Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks for PlayStation 2

Pros: Great homage to MK, addictive gameplay, cool unlockables, challenging puzzles, 10 fatalities/person
Cons: Somewhat repetitive at times, VS mode could have been better, story same regardless of character

Pros: Easy fighting system, great backgrounds, new interactive environments and new people to fight.
Cons: Characters are "flat" looking, dialog could be better, little replay value.

Pros: cool videos and combos in game.
Cons: when the character are talking they might sound stupid.

This game is fun and addicting overall it's a good game to play if your into Mortal Kombat. This game has some cool extra like photo you have to unlock or video and a MK2 game.
