Fighting game where you pick from the series roster to stop a resurrected Dragon King named Onaga from claiming six realm-controlling artifacts. Standard one-on-one combat returns with Arcade, Versus, and Practice modes, plus the Krypt's unlockable content. Three side modes add variety: Konquest Adventure follows warrior Shujinko across realms as he learns he's been tricked into reviving the villain, Chess Kombat plays fighters like chess pieces on a board, and Puzzle Kombat offers a block-matching diversion. PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions support online matches against other players. GameCube lacks online but includes Goro and Shao Kahn as exclusive playable characters. If you want straightforward fights with optional minigames and story detours, this package delivers both.
