Product Description ------------------- Based on the all-new movie from the creators of Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life, this game allows you to participate in the adventures of Boo, who has accidentally returned to Monstropolis, and Sulley, who must get her home safely. Unfortunately, the pesky Randall is aware of the situation and has shredded Boo's door in an attempt to stop them. Will you help Sulley get Boo home? You'll explore 10 huge levels of Monstropolis, including bonus minigames and puzzles. A random generator creates a different game every time. You can use Sulley's roar attack or the dreaded laugh launcher to avoid enemies and bosses. The intuitive control system includes an in-game display, so you always know where you are. .co.uk Review ------------- If you're into Monsters, Inc. you'll love this game, a colourful and child-friendly offering which brings the characters from the Pixar/Disney blockbuster to a PlayStation 2 near you. First things first: this is the same as the PSone game, though with enhanced graphics; the extra bang for your PS2 pound comes in the shape of DVD extras, such as movie clips and trailers, a "making of" feature and a slideshow of concept art for the film. The of the game is simple enough: progress through the levels by ing a set number of robotic children ("nerves") and collecting your standard platform currency--coins. The game itself is a movie tie-in, but not a game of the movie; the plot doesn't follow the film's at all, instead pursuing Mike and Sulley's training at the Monsters, Inc. e Academy. Each level is presented more as a puzzle rather than a story progression; clips from the movie are included in between levels, but they don't really bear any relevance to the action at your fingertips. The gameplay uses elements from C Bandicoot ( /exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=c%20bandicoot/${0} ), Banjo Kazooie and ro the Dragon ( /exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=ro%20dragon/${0} ): jump, spin, bounce--all your standard platform moves are here. However, this isn't a bad thing, as kids will love it. It's a fun, not overly complicated platformer, which does its job; if however you want an original gaming experience then maybe this isn't for you.--Laurent S Hall
