 Gaming with her January 30, 2010
Robert G. Watson
I got to this game at a time I was looking for something I could play with my girlfriend, as she isn't fond of shooters. The demo alone was loads of fun, best of all, the loved it!
So I went for the full game. Colourful graphs, more funny home-grown weapons (which can be upgraded) and lots of action killing (?) the undead. It's a pretty straightforward game which was worth every penny when my girlfriend, who doesn't like gaming, asking 'so, are we playing Monster Madness today!?'.
Sadly, the game looses interest once you've finished it once, despite the side games (which are independent from the main one).
 Deceptively enjoyable September 12, 2009

I tried the demo of this game, and fell in love with it. I bought it for a great price (10 dollars plus shipping). It has a fun, classic feel to the game play, and even though it may be more "kiddie-centric", it really has some gameplay value for older players (I'm 35!). On top of that, it has 4 player simultaneous mode! Too many games nowadays are lacking this type of feature. For parents, it's a great game to play with the kids. And it has plenty of upgradeable stuff and little tidbits to keep adults interested too (see if you can pick out all of the old monster movie cliches ;) ).
More than I expected. September 8, 2009

The reasons why I bought the game were because 4 people could play and that it was under $20.00. I thought it would be a monster killing, zombie bashing game that wouldn't take more than a couple of hours to finish.
Boy was I wrong.
It is in fact a monster killing, zombie bashing game. However, it took us (2 players) 8-9 hours of continuous play in order to finish it.
The story is akin to those of zombie movies: The evil undead arise and a rag-tag team of teenagers are amongst the few who can fight against them. As the game advances, other type of monsters appear. Aliens, werewolves, demons and B movies cannon fodder.
There are cutscenes between missions, which help the story advance and at least let you know why you're actually walking into the wolve's den.
Gameplay is simple. You choose a character and proceed to kick evil butt in isometric view. Each character has a "reccomended" melee weapon hidden in each scene. If you get on that isn't suited to your character, he/she complaints and attacks slower with it. You can also buy and upgrade other "home made" weapons, like nail guns, flame-throwers and CD Launchers. They use ammo though, and you'll have to buy that too with crystals left by monsters when they are destroyed.
There are scenes in which you can ride a tank, buggy or hovercraft. Some have some kind of weapon, like a cannon or a machine gun. Others will just be used for transportation.
There are also in-game achievements. For example, if you find the weapon for a character during a mission, you'll discover a new suit/disguise for that character.
One of the downsides of the game (from my POV) is that the main characters are practically immortal. What happens after losing 3 lives is that you drop some of the crystals used to upgrade weapons/buy ammo and start again exactly where you died (I think you can choose another character, but I could be wrong).
There's also a versus option, in which you can just whack other players. It's not Super Smash Bros, but it is rewarding being able to deal with a human opponent using a nail gun.
All in all, it's not a bad game for $20.00 or less.

Worth $[...] to kill some time with multi-player playability. Simple to learn
Worth only $[...] if just trying to enjoy the game by oneself.
Good Choice for a 4 PLAYER PS3 Party Game September 8, 2008
John C. (California)
Monster Madness: Grave Danger is an excellent choice for multiple players. It's kind of a top-down, fly-behind, 3 person, shooter & masher for 4 PLAYERS at once -on the same screen. None of that nauseating split screen nonesence that cut your screen realestate in half. A lot like Gauntlet.
If you're like me -it's difficult finding a "Party Game" for the PS3. A Party Game being a game that multiple people can play and have fun at the same time. There's Rock Band (which is awsome), and then the rest are mostly fighting games for two players.
Parents may think twice about letting little ones play this because it's a zombie-shooter with cartoonish gore. The gore however is minimal and the game is tounge in cheek cartoony.
As a single player game, i say 3 outta 5. It's fun, but more fun with friends.
