Boring and Dull. Weekend Rental at Best.

Incog was in production of this game, and true, this game does have some good graphics. True, the game includes several different monsters with different abilities. However, many faults lie in this game. The single-player is dull and tedious, where the computer AI is cheap and very cheap. True, this cheapness may work in Twisted Metal: Black in single-player, but then again, you have shields that surround the car as you escape whereas in this you don't. You can get stabbed in the back quite frequently with an antenna. In terms of multiplayer, it's okay, but then again, Twisted Metal: Black is far better. Overall, this game is a weekend rental at best. Incog, please stick with Twisted Metal for the sake of your fans!

This is one of the best games ive played for PS2. It's fun to try to beat your freinds or the CPUmonsters with every monsters. Even though theres only 8, and 2 unlockable ones, it's still really fun.

My Best Monsters:
1. Raptros (unlockable )
He Looks Like a dragon, Breathes fire, flies etc.

2. Togera
Looks like a Godzilla lizard thing. Breathes green acid/fire, jumps really far

3. Kineticlops
Looks like a cyclops made out of electricity. He's kinda slow, but his projectiles can lock on a move diffeerent directions

4. Zorgulon (unlockable)

5. Robo-47

6. Congar

7. Preyator.

8. Magmo

9. Ultra V

10. Agamo

very very fun game.

This is an ok game sort of....

..if you like a bunch of 100ft. tall monsters beating eachother up as badly possible. I myself have done this plenty of times with my brother (yet another victim to addtiction of games) and beat him every single time. This game made meh think of the godzilla thing or something like that when I playing. WARNING! DO NOT GET THIS GAME IF YOU HATE WHINING SIBLINGS WHEN YOU BEAT THEM AT THIS GAME! omg! that can drive you crazy!!>>....sorry, off topic. NE WAYs. This game has sort of good graphics, although the split screen confused meh. When playing in the 2 player mode, there is a split screen, but sometimes, when your fighting eachother, the 2screens sort of..how should I say, fuse together, which I dun know about you but that really can get you dizzy after a while. I like the 1 player game, there is an endurance mode, which I like to use as "training", this is where you basicly beat up as many other mosters as you can without dying. The game picks the mosters they want you to kill however, after you die, you recieve these points, based on how many mosters you killed before dying. The points you recive are for unlocking other characters, places to battle, and mini-arcade-games. The other mode is free-for-all mode, your basic pick a monster and beat him as many times you want. The last one is adventure, I myself have beaten this mode 46 times and still beating it. But after each battle, you also get points for unlocking stuff. The final boss is SOO easy, I beat it in hard mode 23 times, and for each time beating the final boss in hard mode , you recieve around 60,000 points.GAH! off topic again, oh well. I'd say this game has everything a good multiplayer game needs, everything but more characters. (Did I mention that you shouldn't get this game if you hate really easy one player games? ok, DO NOT GET THIS GAME IF YOU HATE REALLY EASY ONE PLAYER GAMES!!!. good, hope this was helpful, if it wasn't, you just read ... .

Man I've been waiting for games with this concept to be done really good. I wish I could lament the praises of this game as so many other b-movie monster fans have here. But I just can't!

Because WOTM fails! It's not a very good game! The concept is there and good. But singing it's praises stops there! The Graphics are okay. But the big problem is that the gameplay absolutely stinks! The controls are clunky and non responsive, the camera is bad, and as many other people have said; the AI for one player adventure games is way too over the top in difficulty, even on easy mode. You'll find yourself tag teamed to death by the computer without any slack, just too damn often! I just had enough of this title after trying to give it a fair chance off and on over the last few months... It makes a much more enjoyable coaster. ::sigh::

I've given this game plenty of opportunities. Challenge is good... Feeling time and time again that it's better to be lucky than good to pass a level = Bad Game! Mmmmmkay!

I was neither too thrilled with the multi player gaming. Godzilla Destory all Monsters makes for much better multi player game!

I can see why most hardcore gamers dislike this one.... If your an overzealous B-Grade movie monster fan you may be able to forgive the definite problems with it. But definitely a rental first IMO.

This game is great. I am not usually a big fan of brawler games, but this one has plenty to [pull] me in. One, the retro design of the game just oozes style which really appeals to me. The opening intro movie is great, and the cut scenes (which I skip in most games) in adventure mode are specific to whichever monster you choose to play and actually show something about what is going to happen. Cut scenes are easily skipped which is the way it should be. The music is done in a over-the-top symphonic style that fits the old monster movie theme perfectly. It seems to build as you get deeper into a battle and seems to get most dramatic right at the high point of the battle.

The game places you right into the middle of an environment with other monsters to battle. You can pick up things lying around and use them either to hit other monsters if they are within range or you can throw them at them. Cars, planes, fallen pieces of buildings, antennas, water towers, etc. can be picked up. If you pick up something that looks pointy like an antenna, throwing it at another monster will impale them, they will be stuck there for a few seconds and you can really pound them. The environment also contains powerups for health and Special. Maxing out your special points lets the monster do one of its powerful special attacks.

There are 8 different monsters at the beginning. I played through adventure mode with Preytor, a praying mantis monster, and Ultra-V, a robot that sort of resembles Buzz Lightyear. The are a few differences between the monsters-how they fly - Preytor could stay up until his special meter was out while Ultra-V could only blast off and come down-their lazers (Ultra-V's seemed more powerful), and their special attacks. Each monster gets 2 different extra-powerful attacks. I preferred Ultra-V's attacks because he had one you didn't have to aim.

There are easy, medium, and hard settings. I have only played easy, I would hate to see how bad I'd get beat up in hard setting as the computer controlled monsters in this game seem to be incredibly smart. During a battle if they start to get low on health, they will leave you and go look for health powerups. They block and use different kinds of attacks which mixes you up to the point you could swear you were playing another person.

I have played the game in two modes, two-player and adventure mode. I played two player with my son who didn't like getting beat up - so we just added a couple of CPU monsters into the mix and both beat them up instead. Adventure mode for one player is a series of battles with some bosses mixed in The bosses are the standard "figure out the pattern" type but they are new monsters instead of just harder versions of the 8 characters. Adventure mode can be played through in 6-8 hours for a beginner on easy but more gameplay is availibale by playing through with a different monster - the series of enemy monsters and places is the same each time however. Completing each battle in adventure mode earns battle tokens which can be used to unlock "skins" which amount to different paint jobs for each monster.

On the down side there are a few things that stop this game from being perfect. First, it can get frustrating. The levels should be challenging but maybe not take a few hours to beat on easy mode. Second, the game suffers from camera problems. Sometimes your character gets around facing the camera which makes it hard to figure out which way to move. When attacking a monster from long range, you lock on to it then shoot or throw things at it. If you don't lock on, you will miss - why can't it lock on automatically?. Then when you try to lock on in a 2 monster battle, sometimes it picks the monster you don't want and you can't retarget to the other one. Finally sometimes you can be standing around and you will just blow up and lose 1/4 of your health - obviously one of the other monsters throws something at you but you never see it coming - maybe some kind of "incoming" warning would be nice like a falling whistle sound.

But the bottom like is that with falling buildings, big monsters, and the ability to pick up most anything and use it as a weapon, how could you go wrong?

This game is fun if you like fighting games.This game is hard because you have to battle monsters like you to get tokens which helps you to unlock tracks and monsters.This game allows you to pick up items like spears and then lets you throw them at somebody and then you can pick the person up and throw them really far.This is an excellent game.
