    This game and Deception completely shaped the universe of MK in my mind. And they never really got back there until MK 11, but even then, it's more of an homage than world-building.

  • @wilsvgaddiction4456
    @wilsvgaddiction4456 Год назад +44

    This game was incredibly special. This was a time when companies would still try new ideas with their properties. This game took what was, in my opinion, the best era of MK games (1st & 2nd games) and made a really fun 2 player action game in that world. There was so much fan service jammed into the games. It was a bit repetitive but it had a very competent engine and was fun to play, especially with a second player. I really with they'd make a follow up for it.

      they have different realms , iconic fighters.
      they could give another take to the characters or expand their stories , it's crazy.

    I played Shaolin Monks countless times. I knew it was gonna be a masterpiece. I bought it on launch day. I'm Re-playing it again on my steam deck. It brings a tear to my eye because it brings back a lot of memories of playing this game when i was younger. Ed Boon and the team really made something special here. The fact Warner Brothers, who now own MK haven't allowed Ed and the team to make a remake or sequel. I sure hope we get one one day.

That was a good game.. I consider it cannon, just in my head it's one of the alternate worlds we learn about in Mortal Kombat (2011) just like Special Forces and Mythologies.

    Prior to its peak here in Argentina, PS2 was found mostly in a lot of stores where one could play it by paying for the hour. Although there were a great deal of games available, the three most chosen by far were FIFA, PES (as we love football/soccer) and Shaolin Monks. That was somewhat odd since it was an adventure game which one's progress could not be saved and yet this game became an icon for children and teenagers who also got their own copy of the game at the moment they could get their own PS2 at home.

    That's how my cousin and I were introduced to to the game. At an age where we were a bit too young, and our copy was badly pirated, so we only got up to a certain point in the campaign...

    I just wish Ed Boon brings a remastered port for this game. Not only Shaolin Monks, but to bring a collection of old MK games too.

    They really need to made Shaolin Monks 2 battling Shinnok and Quan Chi, the combat system is good as hell conparable to God of War at the time

    Wish they made more MK games like this. Or at least a story mode like Shujinko's and Taven's but in this style.

    This was my first and only PS2 game (financial issues, third world country... had to sell them, sadly), and I knew this game better than the palm of my hand, I didn't have a memory card, so I had to play it from the start every time, and I loved every second of it. I was so happy when I managed to emulate it on my gaming PC years later.
    I still like the 2D games and I'm excited for Mortal Kombat 1, but GOD I'd give everything I have and I'd sacrifice Mortal Kombat 1 for a remake and/or a sequel any day!!

    SM was a masterclass is in both presentation and mechanics. It’s the only MK game I’d describe as “fluid” tbh. Scorp and Sub Zero were neat but obviously not as mechanically sound as LK and KL (juggling and other moves are more fluid with the main cast). Had a lot of fun in multiplayer too. Would love this game redone with online co-op, seems a no brained.

    This game is probly my second favorite of them all, umk3 being the first. The same screen co-op(i hate split screens), the fact that they made kung lao an absolute beast and the way you play through the mk2 story was just brilliant. My only dissapointment was the fact that they didnt give us a mk3 shaolin monks game...seems like a wasted opportunity.

    • @vaibhavwasnik4996
      @vaibhavwasnik4996 Год назад

      @CelicAWD Actually we mk fans need both mk 3 shaolin monks video game and mk 4 shaolin monks video game because chosen one liu kang 🐉 was still the main protagonist of both mk 3 and mk 4 but after that liu kang was died in mk deadly alliance then Lord raiden becomes the main protagonist of mk deadly alliance video game on other hand kung lao was died in mk 3 but kung lao death in mk 3 doesn't matter because liu kang is a main protagonist of mk and liu kang still alive in mk 3 and mk 4 so we want both mk 3 shaolin monks & mk 4 shaolin monks video game not only mk 3 shaolin monks video game.

    I hope so much that NR try this shit again. A 3d beat em up or even a full 3rd person multiplayer arena game like quake or even team based like Overwatch but focused on melee not guns. This is the dream.
