You want a short review? Okay here goes-
It was good

Quick review. Deception is not for a hardcore fighting fan it's designed for a very casual gamer. The fighting engine has always been about simplicity but deception brings it to a new level making the entire game about 50/50 change ups. The more you play the fighting part the more you realize how little testing was done numerous infinites glitch combo's off throws unneeded lag after moves etc... It got rid of a lot of features that helped to balance the previous game and added features that don't help the current one. Combo breakers are great except there are combo's that can't be broken and you only have 3 anyway. The basics of the system were stolen from the tekken series, sidestep/sidewalk and stances, but left out a lot of key elements that make it workable.
If we were to judge it totally on the fighting part it would come up as one of the worst fighting games for a next gen system. It added in a lot of fluff though to distract you and that is something that appeals to the casual gamer. Puzzle kombat is a tribute to puzzle fighter though probably not as good overall. Chess kombat is a tribute to archon but it still relys primarily on the fighting engine which is broken. Konquest was touted as an rpg style adventure mode. In reality it's more like a museum. You have limited interaction no way to really improve your character and you can't really do much. You follow a green light and unlock chests for alternate costumes or videos/art of things that aren't even in the game. If you choose to you can run around doing side "quests" to get more koins and run into a lot of things that don't follow the previous storyline of mk.
In conclusion the engine is poorly designed and a step back from the previous game. The extras keep you occupied and if you are a casual gamer it can take awhile to notice system flaws. Online play is a positive for a lot of people playing against somebody else is fun even if the engine doesn't allow for deep or involved gameplay. Puzzle kombat is fun. If you like to unlock things like art and interviews than it's a good game for you as well though personally I saw the majority of the krypt as a negative.
Mortal Kombat deception does a great job at not being a fighting game but does a poor job at being what it's supposed to be. If you want a casual game that takes very little time to master the system go for deception. If you want a game with a deep fighting system go for street fighter:anniversary collection, soul calibur 2, Tekken 4/Tag, guilty gear x2, or Virtua fighter evolution.
