Simplistic but charming. The King of Monsters/Rampage of recent times.

If you play this game alone, you'll be sorely disappointed. The challenge level is "easy" at best. The only caveat is that, at times, the challenge goes from very easy to "WTF?" If you get the hang of the AI cheese, you can easily counter. I found that fighting Mech Godzilla was more tedious than challenging.

This guilty pleasure really shines through when you play multiplayer. Four-way battles can be quite chaotic and fun. The game took me back to the Genesis/SNES day playing King of the Monsters. Good times there but not exactly immersive, deep gameplay.

For the most part, this is a button masher's dream come true but there are some moves that are somewhat of a secret. Once you find them out, you have a strategic advantage. The environmental effects and destruction is fun. Again, it feels like Rampage and King of the Monsters.

I can see why the game got bad reviews. There are definitely signs of lazy development. Just when the game shows promise, it falls short. A little more planning and this could have been a real diamond in the rough. Whatever the case may be, this is a good bargain bin pick-up. A fun party game, really...
