I've had this game for about a week now....videogame crack.If you like Twisted Metal styled violence, this game is for you. Imagine running through NYC with a 100ft Kong knock off, Godzilla knock off, or any other B-movie staple, climbing buildings, leaping from roof top to roof top, chucking taxis and buses which explode on impact like grenades, knocking mofos through 3 or 4 buildings, impaling robots through the chest with giant needles, and causing tidal waves...all to cheesy, over dramatic 50s sci fi music. Combat system is mainly kicks and punches...you can prolly button mash a 5 hit combo, but there's enough depth to whip out 15 hitters with practice. Oddly enough, it doesnt feel like a fighter...more of brawler with linkable attacks and massive environments to wreck. One of the coolest parts of the game is the environmental interaction. ie on one level theres a UFO hovering overhead. If you take an object, say like a steel girder, and hurl it @ it, the UFO will fire a laser beam into the ocean causing a tidal wave that does damage. Had to make sure that I had a tall building to climb inorder to avoid the incoming water. The game is littered with these environmental goodies and virtually anything seen can be used as a weapon.1 Player is Good..vs another is GREAT. Incog may have made the first unofficial superhero engine for a console that works. Not very deep, but loads of fun. Give it a try. It really feels like the proper melding of Rampage and King of the Monsters but in 3D and much more interactive.

It's a fantastic game. I've had it for about a week and have put about an hour into it, but it was a pleasant surprise. Everything - the authentic movie-poster advertisements both in the game and in the manual, the stunning graphics, the overall speed and smoothness of the game... EVERYTHING is done right.
I even found it a little too hard, which is a GOOD sign; I'm sick of ripping through these games in just a few hours. Also really cool is in the one-player mode, there are new monsters (presumably these unlock at some point) and bosses every few stages.
Highly recommended. Hopefully I'll get some more time with this over the weekend!

I've had it for a week,good stuff.
Yes,it is harder than hell,almost NES hard.I almost threw my controller out the window a few times.You earn points by playing the game and can unlock a lot of stuff which is very cool.
I have a TMB save on my memory card and when I first loaded the game it was that I unlocked mecha sweet tooth.But I can't find him!Help? :D x_x

Is this a GC exclusive? I don't follow the new stuff, but this one caught my eye. I'd like to check it out, but I don't wanna buy a GC.

Sweet Tooth is the 4th skin of Agamo, IIRC (when you put the cursor on him, choose up or down to change the skins).
And yes, this game can be a royal pain in the ass. I've played through it on easy and the twin-Raptros airport level was a NIGHTMARE. Hardest level in the game , IMO.

I spent most of E3 playing this game. It got terrible reviews but I don't care I loved it.

Yep, and I saw a demo for it on PS2 running at EB tonight.. It looks REALLY good! Almost like a 3D version of Rampage, I might dare to say!

It's probably PS2-exclusive. Though it's not actually programmed BY Sony, it seems to be programmed by a Sony in-house team.
I think Incog is owned by Sony, so it's exclusive.
Great game.

This game IS tough.
Its funny cause when I fought these monsters in person they weren't nearly as tough.
Ok enough chit-chat......I'm needed
