War of the Monsters (PlayStation 2, 2003)

This fighting game is not like other fighting games. So, don't think it is a side scroller. More like a great classic beat'em up fighter. this has solid graphics, gameplay is fun/easy learning controls, and the monsters are very cool and creative.

King Kong is juat a name that would immediately pop into your mind when you see the characters. Congar is your King Kong. He could be said that he is very balanced ground based, but one combo loving, hard hitting monkey. Then add to the fray of moves the long and short specials. Grab an object and pound it into the head of your enemy, skewer yor enemies with radio towers, and flag poles. Throw it, steal it in air, grab opponents, and kick butt are all easy learning controls.

The creativity of the moves, and how you can stomp on people and blast buildings apart are very cool.Then you have the Energy and Health pick ups. The taunt-then-have-extra-power-until-your-energy-runs-out is very cool. The special attacks that you can use is nice and effective(Congar's Scream goes through walls/buildings). Then the enemy AI is very well-put and adjustable.

Pro's- Original/New looking characters you can name from movies
Simple yet effective control scheme.
AI is splendid.
If it looks destructible, it most likely is.
Ending movies make sense to the monster creation.

Con's- When you put AI difficulty up, be prepared immediately!!
Mini-games hard to grasp at first.

This rare game is tons of fun! I played 1 disc till it died, so I had to get another copy. This game is a full 3d version of Rampage and so much MORE. If you would like to destroy some of Vegas(sounds fun doesn't it), try this BAD BOY out. If you do not like it I am always looking for more copies!!!!

The completely destructable environments, great monster choices, (Rhodan, Godzilla, King Kong without them being Rhodan, Godzilla, King Kong) and fast gameplay make this a top game. The only things that kind of limit the game are the small environments, the action is too "fast" making the game feel like it isn't as epic as it could be. More military interaction with damage possibilities would have been nice, too.

But if you want a beat 'em up party game, you need to look no further. My nieces and nephews still get a kick out of the game, and I have had it for 3 years. It is unfortunate that they never came out with a sequel to this game. I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

I purchased this game for my husband. And I can't seem to get him off of it. There are many options for the many monsters. And the many different modes and cities are more than enough to keep yourself occupied. Although it was a little on the high priced side. Other than that I recomend it for any one who likes monsters or fighting games.

Seven year old son and his best friend are wild about this game! They really enjoy playing the part of the monster! My son learned the game rather quickly as well. Hours of entertainment,

The game is one of the best for the PS2. Graphics are a good quality, and gameplay is fun. You (playing one of the eight monsters) get to beet the tar out of other monsters, and gain special power up that enable you to perform special attacks. It's a wonderful multiplaying game, though I do wish it could allow more than two players.

Overall, it is definitely a game you'll have fun with.

I decided to buy this game because i had rented it in the past and spent many hours playing it. It's a fun game to be the monsters and down around your feet are tiny little people that leave a blood splatter when you step on them. I would recommend people to try it out and find out if they are in to it too.

The kids and I play these games together when I have extra time. However, the games are mostly for their enjoyment! War of the Monsters is fun if you like hunting, capturing and/or shooting. You get to select characters, attacks and weapons as power ups! And of course there is upgrades to be won! We collect Playstation games, so of course this was another purchase for that as well! PS2 still rocks at our house and will for years to come!

great game, the kids love it. play it for hours. it's the old video game "rampage" meets king kong and godzilla.

I bought this for my sons,11 and 9 years of age.They played it first at a friends home and really liked it.It was not too violent in the sense that you shoot and kill animals or people.You shoot bad guys that are monsters.The boys get a kick out of that and compete with one another for higher points. It is very colorful, exciting and makes them giggle. They love this game!

