Is it wrong to love the Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks demo?

[Bullwinkle]

I got the new issue of XBN, and the demo disc had Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (as well as Rainbow Six: Lockdown multiplayer only and the Incredible Hulk [which was fun, if a little chaotic]).  The graphics are pretty lame.  Its gameplay is simple.  And yet I really enjoyed it.  For one thing, the fighting brings up fond memories of Double Dragon and the like, though it's a little more varied than that.  There's a definite platform element, too.  And (and for me this is really great, though your mileage will probably vary) there's a secret in every room.  I also found the boss fight against Baraka to be fun (in a typical stage-based, what-strategy-to-use way).  It reminded me a lot of Duke Nukem: The Manhattan Project, which I think was a missed gem.  Am I crazy?

Never played it, i havent even played the Mortal Kombat: Deception yet. The price too high. I look forward to playing Shaolin Monks tho, even tho i have to wait till the price drops to 9.99 so i wont be playing the game for a long long time.

Speaking of Duke Nukem Manhattan , i own that game, i  love the first level where you have to jump from root top to root top is fun.

I got to play it quite a bit during a party before E3 and I enjoyed the heck out of it.  I couldn't hear anything because of the DJ but it was a lot of fun to play co-op.  I don't think the appeal would be the same single player...but its hard to say without trying it.

Anyone can attend the E3 Party?

If thats the case, i might go next year and brag about my dremcast idea's. :

How much do i have to pay?

Don't forget who played it along with you.

It is set in the time period of MKII, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun from the demo we played.  I'm looking forward to this one, and it should be better than the Sub-Zero game or Special Forces.
