1UP.COM has updated with a 2-page preview of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, as well as 11 new images - some of which are exclusive! They talked to Paradox, the Shaolin Monks developer recently acquired by Midway Entertainment, about the acquisition and of course, the game itself. Says Producer Shaun Himmerick:
"We have smoothly integrated all the elements people love about the Mortal Kombat fighting games: string and juggle combos, special moves, fighting stances, weapons, background fatalities, and fatalities. The first thing you will notice is how well the controls have transitioned to an adventure game. We scaled back the moves and combo systems from a traditional MK fighter to be more friendly to an adventure game. The combat is not limited to attacking one opponent in one direction; it flows freely from the ground to the air and in all directions around the player...even with this however, we still have easily the deepest and most diverse fighting engine of any adventure game out there... easily"
