War Of The Monsters is an all-out 3D action game where you get to beat up on everyone and everything around you -- you're a hundred-foot monster destroying cities to prove your supremacy! Multiple game modes, great graphics and a fun sci-fi story -- all that plus massive destruction as you try to win the War Of The Monsters!
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
Get ready to embody the soul of a 100-foot-tall monstrosity as you clash with opponents in thriving cities, run rampant through bustling streets, pulverize opponents with body slams, and fight off military defenses. War of the Monsters lets you relive your favorite monster movies with 10 different creatures engaging in all-out carnage. Ten fully interactive environments offer numerous weapons, including steel girders, radio antennas, moving vehicles, building rubble, army tanks, and more. Clobber opponents with thunderous uppercuts, hand-to-hand weapons, and destructive special attacks. Use huge hunks of debris as a shield, topple buildings onto your foes, or pick up and throw tanker trucks like toys. Take advantage of environmental attacks such as tidal waves and earthquakes to defeat your opponent and claim total domination. Skillfully scale towering buildings, wage war on rooftops, and bring them crashing down.
