gueeds2103 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Curious about this one. Would like to hear some impressions from people who have it since there is no demo currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDOLO1013 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i think its not very special... Â Well that doesn't clarify anything. Any details of gameplay or the control mechanics? I would love to pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueeds2103 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 I might just pick the game up anyways. However, with no demo, I am wary towards buggy/sluggish gameplay and repetitive missions. The framerate also looked a little choppy in some videos I've seen. The game seems right up my alley, but I would like to see what some other people think before I take the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodacat Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If you were interested in the game because of the trailer then you should absolutely pick it up. This is what a 3D Rampage game should have been. There are enough varieties of level layouts that it doesn't become repetitive anywhere near as quickly as Rampage does. Most of the monster parts have different stats, and because of different mission objectives it's worthwhile to build and modify a couple monsters (a quick one for races, a low health high damage bruiser for targeted destruction levels, etc.). I never noticed any slowdown in singleplayer, and although multiplayer is local only every mission can be played in co-op. Plus, it has custom soundtrack support (I don't have much experience with PS3 games, but this seems to be kind of uncommon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetShoJustice Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 sodacat, thank you for the informative and genuinely helpful post. Made it worth popping open this thread; unlike the useless one-liner up near the top that dismissed it without saying anything useful. I'm going to wait until I hear more but this looks like it could be an okay purchase. Will keep an eye out and report back if I find anything useful elsewhere on the internet regarding this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azsharra Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) It's a very quick game. The city playable area is small and you're only allowed 2:30 minutes to do as much destruction as possible. There is like only 4 or 5 different cities and you have various challenges such as destroying as much property as possible or eating as many people as possible.  Monster customization is ok, you have to get silver or gold medals to get more parts. But even when I have all the parts it feels like they could have added much more. There's like only ~15 head pieces and ~20 arm pieces and some chest/back/leg parts. There's a mix of robot and monster parts Your monster seems to have a constant health drain and loses more when attacking or being attacked thus forcing you to always eat people to refill your health. You have unlimited lives but the penalty for dying is having a few seconds on the clock subtracted. Which is annoying because you only get 2 minutes of game time to destroy. This game is great if you're fans of Rampage and Godzilla games or even my favorite, King of Monsters. It's great only because there is no other full 60 dollar game of this type. As a ten dollar game, you're going to get around 3-5 hours out of it. Edit: All trophies can be done solo. OCM and Megabucks looks hard but can be achieved with the time slip backpack to slow down the clock. Edited December 23, 2010 by Azsharra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueeds2103 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thanks for the input sodacat and Azsharra! After reading them though, I think I would get annoyed with constant health drain and only a few timed levels. I was hoping to be able to pretty much take my time and demolish everything in sight, but from the sounds of things it seems like they made it a chore. Appreciate the insight though and will keep an eye on this game further to see if I change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azsharra Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 This actually seems genius to me, a lot like the Lost Planet games with the thermal energy. You also forgot to mention one great game that came out last gen exclusively for the PS2, War of the Monsters. Well looks like I might pick this up with the discounted Deadliest Warrior game.  This game is basically all about challenges/missions and trying to earn gold medals on all of them. There is also a leader board for every mission. In a way it makes sense to have monster's health drain to make it challenging. What it is lacking is a large sandbox mode, where you're free to survive and roam around without the clock counting down. There is a survival challenge where you try to stay alive for 4 minutes but I would like to play longer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiskoBlue Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I picked this up last night, only £5 for PlaystationPlus members. It's good for a laugh. It'll probably get repetitive but so far I'm enjoying trying to beat the challenges and appreciate that they're not ALL destroy everything missions. The energy drain isn't really that big a deal, it's a game mechanic to make it challenging. The designs and look are cool. Being able to make your own distinctive monster is a nice touch. It's best selling point is that you can flick it on for 5 minutes and just have fun destroying stuff. The only thing it seems to be missing is a free play mode where you don't have to worry about time and energy draining. There are better games out there but not many you can pick up for a quick cheap fix like this one.

Ryukori Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It sounds interesting. I think I'll buy it. I like games with a "sandbox mode" because I like to roam around freely, especially if the game is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adas_2008 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 game is funny. might be even more with more players causing destruction. 6 or 7 story levels to beat with few challanges each. got half of the trophies only by playing the game. getting all gold and causing less than 50 000 damage in the race looks challenging or maybe there will be some special spot to get it.

Mc Pigeon Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I got this on Wensday when it came out and after abour 4 1-1 and a half hour play sessions I got the gold trophy for getting gold on all levels.It's much shorter than I expected,but it was still fun to play through.I hope it gets some dlc.

adas_2008 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 damn you must be good with getting all gold. i tried but finding this a bit hard. what about other trophies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeggaGFX Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 It really depends on how you like these kind of games or not. So far I have only been able to play it for a few hours but have a blast when I do play it. It is a great game for only $10. It is one you can turn on when you only have a half an hour to kill and want some mindless destruction. Its also a good 2 player game when you have a friend come over and need a little chuckle game to play. If you liked Rampage back in the day you will love this.

UndergroundHipHopHead Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 it's a fun game. though the multiplayer isn't ONLINE multiplayer like i had hoped. what a let down. the game is worth the five dollars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante_kinkade Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It is a fun little game that is not very long but still fun to play. A simple build a monster game and destroy the city along with a few different goals every few levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
