After playing with "War" for a bit, you start to find little gems to pull on your competiton. Like using an I-beam as a baseball bat to whack thrown debris back at your opponents. Or, try to catch objects and then toss them back. These plus the combos are just the kind of gems that turn this fun little toy into a game that won't easily get old! Too bad it doen't have 4 player or net connection. I'd give it a 5 for either.

Tear down a city after a hard day at work...

Up front I will admit that I am not a gamer - at least not like my friends are. I only own half a dozen games and I pick them based on their uniqueness, and being single they tend to be games that don't require others to enjoy. That said I love War of the Monsters for allowing me to the ability to mindlessly destroy and entire city (raze it to the ground) and blow off steam in a socially acceptable way. The graphics are of a high enough quality that I don't spend my time nit picking the look of it and allow myself to become immersed in the mayhem. Now that I am thinking of it I will probably pop it in for a while tonight before I go to bed. The down side for me is that I have unlocked everything and really have nothing else to look forward to, unless of course I start again from scratch...

Best game I have played in a while

The graphics are great and so is the fighting. If you buy this game I think, no garuntee that you will love it. Everyone I know who has this game loves it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Buy this game and have a great time!!!

King Kong vs Godzilla anyone?

This game is great. This is the first time I gave a game 5 stars. The action is intense. The AI is very smart & resourceful. The buttons are smooth & simple yet very effetive. The monsters move great & are very fluent. No glitches or slow downs. The best part of the game is causing total mayhem!! Crushing building & destroying helicopters have never been so fun. The building are detailed great, & the lighting & colors add to it. EVERYTHING is destructable. Once I took out every building standing & battled in smoked filled rumble. Almost anything can be used as a weapon. If you can pick it up you can use it!! The stages are great & are very authentic to the 50's theme. The music is good for this game. Not overly impressive but still nice.

My only complaint is the number of Monsters. I wanted more then 10!! (You start out with 8. You need to buy the other 2) I was also disapointed that the monsters I unlocked werent as good looking as the monsters you start of with. This sucks. The replay value is still high cause you have alot of stuff to unlock, from alternate costumes, monsters, mini game etc.

the best game ever!

This is a really cool game, i borrowed it from a friend and played it for 2 hours with him! it IS SO FUN! in 2 player mode anyways. In the single player mode is WAY TO DIFFICULT, i tohught i could handle the medium mode, but it killed me within 2 minutes, so i tried easy, i killed him, once! If you have any body to play with, or having a party, i would reccomend the eytoy, and this game, for the best game party EVER! SO FUN!

Unique Little Fighting Game! Just Too Bloody Short!

This game took me by surprise as being one of those quirky games that sparks your interest immediately as being different, not quite a Rampage or King of Monsters or a wrestling game though it certainly has the feel of a combination of different games. Anyway it's quite fun, even better with a buddy playing along. The action kicks pretty intense and you have two additional monsters you can unlock with a point system and use as well. My only gripe with War of the Monsters is that the one player story game is too short. Otherwise this game is a fine addition to your PS2 library.

the best game in the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this game is the best! I rented this game and I was in love at the start. You can destroy the whole town! I started picking up buildings and throwing them at the ground. My favorite character is the King Kong type guy. In adventure mode, the bosses (I think) are not hard. I think it's sad that there's only a few copies that I can find. If you're thinking 'bout getting this game, get it while you still can. This truly is the best game in the world. The only thing bad about this game, is that it's incredibley easy once you get the hang of it. And also, "Congar" is the stupidest name I've ever heard of.

I ordered this game for my kids who had played it at a friends house. We could not find it in the stores. They really enjoy playing this game and introducing it to other friends as well.
