Fighting across several areas of Earthrealm, Netherrealm, and Outworld, this game follows Liu Kang and Kung Lao (the Shaolin Monks) as they thwart another invasion of Earth.
Shaolin Monks features a wide cast of recognizable characters, many secret unlockables, as well as being able to play through with a friend in Ko-op mode.
The combat is fast-paced, with numerous ways to dispose of enemies, including Mortal Kombat signature moves and Fatalities.
Kombat goes beyond what can be seen in the fighting games, with several extra features such as the series first Multi-Directional Kombat System, Multalities (kill multiple opponents with one move), Brutalities (see red as you unleash brutal force), Ko-op only team attacks, and even character progression (earn experience to spend on upgrades to moves).
The backgrounds, all based on Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II arenas, come to life with numerous hazards for the monks that they can turn on their enemies.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.
