Gory Game 6 (Mortal Kombat: Deception)

     Mortal Kombat, has been known for its arcade type games that have been around since the 80's. But recently a new Mortal Kombat was made and might be very violent for young players. This game was released October 4, 2004. It was rated M, because of what you can do to the other player you are fighting. The game was played with one of the characters on the left side, of a 2-d like battlefield facing vertically, and the other player, either AI or a friend playing with you, on the right side. Each player has a number of health points and your goal is to bring down the opponents health before you. You can use a number of attacks with a lot of button combos. You can also defend from other attacks by your opponent. But there is one last thing, if you bring the other opponent to the edge of the battlefield, which is like a square, there can be sorts of mechanisms and nature that can 1-hit KO your opponent; they are called "death traps."

     On one of the maps, if you knock the opponent on the edge into a death trap, they get squished by a mechanical press with spikes in it and that were heated. When squished, theres a visual of blood coming out the sides and when the press opens again, you see the body parts and blood all on the inside. The fact that seeing the body parts, which we all know is a very graphic and violent image, and knowing what just happened to that person, makes the game a very violent game. If that's not all, every character that you can choose in the game, has special finishing moves, called fatality moves. These "fatality moves" are used when the opponent has no health left and the announcer goes "finish him/her." When you use the fatality move, it ranges up to your character freezing the character then smashing each and every body part of the enemy, so that just their head is left, then smashing the head when the other body parts are "destroyed."It can also be, your character, ripping the enemies head off, pulling their head and their whole spine with it, creating graphic images. Seeing those kinds of images is terrible for one to see. The game should probably be rated higher than 17+ (M). Even adults shouldn't even view this. The fatality moves and the death traps, all are examples leading up to one main point, that this game is way to violent, even for older players.
