It's like they took everything that I loved about the monster game genre (King Of The Monsters, Rampage), used it and improved it. So, yes you can feel the king of the monsters feel in it. But, it does it's own thing which is a lot bigger. The single player is very enjoyable and with solid A.I. and absolutely packed with features. You also have options of easy or normal, easy being challenging and normal being hard!. So far I've used Magmo and Ultra. You can really feel the differences too, Magmo is super slow, but strong. He's just amazing to watch in action and Ultra V will probably be everyones favorite. He's like using a transformer or samurai mech toy you had as a kid. Lazer eyes (Complete with the 'bzap bzap' sound effects), a plasma samurai sword and turbo boosters. Every monster I have seen so far is impressive and the intro is one of the best I have seen in a game in a long, long time.

The control system becomes 2nd nature within a few minutes of play and the camera is almost flawless. Playing the game with the mechs is an absolute blast and it feels different then playing with the other monsters. It's hard to explain but fefinitely, my favorite character is Ultra V. A Samurai Mech who knows Kung Fu, shoots lazers froms his eyes, has a grappling hookfor the classic 'Get Over Here' move', and a plasma sword. The sound effects of his jet boost are classic, and the metal impact his strikes and landings make are nothing short of spectacular. His Gundam voice has to be mentioned also. My friend has fallen in love with using Robo 47, the American Mech. A very cool robot if I do say so myself. Other cool ones are of course the lava monster, Magmo. Ultra powerful. The rock monster, Agamo who has the best voice in the game. His sound effects are amazing, you can hear the rock against metal, or whatever surface he is hitting landing on.

The destruction of the city is amazing, eveything is destructible and it visually implemented to perfection. Smooth framrate throught the entire game, for both single and multiplayer modes. It's about as much fun as I have had with a game, maybe ever. It's hard to say whether it will go down as one of my all time faves, because I can't test it's staying power like that yet, but it's a blasr.

It feels like a monster movie come to life. I feel like a little kid playing it as do my friends. Togera (the Godzilla/Beast from 20,000 feet below) has got to be one of the coolest looking monsters I have ever seen. Especially his Mecha-Togera outfit, his green fire breathe is cool as heck, a great special. I can say the same about all the monsters really, they are straight out of some great campy 50's Horror flic. The designers really captured that great work those old movies did, it makes your imagination feel great while you play. My friend I just got done playing a MARATHON session. We unlocked a few secrets. The best being this (Not about sweet tooth, who is a secret character in the game!)....is that you can unlock skins! It's become apparent to me that the 4th version is either an entirely new design or an amazing offshoot to the original. This is a very cool treat in my opinion. Unlocking the 4th of each monster is almost like getting a new character. These aren't just skins, but new designs! Kudos to Incognito for including something so cool. And multiplayer, wow. Whereas bouts in most fighting games are over in a few minutes, you can make a single fight last for over 20 minutes. A friend and I went at it tooth and nail late one night as his Ultra V took on my Robo-47 in an epic 'best of three' fight that took nearly an hour to complete. As you learn the levels, you start to understand how to best use the items, and can really keep things challenging. Health and energy icons spawn in specific locations to help make the fights about more than just beating on each other so their is endless replay value. This is some of the most fun I have had with a 'new' game in a long time.

Great game, albeit a bit short

First thing i like to do in this review is ask why? why is such a great game not being sold anymore, besides on amazon marketplace and e-bay. this game never got onto the great hits list. Matter of fact hardly any newer games are. this game is the best take on big monster movie type brawls, and if anyone ever played that awesome game for the sega genesis King of the Monsters, you would totally appreciate how awesome this game is. massive levels, Co-Op freaking sweet i must say, i'm a huge fan of co-op. this game even got great reviews when it came out, so why is this not being sold anywhere anymore.

I liked this game a lot when I got it. I still do, too.
Play as one of ten monsters, and each of them has 4 'costumes'. The Agamo No. 4 is of particular intrest, as it is 'special (a.k.a. you can't buy it, you need another game). If you are wondering "What the heck are the monsters?", come no further. I present you with this list:
Raptros: Dragon, unlockable character
Togera: Godzilla-like lizard
Preytor: Big, awesome preying mantis
Kongar: King Kong-ey gorilla
Robo-47: Giant, old-fashioned war robot with atomic missle
Agamo: Big, strong, slow rock man with a tiki head
Ultra-V: Hi-tech robot with grappling hook
Magmo: Half-cooled, four-armed lava monster
Kineticlops: Electrical titan with eyeball in middle of body
Zorugloun: Alien, unlockable character.
The controls are decent, the graphics are stunning, and there is a good way of practicing. Try doing 2-player with only yourself, like this. Select both player's characters, pick your level, then leave the 2nd player control lying on the floor while you pulverise your uncontrolled opponent! Need I say more?

