Psh, gamespot. You guys and your reviews will never cease to amaze me
Audo/Visual-8. The visuals in Monster Madness are not "Amazing". Thats for sure. But, they surely aren't terrible either. The artwork of some of the monsters are well done and cleverly made. There is a charming comic book style in the cutscene, which I applaud Southpeak for. I give them a 7 for Visual content. The Audio content in Monster Madness is extremely well done and cleverly thought of. In the middle of a battle, the characters will talk to themselves and say some really funny things some times. I give a 9 for Audio. The scores average out to an 8.
Gameplay-7. ZOMBIES HAVE EATEN MY NEIGHBORS! The story starts out with 4 teenagers, who are the main characters. Theres Zack, the WoW nerd, Andy, the laid back man, Carrie, the goth girl, and Jennifer, the whore. These 4 kids are attacked by an onslaught of monsters and realize that the whole town is filled with monsters! The 4 kids must end this monster madness! The story takes you through 18 exotic levels, including a junkyard, Huggles toy store, a highschool, and a spooky castle. There are at least 100 exotic monsters that you meet along the way, whose entries are unlocked in a database of monsters called the beastiary once they are slain. You may also find weapon parts during your adventure that you may use to turn into weapons. So it's 100% oldschool. However, the game is FILLED with glitches that have gotten many of us angry. Is every second a glitch? No. But there are a good number of glitches in the end product that do get on ones nerves. Overall Score- 7
Multiplayer Content- 8. The story Can be played with a maximum of 4 players, which makes for a large number of monsters about to get their face beaten in. However, the birds eye view camera makes the multiplayer lose 2 points. I would prefer for it to be split screen- over the shoulder at some parts, and birds eye view for others. But the multiplayer can still be done. Xbox live was well done. It needs a few more maps but the large amount of game types makes for hours of fun.
Overall Funfactor-8. I really like this game. The characters are amazing and I love to just hear them talk. Xbox live is addicting. Story is loads of fun. Good job guys.
