The GameCube version does not support online play, although it does add Goro and Shao Kahn as playable characters that are not available in any other version. Kenshi then comes under the tutelage of Kuai Liang, now retired and reluctant to train Kenshi - but also the only fighter powerful enough to challenge Kano. Cocky and undisciplined, Kenshi loses both his eyesight and his confidence after Kano and his clan attack him. These new characters are meant to counterbalance the previous characters’ more destructive powers.īoth the Playstation 2 and Xbox versions offer the ability to compete against other players online. One young man won't bend the knee to Kano: Kenshi. The game also includes the introduction of nine new fighters with unique combat styles: Ashrah, Dairou, Darrius, Havik, Hotaru, Kira, Shujinko, Onaga, and Kobra. Long-time fans of the franchise will recognize these characters as they appear in the game. Veterans of the original Mortal Kombat games, such as Sub-Zero and Scorpion, Kabal, Baraka, Mileena, Ermac, and Nightwolf, are joined by relative newbies as Bo’Rai Cho, who made their debut in Deadly Alliance. Twelve different Mortal Kombat fighters are available for selection when the game begins, and these can range from fan-favorite veterans to enigmatic newbies. In addition, there are new modes called Konquest Adventure, Chess Kombat, and Puzzle Kombat, each offering a unique set of minigames for players to enjoy.

The traditional Arcade, Versus, and Practice game types have all been brought back, and the Krypt has been updated with all-new loot. In the sixth installment of the fighting series, based on the engine from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, players are challenged once more to engage in combat to eliminate this new danger.
