Amazon.co.uk Review
The idea of giant beasties stomping around major cities beating each other up and using tanks for boxing gloves is made digital reality in War of the Monsters More Power Stone than Tekken, the game doesn't feature tons of combos and moves but instead depends on the way you use the environment. Nearly everything--from fire engines to flagpoles--can be picked up and thrown or used as a cudgel and you can run around the large arenas as you will, climbing up buildings and hiding behind skyscrapers. Indeed, in many ways War of the Monsters feels more like a real (in the Hollywood sense of the word) fight than many a more serious beat-'em-up, since combatants often break off their attack to go and find a health power-up or an extra weapon rather than just standing two inches in front of each other for the entire length of the barney. Pretty much everything in the game works perfectly: the graphics are sharp and crisp, the environments and characters are varied and interesting and only the innate shallowness and odd split-screen two-player mode could possibly be considered drawbacks. --David Jenkins

 affectionate tribute to the old "monster movies." August 17, 2006

the kind of game where anything goes and so much the better.
a couple of the characters are obviously modelled on two of the most famous monsters in film history; namely king kong and godzilla. a great idea all the same.
there is a choice of several characters where the idea, is to beat the other in a good old-fashioned punch-up. you can go one on one or have a free for all. there are some good moves to perform as well as picking up various objects to use against your opponent; car, part of a building, a plane etc.
for me, there are two major bonuses; you can smash the buildings around you and also climb them. those moments really make it worthwhile.
the only slight drawback, is that the whole thing feels rather limited. enjoyable though.
the game has all the ingredients of a 50s sci-fi film, which suits it.
worth playing if you love games involving monsters.
Monster mayhem. May 26, 2006

Brilliant, brilliant brilliant.
Giant ape, Giant lizard, other giant wierdo monsters, smashing up buildings. Catching helicopters and throwing them and... most importantly, stomping on screaming hoardes of tiny people!!!

This game is a one of, a gem in all the monster fighting games. The graphics are extremely good and the game play is fast moving and exiting. There is a long gripping adventure mode and a free play mode where you can be any character you want. All the characters have two special attacks (short range and long range) and a variety of punches, kicks and tail whacks. One of the really good features is the fact there are so many things to unlock! New islands, new characters and mini games. If you like monster fighting games then this is an absolute must have!
'Rampage' all over again! (In 3D) November 30, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this game on the recommendation from the other reviews and boy was I glad I got it!
If you are old enough to remember Rampage on the spectrum ZX or C64 and loved it, then you will definitely love this game.
Hours of fun running around as big beasties hitting each other, everything which comes to hand - cars, planes, boats,trucks rubble, girders, boulders, water towers etc...
Also reminiscent of old skool monster horror flicks e.g. Godzilla, King Kong etc..
Great fun in single player mode, but even better get a friend and beat the hell out of each other.
Plus it's cheap, if you don't want to fork out 40 this christmas for a new game.
