Greetings from E3 in Los Angeles, CA. So far the show has been good, not quite the calibur of shows we've been to in the past, but for <strong>Mortal Kombat</strong> fans, E3 2004 has been a great venue for the <strong>MK</strong> franchise. Midway has eight stations with <strong>MK: Deception</strong> playing on widescreen flat panels, four Xbox, four PS2. Also, Microsoft's booth has four stations of <b>MK:D</b> on Xbox.
<p>
So far the response from everyone who has played or seen the game has been overwhelmingly positive, with the interactivity of the backgrounds grabbing the most attention. Gameplay fundamentals seems to be similar to the foundation of <strong>MK: Deadly Alliance</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Along with <b>Deception</b>, <b>Midway Arcade Treasures 2</b> is on the floor, with only 3 total games available: <b>Total Carnage</b>, <b>N.A.R.C.</b>, and <b>Mortal Kombat</b>. <b>MK</b> is a direct port of the arcade version and plays truly to the original.
<p>
Due to time crunch issues, we will bring you our full impressions of <strong>Mortal Kombat: Deception</strong> and <strong>Midway Arcade Treasures 2</strong> on Friday evening.
