Monks follows your typical beat-em-up storyline, with plot twists that a primary school dunce could see coming, and plenty of meaningless banter about where to go next, but that’s not what Monks is really about anyway. Midway has taken just about everything we love about the series – a strong cast of crazies, combos galore, and enough blood to coat the country three times over – and bundled it up into a neat little package for our enjoyment.īlood, guts and sexual tension aside (oh Lui and Katana, when will they ever learn?), Shaolin Monks actually sports a story, and more surprisingly, an interesting one. But with every failure comes a success (according to my mother at least), as is the case with Shaolin Monks. Of course, there was a little title known as Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, but did anyone actually play that? I suppose Mythologies’ biggest downfall was that fans knew what it could have been, and what it clearly wasn’t. What surprises me the most about Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is the fact that it took Midway this long to realise the potential of a Mortal Kombat-inspired scrolling beat-em-up.
