PS3 diagnosed with Monster Madness

EX edition of Southpeak Interactive's multiplayer cooperative shooter promises better controls, camera.

When Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia launched on the Xbox 360 and PC earlier this year, two major sore points for reviewers were the game's controls and camera. Those are just two aspects of the game Southpeak Interactive is looking to improve with its freshly announced version of the game for the PlayStation 3.

Set for release early next year, Monster Madness EX will bring the game to Sony's console with overhauled controls and a tweaked camera, as well as minigames and other "newly built-in extras." The game is being developed by Psyonix, a North Carolina-based studio that has previously worked on the PC shooter Red Orchestra, as well as Unreal Tournament 2004's Onslaught game type.

    Why dont you guys do one better and give Sony full exclusivity to this game. The sooner its far away from the 360 lineup the better.

    Yea i was hoping it was as fun as Zombies ate my Neighbors but MM was a let down. ZamN has better sound effects than MM and it's a SNES/Genesis game; how sad.

    Ha!
    This game got a 5.0, it's going to take more than camera tweaks and mini games to make this something people won't be sorry they bought.

    Wow...Monster Madness. The PS3 should send us "Lair" in revenge for this.

    PS3 owners be warned -- this game sucks!!!

  • pondarosa

    LOL - I don't know what's worse - the awful headline for this story or the game itself. God, even PS3 owners aren't desperate enough to play through this game.

    I had some high hopes for this game when it can out..I was hoping for a game like, "Zombie ate my Neighbors", but this game was bad...I rented through Gamefly and sent it back the next day....repulsive!!!

    I didn't like it when I played it on the 360 so I probably won't like it on the PS3 either. hmmm moving on

    I guess sales bombed on this game... So they are looking for some more people to suck their blood from. PS3 is in their cross hairs... Run!

  • Bgrngod

    Posted Sep 12, 2007 3:28 pm PT

    The controls are going to still suck on the PS3 version. They simply put out this press release to make everyone think they won't, that way they don't have to actually use resources to FIX anything.

    Crap game on both systems. Honestly this game should be used as a bashing point for being in either systems library.

    uh...why? I don't think you can make this game get a good rating no matter how much junk you throw extra into it...

  • FiestaUnicorn

    Posted Sep 12, 2007 3:15 pm PT

    Now all the PS3 needs is some Bomberman Act Zero and they will once again reign supreme!!!

    "overhauled controls" = sixaxis time! If they do that, the PS3 version is even more screwed, lol.

    We ask Sony for games and they give us......this?!?!? I thought Summer was over and the little kiddies were back in school? This will sell 4 copies, tops! It better retail for like $20. Thank you Sony, may we have another?

    I hope that this version BOMBS .... they completely screwed over the 360 crowd ... using us as a test bed basically and now are giving their ALL for the PS3 version. I will never buy a product from these devs or publishers again.

    As someone on these forums once said:

    "A turd is still a turd no matter how long you polish it."

    (and that is specifically in regards to the 360 version)

    Posted Sep 12, 2007 12:15 pm PT

    OMG, this was notably one of the worst rentals I've had in my lifetime. Plus, I returned it the next day (it was that bad) but they didn't get it checked in and blockbuster charged me full price for it. I'm in the middle of contesting the $60 charge against me. UGH!!! I really hate this game now.