I Love This Game. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and its a great buy. The gameplay is marvelous the weaponry and fighting maneuvers are superb, and it a great game to play with friends. The only thing i can say i dislike about this game is that the adventure mode is kind of short but besides that, the game is awesome

War of the Monsters is a great game. It is very much like an updated version of the old arcade game Rampage. There is a mission mode, which is ok, and theres a 2 player mode, which is awesome. You can select from a number of large monsters and fight in a city. The cities are completely interactive. You can pick up cars and throw them and you can climb and destroy buildings until the entire city is leveled. The more missions you play, the more levels and characters you can unlock. You can also unlock several minigames, which can be pretty entertaining. 2 player mode has a split screen, but when the 2 players get close to each other, the screen changes to a single screen. Many times this transition can cause slight disorientation and force you to change the direction you are trying to go on the controller. This is probably the worst part about the control of the game. But overall it is a very good game. Even after you have unlocked everything it is still fun to play in 2 player mode for hours.

I bought this game for my son because my husband had a preview disc that had a short version of this game on it. My son played it all the time and loved it. So now that we have the full version my son is extremely happy. The game has different worlds and monsters to play and this keeps it interesting for him.

I purhased this title for it's multi player options along with the facts that you can unlock different characters along with variation costumes extra levels and to top it off you can also use the enviroment to your advantage. Such as destroying a building picking up a chunk of concrete and hurling at your foe or using it as a shield among other things. Plus this title is no longer available in stores. Hard to find. Still it is possible to complete this game rather quickly, which can be a problem. However if a person can play a videogame more than once than they should enjoy this.

great game, different style than other fighting games because you have whole cities to brawl in.
pick up all kinds of debris, vehicles etc. and beat the hell out of your oppent or just roam around until you find that very special fuel truck, or whatever you need to blow up, electricute, or impale your opponent.
i just wish it was more than 2 player and had a couple extra boards

This game is perfect if you like giant monsters that duke it out amongst different terrains. However if you are looking for a plot and more then an hours worth of play, keep looking. The graphics are on par with the system and the controls are decent, sometime I felt as if I was fighting with the controller to get my behemoth to move correctly. In my personal opinion there are much better games to spend $20 on.

I love this game! The monsters have multiple costumes you can buy in the game and the multiplayer gameplay is very good. I played it a few years ago, loved it, now i own it! Awesome Game!

It's a great game, a world of destroying city monsters (up to 4players) fightin to the death! An overall classic title for the PS2.

Because I like this kind of games!!!
and good prices and further informations
I´d like a quickly delivery.

Thank´s

I couldn't find War of the Monsters PS2 around my area (it's a fairly rare game), so I hit eBay for the first time. I found this seller and it said mint, so I viewed it. It was quite cheap for mint condition, so I gave it a try. It arrived quickly after transaction and was in perfect condition just as the seller said it would be. I am completely satisfied with the item and give this seller a 5/5 in all categories.

first off let me say, I've went threw 6 or 7 ps2's since they first came out(Have a habit of pawning things from time to time) and every time I re-bought the system I've re-bought this game, It's like 3D rampage on steroids, everything in the levels is destroyable and most everything can be a weapon, between you and me pick Congar (THE APE) and find the blue backed gas trucks pick them up and throw them, they blow up good off an enemy's head, but first find an antenna tower(They're easy to find they're everywhere and pointy) and lock on with the two top L & R buttons and throw it into someone impaling them it makes them temporarily defenseless to attack and hurts them so much more :) fill up on energy and do super moves,the game is full screen mode when your far apart but split screen when you and another player are up close (It's really Cool) You can climb or even fly if you pick the right character,there are level hazards if ya figure them out, bay towns level hazard is if you smash pretty much everything entirely the ground will crumble away from the middle of the playing area and if you knock someone down the hole or fall down yourself it means death for you or them :p In the transformers looking guys level you can cause a tsunami by throwing something at the moon, I think you might have to wait to see the UFO come by first but I can't remember that one that well I mostly pick bay town in multi-player myself, there was even a scene in "The Girl Next Store" when the main characters were playing this game for a bit :) This Game RULES!!! rip 'er up & enjoy!!!

My 9 year old son had an introduction game with small samples of different PS games. He could play with just 2 characters in War of the Monsters. He could see that if he purchased the full game, he could unlock the other cool looking monsters! He was dying to get the full-version game. I am very happy with the game, no bad language, sexual themes etc. just plain old monster war fun!
