This game is easy to pick up and start playing. I was hesitant that this was not in traditional Mortal Kombat fighting game. I was pleasantly surprised as I started playing this game. I love the story, the cut scenes, the secrest/hiddden stuff, of course my favorite the Fatalities with lots of blood and gore!!! The only thing I found annoying was the camera angles for both single and co-op play. Oh another thing I didn't like is sharing life meter with player 2 when on co-op play. Overall this game is a whole lot of fun.

Loved this game

Having a co-op mortal kombat was great. I wish that there were more to play.

the best sequel to part one of the movie.

this game gives a better understanding and ending than the mortal kombat 2 movie.
graphics are cool. you can defend your relm with 4 characters, lots of moves, fatalities, combos, and there is 2 player mode.
the best mortalkombat game since mortal kombat 3 trilogy.

interesting

Basically, your Liu Kang/Kung Lao and you have to fight your way from the end of Mortal Kombat 1 to the end of Mortal Kombat 2 in a NON-CANON story. The fighting is cool and Kung Lao's air juggles are awsome, but that's about all I can say for this game.

Easy with friends and very hard by yourself. With a friend you can beat this game in a day (I did). Alone, if your anything like me, you'll get bored and frustrated after a couple of hours and say "Forget this game! Deseption is better anyway!"
But if you do manage to beat it you'll be rewarded with the added characters of Sub Zero and Scorpion, who don't work well in a free roam environment.

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Shaolin Monks is by far my favorute mortal kombat game. This is the only game if i am not mistaken where you could go on an adventure with kung lao. Now the graphics are good but they could have mapped the faces better but instead they actually modeled it. That really sets it off i am a 3d-artist and i know how hard it is to make charecters but the cloth in this game is really nice to very realistc. enough of that lets get on to the storyline, this takes place right before lui kang fights shang tsung in other words right before the end of the first movie basically next kung lao comes in. After shang stung is almost defeated goro comes in and beats all of Raiden's warriors. Raiden comes in but the floor breaks and kung lao and liu kang are trapped in goro's lair this is where the game starts. Gameplay is very easy to learn and fatality's are easy to perfect this game also has kind of a leveling up rpg twist to it which makes it unique(note it is still fighting)! The game modes in this are ko-op, single player, and versus mode i rated this 5 stars because it has a very nice storyline very original I would say and a unique battle system.

not too many choices for single player :(

the reason i dont rate it a 5 is because i have 2 big complaints for Mortal combat shaolin monks..This is by far the best fighter outhere,"THE" BESt" mortal kombat ever to hit a console...period!!! Its like the god of war of fighting games...for the single player mode, and im gonna go straight to the point...i dont have a partner to play with, so i gotta go solo on this...THE SINGLE PLAYER STORY MODE SHOULD HAVE BEEN JUST LIKE THE KO-OP MODE WITH THE HELP OF THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!! i dont see why not!!!!!! ALSO THE VERSUS MODE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR SINGLE PLAYER....IM UNLOCKING ALL THE SECRET CHARACTERS AND I CANT DAMM USE EM!!!!!!!! i dont expect my wife to be the second player, she doesnt like video games,, so im screwed!!!!! MIDWAY, TAKE NOTES ON THIS AND DONT SCREW THE NEXT GAME WITH THIS!!!! OVERALL, a total masterpiece but this issue messes it bigtime......

Nice Change of Pace!

This game follows a similar formula to "MK Mythologies: Sub Zero", except the gameplay is much more well done and enjoyable. You play as Liu Kang and Kung Lao (or Scorpion and Sub-Zero by unlocking them). The story takes place at the end of the first Mortal Kombat tournament and proceeds through the tournament of "Mortal Kombat II" in Outworld. The game has a lot of replay value, though the final boss (Shao Kahn) is very difficult to beat if you're not fighting as Liu Kang ( since he fires projectiles the fastest). Now that the price is down to $29.99, the game is more than worth it's price! Even those who aren't fans of Mortal Kombat will enjoy this, but only the fans will catch the nostalgia from the old "MK II" game.

Now we are talking Mortal kombat

I'm gonna tell am a super fan of MORTAL KOMBAT games but the last two were really disappointed cuz I didn't like the idea of playing an adventure as some monk or a guy randomly and been teached by the really charechters That i like ... will any how this one is the real (and thank GOD) one i wished MIDWAY could bring to us .
lets talk about the game shall we ...OK then

First i'll start with the gaming ,their is the (story mode( singel or KO-op)- the versus mode-Loading saved games -the option - and the Kontent which you will all of the secrets of game and movies and art you've collected in the game,,
you'll start tha story game mode which is the best of the game wether you choose from Kung Lao or Liu King to choose from or you can play on them both in 2 player mode Ko-op every one of theme has at least 10 fatalitys YES 10 plus their are also two secret charechter which are (Sup-zero and Scorpion) you can play with theme if u find the hidden secret coins scattered all over the game.
The versus Mode which is complately diffrent from previos Mortal kombat such as you have completly a free well to walk the stage from a clif to waterful from a bredge to rooftop and u also will see some chest you can break to have extra health or magic powers and so on also you can unlock new charecters and stages from the story mode as i told before..
Lastly all of your hidden stuff will be recoreded inthe KONTNENT menu.
overall the graphic is very cool and awsome FX and many many enemies with diffrent powers and style and i almose forget lots of BLOOD AND BODIES every where ..
so make your way in thoes diffrents realmes with your FIST OF STEEL (blood on it will not effect it :) and be the MORTAL KOMBAT CHAMPION
ITS A GAME MUST BUY

SHAOLIN DISCIPLES

Mortal Kombat, next to Street Fighter, is my all time favorite fighting series and has been since Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Already with a slew of games in a decade long catalog, it's about time they focus on two of the most important fighters in the entire series. In the spirit of "Mythologies", "Shaolin Monks" offers background stories on Liu Kang and Kung Lao after the first Mortal Kombat. The graphics are a little dusty but the brand-new fighting system more than makes up for it. You don't even need to pick up the manual to drop all sorts of ass-kicking on Oni-demons, dark wizards, and Shang Tsung's guards. On top of that, the fatalities are more raw than ever, with each person getting 5 to choose from. Don't worry though, if you get sick of the shaolin disciples, you can choose between Scorpion, Subzero, and Baraka as well. Instead of adding new characters and making ish complicated, "Shaolin Monks" chooses to pay tribute to the classic characters that made us love MK from the jump.For the dedicated MK fan, it's a brand new system of fighting, but with a nostalgic touch.
