Monster Force's largest shortcoming seems to be occasionally repetitive gameplay. Those that can look past that, as well as the game's outward juvenile appearance, should find a solid title with fantastic presentation.
-
Classic monsters and load of pumpkins can't make up for repetitive gaming action.
-
Fun and easy to learn, Monster Force is a top-down shooter with style.

Nintendo PowerThe noteworthy music is superb, and the game's fun factor, graphics, presentation, controls and multiplayer mode are just as good. [June 2002, p.152]

That "sputtering" run is downright irritating, and the locked-down camera gives off a feeling of claustrophobia since you honestly can't see more than six feet in any direction.
