[edit] Story
George, Lizzie, and Ralph have been captured for the world to see. George is held captive in New York City, Lizzie is imprisoned in Tokyo, and Ralph is stored in London (references to King Kong, Godzilla, and Werewolf of London (or An American Werewolf in London, respectively). Scumlabs, who has just rebuilt their facilities in Salt Lake City, causes another accident that results in three new monsters: Curtis, a mouse, Boris, a rhinoceros, and Ruby, a lobster. Players choose one of the three original monsters to rescue. The player then uses the characters in the part of the world where the rescue is held. They work as a collective to break buildings, eat people, and destroy cars and this creates competition among players. When a player (literally) unlocks Ralph, Lizzie, or George, then they become playable characters. Once all the monsters are rescued, aliens begin to invade the earth, leaving the monsters the only ones who can save the planet they just helped partially destroy. After fending off the invasion on Earth, the monsters rescue Myukus (a cyclops-like alien) from Area 51 before chasing the aliens through space, destroying the aliens' bases throughout the Solar System and eventually rampaging through their homeworld.
[edit] Gameplay
The game has you stomp on buildings to destroy them. When you have made enough holes in a building, it will collapse. Sometimes objects are in the buildings, and help you when grabbed. When every building has been destroyed, you advance to the next level. Every five levels or so you can play a mini-game in an effort to win lives, health, or power.

[edit] References to real life
Most of the cities in each level are built according to their real-world appearances:
- In London, one of the structures that could be destroyed is the Tower of London.
- In Washington, D.C., one of the buildings that could be destroyed looks like the White House, and another looks like the Capitol.
- In New York, the Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, and World Trade Center, could be destroyed as well, the game having taken place before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
- In Chicago, the Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower, can be destroyed.
Most of the fake planets are named after real cities.
[edit] Reception
IGN rated the game 5.3, criticizing it as being "repetitive".
