Description official description

War of the Monsters is a sci-fi melee fighting game. An alien race comes to earth and attacks the earth. Eventually the humans come up with a new technology to destroy the aliens, only to discover that strange liquid from the damaged UFO's stream into different areas, and create monsters to cause more damage to the Earth.

Single or two-player fighting modes are available. The game modes include "Adventure", "Free For all", "Endurance", "Elimination" and Mini-Games. Some modes are only for either one player or two player. The game has saving options after each level and you can load it later. In each battle there are health pick-ups, weapon pick-ups like cars, rubble and spears, energy pick-ups and special cubes. Each adventure mode battle awards tokens that can be used to purchase new monster costumes, new arenas and mini-games.

A fun clash up of imaginary Japanese Monsters

The Good
The game had some pretty fun elements. The game's story is great and all the monsters costumes to change to make them look either fiercer or funny(which to me can get a little not my type) And the arenas are large and it''s a little fun to watch how the monsters in a free for all mode attack when they start charging each other. The game does'nt seem to have this but it has a little anime flavor to Anime it.

The Bad
The monsters could however have a change in the body size, their bigger than the people but their pretty short and the monsters should have some more sound besides their roar.

The Bottom Line
Now the fact that this game has just as great fighting thins next to a classic. Its much better to look at.

Trivia

The fourth costume you unlock for Robo 47 is really a design from a classic 50's robot.
