Play Monster Arena all monsters unlocked

By Fran Mirabella III

In the increasingly popular videogame industry publishers are fighting to get the most popular movie licenses, which in turn will help them sell a product. Sometimes it's a good idea, and sometimes it's simply just a front to turn an otherwise frail gameplay idea into something sellable. So, it comes as no surprise that from THQ is nothing more than basic dodgeball - the kind you used to play in the schoolyard - in a shiny Disney/Pixar package. It's clearly aimed at a very young audience, but the sheer simplicity and mindlessness of it is unforgivable. This is not a game for Disney fans, kids, or anyone. In fact, it's barely a game at all.

Features

• Play dodgeball in seven different arenas inspired from the movie
• Six different gameplay styles
• Choose from 13 different characters from the feature film
• Unlock scenes from the movie as you open up new arenas
• Multiple ball types have varying attributes
• Four-player support
• Jazzy soundtrack inspired by the movie

Gameplay
If you've seen the movie, you'll know that the monsters of Monsters, Inc. have had to come up with another source of power for their worlds - something other than screams, shrills, and shrieks. For the purpose of the Radical Entertainment developed GameCube title, it turns out entertaining kids with dogeball is the way to do it. With that idea in hand, Monsters, Inc. Scream Arena was created. It's an entire game based solely around dodgeball - throwing balls at other people.
