Shaolin Monks is a veritable museum of Mortal Kombat memorabilia, with the game piling in plenty of characters, locations and secrets from the early games.

Once a character's Fatality meter is filled, a player just needs to press the L1 button, input in the appropriate series of joypad and button moves, and voila - much bloodshed ensues.

Making a return is Mortal Kombat's infamous Fatality moves, which in Shaolin Monks has been transformed into one-hit kills which can be performed on most enemies.

Players will see their fair share of decapitations, impalings and dismemberment - although it's all done in an extremely over the top way. In true Mortal Kombat tradition, the action in Shaolin Monks is brutal and bloody. These can be accessed by holding down R1 and pressing the appropriate attack button. Each character also sports their particular special moves from earlier games, such as Liu Kang's fireballs or Kung Lao's hat throw.

Blocking is achieved by pressing L2 on the PS2 controller. Three types of attacks can be made - light, heavy and power strikes (which can lift an enemy in the air for a combo). The game's controls are a breeze to learn, and while there's several combos and special moves that can be pulled off, Shaolin Monks leans more towards button mashing than finesse play. You'll have to make your decision on whether to play solo or not early on, however, as once you start a single player game there's no option for a second to join in. In fact, several game secrets and challenges can only be unlocked when playing with a partner. As well as a single player, Shaolin Monks can also be played in its entirety as a two-player co-op game. Players will initially be able to select from two characters - Liu Kang and Kung Lao - although two more characters can be unlocked as the game progresses. The game is set directly after the conclusion of the first Mortal Kombat, and has players take on the minions of Outworld's Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung to protect Earth from invasion.
