This game has bad graphics and it freezes a lot. I can't stand what the big deal is. I have a PS2 and this worked fine on my PS2 till it froze. I threw it in my trash can and I will not buy another psone game for my ps two again because if it freezes.

WORSE THAN MOST LICENSED GAMES

This game doesn't help in any way to supress the awful memories of Casper: Spirit Dimensions(PS2) and The Bible Game (PS2, Xbox, GBA), it just throws me deep into video game hell where the worst of my worst nightmares reside. This game is flawed in so many areas I can't think of anything good about this game. For one thing, it is way too simplistic, to the point of where it feels like the idiot's guide on how to play a video game. You'll mostly just spend your time upgrading you scare meter by collecting many, many potions. When you finally scare you subject it doesn't feel rewarding even after you collect all those potions, it just makes you angry that you wasted your time on this crappy game. So to keep it short, the missions suck, the controls suck, the camera sucks, the graphics suck, the characters suck, and the enemies suck.

Wow................. What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a guy who likes to play action shoot 'em ups and I almost fell over when I played this game and liked it. The game is actualy a lot of fun. You can chose to be different characters and explore Scare Island, Through it's many leavels. You will rarly get bored and it is never frustrating. The skill level is rather low and is geared towards younger kids, but this dosent take away from the game. If you like the Spyro and Crash games, you'll love this one.

It was amazing!

Wow, I gotta say... this game is pretty good. The graphics are nicely done, the loads are quick, and the mini movies clips are neat. I never saw the movie, but when I bought this game, I found out a whole lot about it. First of all, when I started playing this game, I thought "Oh man, this game is BORING!" Well, I thought wrong. The game begins with Mike or Sulley in the training area. Yes, you DO get to choose or switch off between the two characters. Later, you go to different levels of an area to scare these robot dudes. 99% of the time, you are successful unless you decide not to press any buttons. But why wouldn't you? Anyways, there aren't any BOSS levels in case you're wondering. The game is easy, I beat it 4 times, and you can save up to 4 files for 1 memory block. Overall, the game is neat, easy, and um.. I guess quite affordable.

Fun and not what you wound think

I am a 12 year old. I heard about monsters inc game and i thought: this will be good for my nephew, a 3 year old. I started playing and i couldnt stop. I specially loved mikes scares. Maybe the graphics are not perfect, but its fun to play.

Great!

I'm really sorry to the person who said this but they said:

[Quote]Now for the "but"....It is unfortunate that the creators of this game supposed that only little kids would be the ones who would be playing the game. Graphics are clunky and highly pixelated. This is definitely not the "eye candy" most of us are used to from our gaming systems any more. It may not be quite as bad as the old nintendo games were, but it's close. Just because the game is for youngsters doesn't mean the same care shouldn't be put into creating it, especially when it is riding on the "monster tails" of a wonderful and visualy stunning movie.[Quote]

Now this is pretty wrong to say it was almost as bad as nintendo graphics considering it is impossible to make even super nes flush out those visuals. The graphics are great and the little grey box does have a limit but still with no doubt kids will love the graphics, they are colourful cartoony and easy to follow.
The gameplay is great fun, it is mostly standard platforming but built up with little mini games and less jumping and all that stuff. The sound is good with hilarious voices and easy music. The controls are great and kids can use the joystick on the controller for a more easier and fluid way to play. Levels are huge which will take them a while to complete. Also everything else seems good enough to do the job.

It seems like the little grey box hasn't been booted just yet...With games like these coming out monthly it might have a few more years left in it....Who knows?

-GuS

Y'know...this ain't half-bad.

I'm not a big fan of platform games, but this one is quite enjoyable--the controls are easy to learn, the objectives are clear, and the puzzles are *just* hard enough to keep you trying until you succeed, but not so hard you fling your game controller across the room in frustration.

Filled with characters from the movie (though the voices sound like imitations, for the most part), and interspersed with actual film clips (in low resolution), this does a good job of feeling like the sort of training Mike and Sulley would have had to go through to become scarers--after all, there could be ANYTHING on the other side of that door.

Game control is spelled out clearly in a mandatory tutorial section (every new game starts with the tutorial, but you earn a couple extra lives for the effort), and the game responds well to commands. It's surprisingly replayable, especially if you have a 3-year-old at your elbow imitating Mike and Sulley, but the levels don't really feel like they were designed with the Gold-Silver-Bronze schema in mind: there's an all-or-nothing aspect to each level that seems to be geared on how many of the power-ups you've earned. In other words, you fight like mad to win the bronze medal on a level, then earn the power-up and go back and breeze your way to a silver and a gold almost effortlessly.

The sound work is good, but the graphics could have used some help--I've been playing this on a PS2, and flipping back and forth between this game and Jak and Daxter sharply illustrates the limitations of PSX games. The 3D movement capabilities of this game are almost PS2 quality (it's very rare that a camera angle--which you can control--makes you miss a move or lose a life), but the figures and backgrounds render very harshly.

A fun game, even if your 3-year-old wants to watch you play it for HOURS AND HOURS. It's also the only way you're going to get to see ANY of this movie on your home system before September.

(One caveat: if you haven't seen the movie, you might want to before you play this game. The 30-or-so minutes of movie clips (your rewards for completing tasks) include several from the final act of the movie. Yes, important clips that give away big plot resolutions. You have been warned.)

great game for young kids

... I don't regret buying it, my kids ages 8, 5, and 3 love the game. It is very easy to play and my kids are not big time gamers so it is the perfect game for them. It is also very fun for my 3 year old to watch. The controls are easy to learn and are explained very well. This game gets 5 stars with me.
