Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks Description

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is an Action/Adventure title driven by both intense single and multi-player action. Similar to the recently released Mortal Kombat: Deception, background interactions (i.e., acid pits, living trees, spiked ceilings, etc.), multiple new fatalities, and action-based puzzles will also play an important role in the player's quest for an "outstanding" victory. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks will feature an impressive line-up of Mortal Kombat characters, as well, that make frequent appearances as enemies, in boss battles and during several additional in-game interactions.

Mediocrity meets Mortal Kombat - again. This game sounds more fun than you can actually have. It's just too simplistinc and unbalanced to be anything other than a mindless throwaway title. The levels are ver similar and the game world never really opens up leaving yo on a linear path to the end pulling off the same combo over and over again with the same fatalities that looked a bit rubbish the first time. Not forgetting the unforgiving end of game boss that will test the patience of any gamer - sadly this lets an average game down a bit along with the unwieldly platforming that luckily does not rear it's ugly head too often.
