War of the Monsters

[tojoro]

A sleeper hit that still tends to resonate with fans. It somewhat became the "Jan Brady" between Twisted Metal: Black and God of War.
I'm still baffled as to why this didn't sell more, not even enough to become part of PS2's Greatest Hits titles. I sometimes wonder if they hadn't used the cover art for the Japanese release instead of what the rest of the world got, would it have fared any better?
Sure, it isn't the best fighting game out there, and it does turn into a button-mash fest, but it's awesome to look at, the music is great and, most importantly, it's fun to play!
Sadly, the folks at Incog seemed to leave it for dead, even though it got high ratings and a lot of coverage from the Official US Playstation magazine, as well as PSM. I was hoping Incog would have at least issued a game guide...the game didn't necessarily require one, but it would have been neat to have the movie posters that are shown when the levels are loading and ditto for all of the kick-ass concept art that is shown at the end during the credit-crawl when you beat the game.
For the past couple of years, I had been gathering stuff together to make a home made version of a game guide for myself. What can I say? I was a child of the 70's I spent Saturday afternoons watching Creature Double Feature, reading Famous Monsters magazine and building the Aurora model kits, so when I heard about this game, I knew it was right up my alley
Recently, I came across a wikia page someone created for the game...it was pretty bare bones, so I beefed it up with all of the material I had collected. A guy who ran a fan site for the game some years back had sent me a lot of high-quality images that he still had, though he didn't have everything.
I'd love to find the rest an d was wondering if anyone could help? I've gone through google images many times, I've written Incog when they were still around, as well as Eat, Sleep Play and Lightbox, with no reply at all.
Some have mentioned being able to access image files by putting the game disc into your PC's drive. Either my knowledge or my PC is inferior, or it's a myth.
Some folks who have a lot of know-how say emulation would provide good-quality images, but that language is above me, as well as the capabilities of my PC.
I realize I am new here...I'm not a massive gamer, (I have yet to move on to PS3), and my knowledge is limited, but this is something I've been chasing since shortly after this game was released, so, nearly nine years.

I'm somehow looking to find great quality images of the following from the Drive-In screen:
The image and logo for Zorgulon.
The logo for Raptros.
Level pics of Gambler's Gulch, Century Airfield, UFO, Capitol, Mini Baytown & Volcano.
(I uploaded grainy, inferior versions of these that I got from the game's official site before it was taken down.)

From the level load screen:
Revenge of Togera, Outpost X, It Came From The Skies, Terror From Space, Cerebulon: Destroyer of Worlds.

The rest would have to come from the game, but some images of the Bosses:
Vegon with all three heads.
Goliath-Prime hurling grenades, doing the prop-charge, the spin attack.
Cerebulon in his mech-suit, his pressure suit and his true form.
(I scanned pics of the bosses from the aforementioned magazines, but the end results don't look so great.)

If you want to send them my way via zip-file, that'd be fine, but to save time for yourself, you could just upload them to the wikia page if you wish. I'm sure all of those who visit the page would really appreciate it. Myself included.
Thank you all kindly for your time and help.

I would have loved that game (every Godzilla flick + bootlegs is on my bookshelf right now), but it played like hot garbage. Super bummer!

Good luck anyway!

Sorry dude, dragging my feet on this. Found my copy, will get at you over the weekend - email me?

I loved the hell out of this game when it came out. Lots of fun multiplayer. Would have loved to play a 4-player sequel.

The single player campaign was really tough, though. The AI was a little too good at abusing the radio antenna stun trick.

Don't do this.

Thanks D, glad you found your copy...email sent
Sleeve, I agree on both points, I'd have loved a sequel, especially with multiplayer, and the AI excelled at the impale opportunities!
OK, then...how 'bout this then, dog$?
