Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between Godzilla and King Kong? Of course not, the giant, agile monkey could run circles around that lumbering lizard. But who would win in a fight between generic knock-offs? That is the question War of the Monsters seeks to answer.

This is the direction I would like to see fighting games take–no more plodding, one-on-one battles. I’ve been doing that for 15 years! I want huge environments, destructible buildings and monsters. Lots and lots of monsters.

WotM was not a great game, but the concept was so fantastic it was easy to look past the shallow combat and cumbersome controls. Gamers are hungry for games that simply cannot be done in the real world. I’ve always said, the more over the top the better.

Until Sony gives us the battle of an online, 16 player sequel, we’ll have to stick with the smash-tastic original. And we’ll smile while we wait.
