War of the Monsters Specifications

At first look, it’s easy to get excited about War of the Monsters–it has colossal mutated beasts fighting each other in various dreary cityscapes, and it’s all wrapped in the campy confines of ’50s sci-fi and horror flicks. But after a few go-rounds, the game’s frustrating controls and limited replay value may leave you feeling flat.

As the game’s background story goes, the monsters were spawned from radiation spilled from downed UFOs that were thwarted in their plans to take over Earth. Cities everywhere are now powerless to stop the rampaging savages, which include a King Kong rip-off named Congar and the Godzilla-inspired Togera, to name just two. The game is all about the thrill of bashing the other guy senseless in an unrelenting rampage that would leave city planners everywhere quivering in fear. The fighting is fierce and brutal–monsters are sent hurtling through the air with a variety of multi-hit combos; entire buildings are crumbled by either throwing your opponent into them or by an errant punch; cars, buses, radio antennae, steel pipes, and other objects are picked up and thrust into monster flesh. One can even hear the sound of tiny human bodies being squished underfoot.

Unfortunately, War of the Monsters seems to have a mind of its own at times since monsters are inexplicably difficult to control. Things are swell one moment as you’re zeroing in for the kill but the next you’re swaying side to side like a punch-drunk fool. The controls are frustratingly unresponsive when your monster gets stuck in a corner or pinned against a wall. And be prepared to hit the reset button several times, as the game tends to freeze quite often when paused. –Larry White

Pros:

• Satisfyingly brutal fighting action
• Well-done look and feel

Cons:

• Unresponsive controls
• Limited replay value
• Fights devolve into button-mashing frenzy

War of the Monsters CustomerReview

War of the Monsters is amazing but it lacks a few features that would make it even more amazing. I have beaten the Story mode several times over to unlock several characters and costumes. It is very similar to Super Smash Bros and having the giant monsters fighting is great. I felt that the game was a parody of the Giant Monster movie genre but its more of a tribute to it.

A few features that are lacking are the story mode and the menus. When you go through the story its the same Adventure over and over for each character. It would be cool to have some sort of character specific adventures but the gameplay is so good that it makes up for it. The main menu is something that is easy to use but was very simple and when you unlock the origin cutscenes of several monsters the only way to see them over again is to fight through story mode again to see them.

Overall the game is a must for any Hardcore gamer and a must for anyone who likes Smash Bros.
