Power Stone than
Tekken, the game doesn't feature tons of combos and moves but instead depends on the way you use the environment. Nearly everything--from fire engines to flagpoles--can be picked up and thrown or used as a cudgel and you can run around the large arenas as you will, climbing up buildings and hiding behind skyscrapers.
Indeed, in many ways War of the Monsters feels more like a real (in the Hollywood sense of the word) fight than many a more serious beat-'em-up, since combatants often break off their attack to go and find a health power-up or an extra weapon rather than just standing two inches in front of each other for the entire length of the barney.
Pretty much everything in the game works perfectly: the graphics are sharp and crisp, the environments and characters are varied and interesting and only the innate shallowness and odd split-screen two-player mode could possibly be considered drawbacks. --David Jenkins
