Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

"At the end of the day, Shaolin Monks comes across as a solid and fun action game that strongly encourages cooperative play."

"For a franchise as long-lived as Mortal Kombat, the series has rarely branched outside the one-on-one fighting action that made it popular in the first place."

"If you played and loved the classic Mortal Kombat fighters, Shaolin Monks is a game well worth checking out."

"Even with the rough spots, though, Shaolin Monks is really worth a look. Popping for a rental might be a good idea for anyone without a friend to join in the fun, but for those equipped to jam through the co-op mode, it's a hit."

"...Midway has done a great job of taking a very popular, well-entrenched franchise and moving it over to another genre with success. Shaolin Monks isn't without its faults, but the game's tenets are good, the moves, the fighting, the unlockables, and its surprising level of depth all count for so much. And all of this is topped off with the superb co-op mode. Grab a friend and play this, you'll have a blast."
