This fighting game is not like other fighting games. So, don't think it is a side scroller. More like a great classic beat'em up fighter. this has solid graphics, gameplay is fun/easy learning controls, and the monsters are very cool and creative. King Kong is juat a name that would immediately pop into your mind when you see the characters. Congar is your King Kong. He could be said that he is very balanced ground based, but one combo loving, hard hitting monkey. Then add to the fray of moves the long and short specials. Grab an object and pound it into the head of your enemy, skewer yor enemies with radio towers, and flag poles. Throw it, steal it in air, grab opponents, and kick butt are all easy learning controls. The creativity of the moves, and how you can stomp on people and blast buildings apart are very cool.Then you have the Energy and Health pick ups. The taunt-then-have-extra-power-until-your-energy-runs-out is very cool. The special attacks that you can use is nice and effective(Congar's Scream goes through walls/buildings). Then the enemy AI is very well-put and adjustable. Pro's- Original/New looking characters you can name from movies Simple yet effective control scheme. AI is splendid. If it looks destructible, it most likely is. Ending movies make sense to the monster creation. Con's- When you put AI difficulty up, be prepared immediately!! Mini-games hard to grasp at first.Read full review
War of the Monsters is a great game. It is very much like an updated version of the old arcade game Rampage. There is a mission mode, which is ok, and theres a 2 player mode, which is awesome. You can select from a number of large monsters and fight in a city. The cities are completely interactive. You can pick up cars and throw them and you can climb and destroy buildings until the entire city is leveled. The more missions you play, the more levels and characters you can unlock. You can also unlock several minigames, which can be pretty entertaining. 2 player mode has a split screen, but when the 2 players get close to each other, the screen changes to a single screen. Many times this transition can cause slight disorientation and force you to change the direction you are trying to go on the controller. This is probably the worst part about the control of the game. But overall it is a very good game. Even after you have unlocked everything it is still fun to play in 2 player mode for hours.Read full review
The completely destructable environments, great monster choices, (Rhodan, Godzilla, King Kong without them being Rhodan, Godzilla, King Kong) and fast gameplay make this a top game. The only things that kind of limit the game are the small environments, the action is too "fast" making the game feel like it isn't as epic as it could be. More military interaction with damage possibilities would have been nice, too. But if you want a beat 'em up party game, you need to look no further. My nieces and nephews still get a kick out of the game, and I have had it for 3 years. It is unfortunate that they never came out with a sequel to this game. I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
Best game I’ve ever played! I remember back in 2003 when this game came out and me and my brother played it for hours! Years later, we are finally playing this game again! It’s so nostalgic! They really kept good care of the game and it was in perfect condition when it arrived. No scratches or any glitches. Perfect!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The kids and I play these games together when I have extra time. However, the games are mostly for their enjoyment! War of the Monsters is fun if you like hunting, capturing and/or shooting. You get to select characters, attacks and weapons as power ups! And of course there is upgrades to be won! We collect Playstation games, so of course this was another purchase for that as well! PS2 still rocks at our house and will for years to come!
