Impressions from Midway Press Event

GameSpot has updated with impressions from the newest build of <a href="/games/mksm">Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks</a> from a press event held by Midway last evening. Here is an excerpt:

• The best part about the game's state of completion was that it was possible to finally get a feel for the puzzles and hidden items that will be liberally strewn throughout the game. While in Goro's Lair, flinging an opponent at a chained skeleton on the wall yielded a secret. Later on, in the stage based on the Pit from MK if you fired projectiles at the moon you'd be rewarded with another secret. The visuals were the most polished we've seen for the game to date on both platforms. The environments are detailed and feature a good measure of interactvity.
