-(The Graphics)-
Graphically, Shaolin Monks isn't that impressive. If you look closely at the character models, you will notice some fairly low-resolution faces and costumes, and the animations are occasionally choppy slow. Pretty much every fighting arena from MKII has been re-created here. You'll find yourself wandering through the living forest, uppercutting bad guys into the pit, and navigating the pitfalls of the barren wasteland and that's one of the best things about the graphics as the environment looks fantastic.

obtaining the scroll.
Sixty years later, it transpires that the monk is in fact very much alive and is living in the USA. Whilst travelling on the Metro system one day he encounters a young pickpocket, whose aid he enlists in saving the life of a small girl who has fallen onto the tracks. Unbeknown to the monk, the pickpocket steals the scroll from him but immediately loses possession to a local crime lord known as Mr Funkastic.
