It's incredibly satisfying, regardless of your gaming abilities [thanks to huge explosions], and it's so well designed that the control system becomes transparent after spending very little time with it. [Jan 2003, p.118]
It may not be the best value for your bucks unless you have a regular opponent to play with, but fans of the theme need not hesitate.

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 and something never been touched upon for bosses 10/10 best game imo.

What War of the Monsters lacks in story depth, it more than makes up for in presentation. One thing that the designers really took to heart was the B-movie atmosphere.
If this game were to have some sort of co-op mode of play or four-player multiplayer mode, it would have been great.
I defy anyone, whether they care about big monsters or not, to pick this game up and not experience two things. First, they'll develop rudimentary skills within about a minute or two of play, and second, they'll have an enormous amount of fun. [Feb 2003, p.142]
Suffers from a developmental imbalance between the excellent mechanics and the actual gameplay. The best example of this is illustrated by the difference between the superb two-player and the grating single player experiences.
Fights soon degenerate into a short-range melee where you slug it out with blows and the occasional throw move. There is no balance, and button-bashers will feel right at home as you soon realise there is little room for tactics or skill.
War of the monster is best ps2 game, It has 10 playable monsters and 3 unplayabe monsters like goliath-prime, a mega robot who fight for humans, vegon a plant boss monster, and cerebulon, the game's villain, get war of the monsters for ps2.

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.

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 for weapons to throw which is funny. the only issue i have is the split screen

Summary The most surprising game at 2002's E3 finds you as a giant beast on a rampage of destruction through various cities while beating the pulp out of other mythical creatures along the way.
