Simply stand back and wait until your partner has damaged an opponent just enough, then jump in at the last second and get the last attack in. However, in the co-operative mode, there is an easier way to earn points. You can gain the most experience when you use the special finishing attacks on your opponent. So, as the player, you naturally want to rack up as many experience points as possible. New attacks and other desirables are gained throughout the game by accumulating experience points by killing monsters and bosses. This is not as annoying as it may sound, but it does force both players to work together, which may become annoying if the second player steals your experience. “Shaolin Monks” achieves this with some old standards of game play such as both characters having a limited range motion so each will stay on screen the entire time.
Playing the co-operative mode truly brings back the arcade mentality into the game. It retains the classic feel of “Mortal Kombat,” with crisp graphics and dozens of specialized attacks and finishing moves. In all, the story mode is a great addition to the game. The story mode is just a fun way to fight and unlock all the levels and characters. Does it really matter? Honestly, I didn’t focus on the storyline too much. I presume that the Earth will be destroyed if you fail, or something else just as horrible. All you need to know is that the guys from Earth are amazing marital artists and they fight the bad guys who are not from Earth. If you never played any “Mortal Kombat” games before, here it is in a nutshell. The plot is simple and takes place between the first and second video games. The story is identical for both one and two player versions. The story mode can be played with either a single player or in an arcade style co-operative setting with two players. This time, “Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks,” gives the player a chance to experience the characters outside the arena.
Of course, there are still all the standard one-on-one fights you can handle. Finally, the game’s maker, Midway, has changed the focus from strictly a fighting game to an action adventure game. Thirteen years after the original “Mortal Kombat” came out, it has remained popular for its characters and over-the-top gore. The first game to have such excessive violence in it that it enraged parents has made its way back again.
