The Magic of Japan in Shao Lin Harmony

THQ and Polygram Magic of Japan have just announced that they will work in tandem to develop and publish Shao Lin for the Sony PlayStation. And while Shao-lin monks are all about maintaining peace and harmony in a violent world through Zen meditation and avoidance of conflict, this game, like the practice itself, won't exactly be total serenity. Martial arts plays amajor role in sustaining a harmonious life.

Shao Lin is a multiplayer fighting game that will feature six martial arts disciplines within a story mode - with an RPG flavor - versus play, and a training mode for you to cultivate your style. In the versus mode, players will be able to battle up to three other humans, or up to five CPU opponents simultaneously. Your mind, body, and spirit can look forward to Shao Lin hitting the shelves in November.
