FROM THE MAKERS OF TWISTED METAL BLACK

This is probably one of the only games of its kind.Its nothing like godzilla melee.Almost everything is destructive or responsive.The characters are great and most are based from old monster movies.There are also 2 unlockable characters and tons of levels.Theres also 4 costumes for each monster and the first 2 are free.Heres a secret,if you have twisted metal black and have a saved game on your ps2 you can unlock the sweet tooth costume which is agamos 4th costume.You can through spears,rubbel,cars,airplanes,etc.The only bad thing is its only 2 players.Otherwise,this is a great game.

This game was postively awesome. It is bassically a fighting game for up to 2 players, and when playing multiplayer it resorts to a split screen mode which eventually resorts to a full screen combat when all combatants in the arena gather in one placed to brawl. The game is simply amazing, as you climb tall buildings and jump from rooftop to rooftop. Most of the enviorment is fully interactive from the sword in Gambler's Gulch which you can take out and use as a powerful weapon to the UFO in one arena where you can toss something at it and create a huge tsnumai. The game is simply amazing. The graphics are great and the fighting is also awesome. When you pummel a building it either slowly sinks into the ground, or sometimes it cracks in half and falls crushing any unspespecting monsters. This is a great game, and the fighting is absolutely seamless. The enviorment is so fully interactive that you can battle in a huge city and soon there will be no buildings left. When you can jump from rooftop to rooftop it is absolutely amazing, espesially when you and an opposing monster take to the rooftops to a battle high above the ground.

War of the monsters is a greatly polished game. The animations and drawing look great.Oh, and you can't forget about those great graphics. I'll tell you there is nothing better then picking up a piece of metal and sticking it through oppennet.
The game is basically a free-for-all with little replay for one player. In the game you pick a monster and u just kill erverything and every1.You can pick up just about anything is this game like cars,sharp pieces of metal,tanks,bolders,and so on. But this game has some problems. it is kinda difficult and is probaly for an experieced gamer,but if your a newbie still pick this up. also the controls arent very good and you will be doing alot of button mashing. But overall this game is great and any1 can jump into this and have fun.

many flaws with this game, but still fun to play

The game's premise:

Aliens invades Earth. Earth counterattacks the aliens, and destroy some of their spaceships. The 'juice' that leaks from the aliens' spaceships give rise to a whole new threat to Earth's existence: giant monsters!

Anyways, you initially start off with a cast of 8 playable monsters - each monster starts off with 2 different costumes you can choose from. Later, you can unlock 2 more costumes for each character. In addition to that, you can unlock 2 extra monsters.

To "unlock" a feature, you have to play the game in either Adventure Mode or Endurance Mode. The further you progress, the more "tokens" you'll get. And with those tokens, you can purchase ("unlock") extra features such as Maps, Costumes, Characters and Mini-games.

There are two problems with unlocking items: the unlockable items are WAY TOO expensive, and most of the extras are WORTHLESS. I'd definitely pass on purchasing the mini-games because they're ridiculously boring. And 2 of the unlockable maps are horrid. As for the extra costumes you can purchase, SOME of them are cool-looking...but they're all horribly overpriced. With the current pricing of unlockable items, you have to beat the game way too many times to unlock all of the extras.

Or shall I say "most" of the extras? (aside from the maps you automatically win in Adventure Mode)

There is one other extra feature out there that can't be bought: and that's Sweet-tooth's costume for Magmo (or whoever that was). In order to "unlock" this extra costume, you have to go out and BUY "Twisted Metal: Black," and beat the game with every character, and then save it to your disk. Whoever thought of the extra-features is, simply-put, a complete imbecile. That's the nicest thing I can say about the extra-features.

I'm going to say you'll only like this game if you're a fan of giant monster movies like "Godzilla," "King Kong," "Rodan," etc...if you're not, then you'll probably find this game a bit repetitive and lackluster (because it is). If you ask me, the controls are way too simplistic. Also, there's way too much of a generic feel for the buttons/contols regardless of the monster you pick. If I was grading this as a regular videogamer, I'd probably give it a 1-star rating. But since I'm grading this as a lover of monster movies, I'm gonna give this 4 stars since I can't seem to find any game like this on the PS2 devoted to giant monsters...

This game is like Super Smash Bros. Melee for Gamecube but you have more manuverablility and you are playing with 100-foot tall monsters!
This game is really fun playing versus your fiends or playing versus computers. The computers are challenging, even in Easy mode!
You can destroy every visible object in every level. You can set off volcaninc eruptions, tidal waves, earthquakes, etc.
This game is very realistic. You can use your environment to demolish your opponent...like grabbing helicopters from the air, blowing up your opponent with a fuel truck....
You can also play baseball! If you have a steel girder, and someone throws an item at you (besides a weapon that you can be impaled with) you can bat it right back at them if you swing at the right time! You can also catch most objects if you time it right.
Adventure mode is very entertaining. The bosses are fun to beat.
When you either kill a certain amount of monsters in endurance mode or by playing adventure mode, you earn tokens. You need tokens to unlock stuff. Even though it is hard to unlock stuff (it takes a long time to earn enough tokens to buy something because they are expensive), it can be made easier by beating the game, and then when you load the game you have beaten already, you'll be fighting the last boss again. He gives you a lot of tokens, and he is pretty easy to beat (at least, in easy mode) after you beat him once.
This game is awesome, bottom line.

best fighting game on ps2

this is one of the best games ever. all of the levels are fully destructible. another good thing about it is you can throw just about anything you see. its also funny seeing the people when they get smashed and the blood is all over the ground. i highly recomend this game to someone who loves fighting games and a little humor along with it. BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Son enjoys this game because he can be a monster and destroy things without getting in trouble...

One of my favorite PS2 games!

War of the Monsters is one of my favorite games for the PS2! Anyone who enjoyed watching monster movies on Saturday afternoon will love it. It is incredibly fun in one- and two-person modes and the destructible environments add tremendously to the game play. How often do you get to knock a building over as an attack on you opponent?!

My biggest gripe with War of the Monsters is the lack of online gameplay and the limited selection of monsters you get to play. To be fair, War of the Monsters came out before Sony had their online capabilities in full swing. It's a shame though, because with online gameplay War of the Monsters could have really been one of the best games for the platform.

Nonetheless, War of the Monsters packs a monster punch!!

Fun!

This is a fun game. A great way to kill some brain cells. Not much to think about, just bash everyone and everything in sight. My only complaint is that your character becomes overly sluggish at times, especially when it's under attack. There seems to be a bit of a controller-responsiveness issue when someone attacks and you try to block, move out of the way, return fire, etc. Other than that, it's a lot of fun. Nothing beats destroying entire cities and impaling your opponents with radio-towers and other sharp projectiles!

Total FUN!

If you like high-action, high-destruction (but not bloody, not obscene, not offensive) action games, this should definitely be in your PSII games collection! Kids and adults alike will definitely enjoy this one... great video, great sound, a wide variety of options. Only thing I don't care for is when, in two-player mode, the screen shifts from a split to a single screen ... and then back. It can be disorienting and throw your "perfect" game off a bit for a few moments. But that is a very minor negative for what is otherwise an immensely fun and intense game!