Undoubtedly, the best monster fighting simulation ever

This game just kind of came and went without much notice, but it is exceptional in nearly every sense. The game play is fast and fun, easy to pick up, difficult to master. The monsters are all cool variations on creatures of the classic sci-fi films. And the graphics and sound are amazing.

What I love most about this game is the incredible attention to detail. The environments are huge, especially Metro City. I spent over fifteen minutes smashing it to bits and still hadn't destroyed everything. There are cars of every type, including police vehicles that have sirens you'll hear. And crowds of screaming people getting smooshed as your monster walks through them.

And the music is very cool. I don't normally care that much about music in video games, but it's got a great orchestral score that's not only beautiful, but actually matches the action! That's right. Punch a monster through a building, and you'll get a crashing sting. Don't do anything, and get an eerie bit of tense score filled with anticipation. It's like playing a movie!

I won't go into all the countless other great details: hurling tanker trucks, climbing skyscrapers, impaling your adversary with giant television antennae only to have them wrench it out and hurl it back. It just goes on and on.

The only bad thing about the game is even on Easy the CPU will kick your butt when you first start, which can be frustrating. And it would help if there were more play modes. I was hoping the sequel would be even better, but I doubt it'll ever get made. So pick this one up while you can.

Cute, fair replay value.

My boy and I have lots of fun with this game. You can unlock a fair amount of characters and costumes, but overall the replay value is pretty limited.

A very sweet game though. I love these little monsters. Not awfully creative, but fun nonetheless.

(Smashing buildings is especially fun).

The unoffical return of RAMPAGE!!!

This game might be the direct competion for Game Cube's Godzilla game, but I would buy this game over the Godzilla game hands down. The latest issue of Playstation magazine has a demo for the game on the CD that comes with it. All reviews for this game are based on that demo and the HUGE review the magazine had on it. The entire game has a B movie feel to it, which I thought I would not like, but when the game started it fit perfect.

The Monsters: There is 8 monsters in the game, I believe. A giant gorilla, a giant reptile, a giant preying mantis (that can fly), at least one giant robot (maybe 2 and pretty sure one of them can fly), a giant rock monster, a giant lava monster with 4 arms, and giant eye whose body is composed of electricity.

The different ways to play: There is the challenge mode, where any two monsters can fight (2P or 1P vs CPU) and on different type of maps. There is adventure mode which I am to believe is how you try to beat the game with one monster (but dont quote me on this). Lastly there is an endurance mode which I would say is pick your monster and go as long as you can before you are killed.

Aspects of the game: Radio antennas on buildings can be throw as spears and then pulled out by the victim and throw back. Cars driving around on the road can be through like rocks. Fuel trucks can be picked up and thrown like grenades (highly explosive and yes you can catch on fire). You can grab the helicopters but I dont know yet how well they work as weapons. You can destroy and topple buildings (and yes buildings can crush you DEAD). You can pick up energy and health around the map. With enough energy each monster has a close range special attack and a long range special attack. I-beams can be wielded as nasty clubs. Each monster has his own attacks on the level of a straight fighting game, combos and such. This game supports the screen splitting and merging back together as the two combatants move apart far enough and then close back up. This isnt in the demo but the reviewers in the magazine say its practically seamless and very smooth. You can also taunt your opponents (havent tried this and dont know if it affects your enemy or not).

All in all, the little people running around probably arent japanese and the giant reptile isnt godzilla; but I wont be surprised if there will be some simblance to him in the game. This game is awesome. I would buy it based on the demo alone. I will buy it the day it comes out and I havent been that way about a PS2 game since Nascar Thunder 2003 came out. If you liked Rampage or Godzilla (and to a lesser degree fighting combat games) then you need to check this game out.

A must buy for this price!!!

There is a ton of stuff you can do in this game! Pick up objects and throw them at your enemy and you can even pick up an I-beam and hit objects back that are thrown at you or catch objects thrown at you.(It does take some timing though)

Great game play, easy controls,(Easy enough for my daughter to play with me which is great!) and easy concepts on what is going on. Lots of extras like skins,places to fight, and characters.

As far as the one player adventure mode it does take some time to getting use to fighting two monsters at one time because they are relentless.

The downfalls are no 4-player mode or online experience, the camera views are tricky at times, lock-ons should be on the monster closer to you, and no two player cooperitive.

It makes up for what it does'nt have very easily. The best part is my 4 year old daughter still has'nt beaten me!:)

We've only been able to experiment with the demo, but so far it's a terrific game! You can choose from all kinds of different monsters -- from a King Kong-like monster to electric energy monsters. As you battle your opponent, your monster can pick up cars, pieces of buildings, etc. and throw them at each other. The 3-D environment is captivating. You won't be able to put it down!
