Overview
Description

Hayden Tenno, a covert operative, is sent to the war‑torn city of Lasria to stop the spread of the Technocyte virus. After being infected, his right arm mutates into a lethal weapon, granting him terrifying new abilities as he fights both the infected and his enemies. The game blends third‑person shooting with horror‑filled environments, offering a gritty narrative set against a Cold War backdrop. Players experience intense single‑player missions and competitive multiplayer modes across PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Monster Attack puts you in the boots of an Earth Defence Force infantryman, tasked with single‑handedly repelling massive invasions of giant insects, robots, and alien ships across 30 destructible missions. Choose two weapons per mission from a vast arsenal, pilot vehicles like tanks and helicopters, and team up in split‑screen co‑op to unleash mayhem. The game features fully destructible city environments, infinite ammo for select weapons, and a progression system that upgrades health, armor, and unlocks new firepower, delivering classic EDF chaos on the PlayStation 2.
