When Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia was released I thought my adolescent dreams of going to war with all that the fiery mouth of Hell has to offer would finally be realized. Sadly, it was not to be, with a troublesome camera system and controls that were more frustrating than fun it wasn't long before Monster Madness was retired to a dusty shelf.
In a rare bit of psuedo-luck, the Playstation 3 version of Monster Madness was delayed; and in their infinite wisdom Psyonix decided to release it as Monster Madness: EX, supposedly tightening controls, revamping camera angles, and adding new weapons, vehicles, and mini-games to the mix. Hopefully our psuedo-luck doesn't run out and the changes introduced by Psionix manage to make Monster Madness: EX as much fun as we know it should be.
It took these assholes months to release a patch to fix the 360 version, this version also promised to have online co-op which the 360 version did not have.
Online co-op would have really sold MM for the 360, a zombies ate my neighbors type game, 4 people just having a blast, tell me that wouldn't be fun, but NOOOOOOOOOOO, you a horrible deathmatch type and you'll like it.
Fuck these guys, I urge people to not support them at all.
And those who got the PC version off MM? SOL, no patch for them.
I tried this on the 360 and thought it was garbage. I really wanted to like it but couldn't overlook it's flaws. I don't think they've done enough for me to warrant the game a second look on my PS3.
I LOVE Zombies Ate My Neighbors, so I was excited for this game. But, when I played it I was pissed. The game played like crap.
Well, I heard about the patch that reworked the control and I picked the game up for $9 at Circuit City a few weeks ago. It's significantly improved and surprisingly fun after you download the patch. Is this an excuse for the original game? No. Will the PS3 version be worth $60? No. Should you give the 360 version a try for $9? yes.
Despite the controls and camera, the game was terrible. I appreciate the multiple system love, but how about we just say that was a failure and start making a new game that doesn't suck.
