    Uma A very unusual fight and what drew the most attention was the destruction of the buildings in a very realistic way, only the size of the dolls left something to be desired because it was very small compared to the proposal of game

    The best graphics ps2 had to offer! Everything is there for combat,story,multiplayer,secrets,aesthetics,minigames,all unlockable skins without paid dlc,nice bonus if you had twisted metal installed which back then was an unheard of genius mechanic using the save data of a different game for a reward bonus monsters to play the token mechanics is creative and the bosses are unique andThe best graphics ps2 had to offer!

    War of the Monsters is an underrated PS2 gem it has great controls and great gameplay. Although it has its problems as if you decide to play the adventure mode as any character it will be the exact same story and the split screen can be weird to get used to it. But if you can put up with that you will have a great time

    One of the best PS2-Games ever, there is a PS3-Version too. Best experience is the local Multiplayer-Mode.

    I think this is a great ps2 game, now on ps4
    its a great fighting game with monsters which is cool because you are huge compared to everything else and i never experienced that until now. Because you are so large you can shoot your opponent but you can also shoot down helicopters that are flying around which is a great touch. another great thing about this game is that you can use cars    I think this is a great ps2 game, now on ps4

    Simply the best monster fighting game with destructible environments. Many imitations were released, including several with Godzilla branding, but nothing ever came close to the magic of War of the Monsters. You have had the rest now try the best. WOULD BUY HD REBOOT.

    I award this the most underrated (or under the radar) game on the PS2. I've owned it for a few years now and every time I put it in I am amazed at how good it is. One of the very few games that I've bothered beating multiple times with every character, 1. to get all the alternate costumes, and 2. because it is so much fun.

    This game is quite fun and is very creative. The graphics are okay but could have been better. Anyway, this game needed more um, hazam if you know what i mean. I mean like bashing people with pillars, impaling people with harpoon sharp objects and plain beating the hell out of each other just needs more meaning if you can understand. This game deserved an 8...

    Awesome 2 player mode which is so fun that i had the demo and bought the full version because of it but not a very good one player storyline u can snap people or get snapped would recommend it for people who have seen and enjoyed godzilla or king kong.

    It's a really great game great graphics, and sounds of the monsters I love attacks of the monsters the way they fight, like savages. But anyway.... it takes to lone to kill the bosses I really think you could do better than that.

    Great button masher, but lacks character variety, also needs more unlocks.

    I am simply amazed at how cowardly these creatures become when close to death.

    As dee-lish as all the camp and nostalgia is, it's also very reminiscent of the source material; pretty, stylish, but ultimately rather vapid when it comes to depth.

    The battles themselves are chaotically free-for-all, allowing up to four monsters to grapple hand-to-hand and even rip up handy lampposts, buildings, and cars to bludgeon enemies.
