I seriously don’t understand why everyone loves this game so. What is so great about this game? It’s “cute,” I’ll give it that but come on, it is so horrible. I played a few times, both single player and co-op, and then deleted it. I wanted to like it, but there was just no possible way. If you want a great tower defense game, with much more replayability, better music, & better co-op do yourself a favor and give Comet Crash a try. That game owns the TD genre.

This game is awesome! It is simple to learn and will instantly get you hooked. It is addicting, challenging, and unique. The game is great playing solo but if you have another person with you, then this is a really good co-op game to play! You work together as a team building towers to defend the village. Co-op plays exactly how you would play if you were playing by yourself except each player has their own set of coins to build whatever kind of tower they want or collaborate and strategize together on how best to defeat the monsters and clear the level. So, if you are looking for more co-op games to play, please give this one a try – you won’t be disappointed! Even if you don’t have someone to play with, this game is probably the best PSN game out there!

This game is what put the company Pixel Junk on the map. It’s cute, addictive, challenging, and yet…not that hard to beat. The real pull of the game (which you may not notice till you get further) is to try to get a perfect by not letting any monsters past at all (normally the 20th monster to get past is losing that level). Trying to upgrade the right towers at the right times is very rewarding. Playing it 2 player is even better. If you like any tower defense games, then you should get it.
Don’t forget, they have an add-on pack called “Pixel junk Monsters Encore” which adds more maps and a lot more fun!
And after you’ve beaten both games there is a 3rd island that you imput any code and it gives you a random level that you’ve already played, but with random monsters in it (more fun than you think).

You’ve probably played games like this before — it is basically a 2D map of a tower/defense game (not much explanation required). The graphics look artist-drawn. Elements and creatures are simple things (it’s not supposed to be highly detailed 3D). Real strategy and puzzle solving (placement of your defenses) is required to complete levels and to qualify for bonus levels.
The game is both very addictive and fun. It reminds me of the kind of games they used to make for the 8-bit computers back in the mid-80’s, the ones which held their gameplay value long after graphics had improved.

I find this game a lot of fun and very addictive. It’s a tower defense game. The animated monsters are very cute and the noise they make when your kill them is funny. I think this game also offers a 2 person co-op mode which could be a lot of fun, a nice way to trick your kids/wife into playing videogames with you while keeping quiet
This game also offers an online mode where in you can compare your scores against all the other players online and earn trophies too. The background music is pleasing and it increases pace as more and more monsters start coming towards your nest/cave… a nice touch I think. The multiple kinds of available towers are fun … the best tower against ground monsters is the fire cannon IMO, and the best tower against the air monsters is the laser tower(can’t remember the exact name as its been a while since I played this). Of all the PSN games I have purchased so far, this is definitely the best! High Velocity Bowling would be the second best on my list. I remember playing Pixeljunk Monsters until 2AM for the first few weeks after getting this game… totally worth the price.
