Sony's War of the Monsters

[Despair]

I'll rent it. Then will see.

Is there an official thread for War of the Monsters? I can add "official" to topic title, if needed.

For my fellow Canadians: FutureShop is selling the game for $59.99 (equivalent to a $39.99 game in the US). Great to see that the majority, if not all, first-party Sony games are keeping at a lower price-point.

There is indeed a War of the Monsters thread. Use the "Search" function.

Personally, I think this game looks very interesting. I will be writing a review for this very website.

[Tragic]

I'm excited for it but between this, Panzer, Devil 2, DOAXBV, Xenosaga next month, and GBASP w/ Pokemon in March, I have a feeling I won't be getting around to WotM for a while.

War of the Monsters = PS2 Smash Bros. It's more of a party game than a serious brawler.

It definitely is a latter day King of the Monsters, although I'd have to say it plays better. Sending your opponent flying 100 yards is pretty cool, and the atmosphere is well done. Still, I don't even have Shinobi yet, so there are other things on my plate ahead of this puppy.

I look forward to seeing that review, Sleeveboy. I've yet to read a good review for the game.

All Sony games are $39.99 when they come out, it was announced months ago. The only game that didn't have that price-tag was SOCOMM, but that was because it came with the headset. I will get this game at full price, since $40 is well worth it for good party game action.

First of all, I'd recommend avoiding RAD at all costs. At the very least waiting until the price drops significantly. I bought that game for full price and it was one of the worst, most annoying, and most frustrating games I have bought in years. I posted a thread in the Reader Reviews section here at TNL for more info.

Anyway, as for WotM... I played the OPM demo and read the article. The graphics are nice. The concept is interesting. The gameplay was decent. I like the level of interaction with the levels.... but I don't think I'll be buying it. It just didn't grab me that much. I may reconsider in the distant future when the price drops to budget level though.

I played RAD at a GameStop and wanted to shoot my self. Took forever just to get into a battle, and then the battle it self was such poor control and perspective I just wanted to set the store on fire.
