Customer Reviews

Bought Used
Like this title suggests, I bought this game used. Which I'm glad I didn't pay full price for, because it would be a rip off.

If you want a cheap game multiplayer game to waste some time between good game releases, then this is a game for you. You can play co-op with up to 4 people online as well.

Levels get very repetitive. Easier setting is no fun with limited fun items. The catch is you have to play harder settings for the chance to find find items like amulets that change you into monsters. But the hard setting is no fun either, you're constantly looking for ammo and health.

Another thing that sucks is you can't save when you want and can only do so at save points.

Finally one thing that irked me tremendously: If you accidentally exit a game, not only do you lose your current progress, but your ENTIRE GAME PROGRESS. It happened to us, and lost everything. The game was basically reset. We just past the second level, so it could have been worse.

Great FUN!
After seeing the bad reviews that were posted about this game I figured I needed to post one that was more accurate!

We have had this game for several months, and we have had a blast playing it. It was a CHALLENGING game which some games just are not. I have read the other reviews on it and am disappointed others did not have as much fun with it as we did. We mainly played on multiplayer co-op because I am not very good at video games, and needed my husbands help quite frankly. Which now I am able to play it by myself since I have gotten better at video games period. I am much better at the arcade styles, like Tetris and things like that. SO for me to be able to play this game and enjoy it, and the other people who probably play ALOT of video games confuses me. I agree that some of the screen shots are hard, because you don't play in split screen like most when you do 2 player. Its one screen, so you just have to work WITH the other player to make sure that the screen is to the best of both of your advantages. Also, I admit that some of the controls for the vehicles were difficult, but its not anything someone cannot get used to. Come on if I can do it, an avid xbox player should have no problems. I think that if the controls were boring like a normal game it would have made this game less challenging and less fun.
I also seen a comment on how the game saves. There are alot of games that do not save unless you pass the level, which is how this one is. You reach a few checkpoints on the level, so that way if you die you return to that checkpoint and not have to start all over, but if you quit at a checkpoint, with the level unfinished, yes you have to start all over on that level.
There are a few glitches on the game, but nothing major that we haven't been able to handleand get passed. I have seen quite a few games with glitches why shouldn't this one be different?

OVERALL, we love this game and have a GREAT time playing it. If it weren't for the few minimal glitches I would have rated it 5 stars!
Its not perfect but it is fun!
We have almost completed the game, we have made it to the last level. And we are looking forward to another Monster Madness coming out!

I EXPECTED MORE FROM A ZOMBIE GAME 6.25 OUT OF 10
I was very disappointed in Monster Madness. I thought it was going to be a combination of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Dead Rising, and Resident Evil, unfortunately the sad truth comes in to place once you start playing the game. It has an overabundance of weapons, vehicles, characters, zombies, and destruction which should make it good, but it comes up short most of the time when comparing it to its great zombie predecessors. For instance, the controls can be agonizingly bad during certain gaming sequences like driving. The basic movements work fine most of the time, but the camera is a hassle during times when you're killing zombies. The graphics claim to use the power of Unreal Engine 3 which powered the awesome Gears of War, but it looks freaking awful on this game to the point of where it looks like a muddy old Xbox or Playstation 2 game. I had many hopes for this game, but it came up short and I was left disappointed and somewhat agitated. Just go buy Dead Rising instead for your 360, you'll be much happier.
