Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Post by Xvin »

My new issue of OPM featuring a playable demo of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks came in the mail a few days. Sadly, MK:SM turned out to be no better MK Mythologies and Special Forces. The camera was horrible. The voice acting was far from superb. The kombat system was extremely simplistic. A five year-old could master the controls within a few minutes. The boss fight with Baraka was just bad. And the graphics were nowhere near as pretty as the shiny clean visuals seen in Deception. However, as a huge MK fan, I have to admit that it was cool to battle oni demons in Goro's Lair and walk through the famous Pit stage on the way out of Shang Tsung's palice. But if you take away those small things, there's nothing there.

4/10

Sorry, I don't have the necessary equipment to take screenshots. However, there should be plenty of screenshots at <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/' target='_blank'>Gamespot</a> and <a href='http://www.ign.com/' target='_blank'>IGN</a>.

<span style='color:green'>same here. As an obsessed, hardcore, loyal, and demanding fan, i expect every mk to be better than the last. i dont even like the idea of Shaolin Monks anymore, because it will give mk a bad name.... :angry: :( </span>
