  5.0

  Monster Madness: Grave Danger needed to be a big improvement over the original game if it was going to compete with the PS3's best titles, but it's not. It plays better than the Xbox 360 version, but the core game is essentially what it was. Monster Madness is best played with three friends, but even then it's a very disappointing use of what was an entertaining premise. Save your money for the bigger titles coming over the busy months ahead.

  However, these improvements aren't enough to actually make the game worth your time, and those who have played the original game will be puzzled at some of the omissions and awkward design choices in this version. Taken entirely on its own terms, Monster Madness: Grave Danger is an extremely repetitive, frequently tedious game that feels less like a nostalgic throwback to classic top-down arcade shooters and more like an exercise in dated gameplay styles that would have been better left in the past.

  If you're completely set on snagging a copy of Monster Madness, Grave Danger is the way to go and having it sell for around 40 dollars is reasonable. But once you get your hands on the game, you'll find that it feels cheap and doesn't provide you with satisfying combat, which is what hack and slash titles are all about. If you're looking for zombie entertainment, I'd probably look elsewhere.

  Monster Madness: Grave Danger for the PS3 is an improvement over Battle for Suburbia for the 360. Unfortunately, there's not enough to make it that much better, and the overall tired concept and stale gameplay is simply not much fun. There are enough hidden goodies, online modes, and mini-games to help the replay value, but I think most gamers will find this title to be an unsophisticated and disappointing experience.

  Monster Madness es un sencillo arcade mata-monstruos de toda la vida; frenético, de acción continua y con un humor negro muy acertado. Técnica y visualmente el resultado es igual de sencillo, y aunque jugablemente el título es bastante repetitivo, su completo modo multijugador, que permite cuatro jugadores incluso en la misma consola, y sus desafíos en forma de minijuegos exclusivos de PS3, hacen de él un título correcto y entretenido en líneas generales.
