TRMK Reviews Mortal Kombat: Deception Backwards Compatibility on Xbox 360

Jeff Greeson — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:30:03 -0800

Earlier in the week, Microsoft announced that Mortal Kombat: Deception would be one of the first Xbox games to be backwards compatible with their new console, the Xbox 360. While the Xbox 360 isn't due to be released until this Tuesday, TRMK has gotten a hold of the Xbox 360 early this weekend. Please check out our signature site expose several issues in our special feature: Mortal Kombat: Deception on Xbox 360.

Unfortunately, the fight scenes are emulated fairly poorly. The game camera keeps getting blocked by polygons that pop over the action constantly. The character I was playing with would develop some polygons stretching out past the camera view. It would only get worse the next round, as I find some stages are worse than others. The game started to slow down and redraw polygons across the camera surface, totally making the game unplayable. In one stage the screen was completely covered in a rainbow of polygons, so bad that I had to force a reboot of the system to quit out of the game.
