GameSpot has just posted a video tour of Midway's upcoming action/adventure game, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks! The video, which clocks in at just under three minutes, features commentary from MKSM team members such as Steve Beran, Ed Boon, John Vogel, Marty Stoltz, and Shaun Himmerick. The first half of the video covers the back story and the opening cinematic, where facts previously unknown are revealed, such as the fact that Kung Lao was presented during the first tournament, in disguise as one of Shang Tsung's guards. The second half of the video discusses gameplay mechanics; not much new is covered here, except for a mention (and demonstration) of the return of Test Your Might, as Kung Lao and Baraka parry, attempting to get the best of one another as the game shows a power meter for the player to fill.

The video is available for download to GameSpot Basic members, and for streaming to non-members. The low-resolution video is 34.4 MB, and the high resolution video is 76.1 MB. To download or stream the video tour, click here.
