War of the Monsters is a video game created by Incognito Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation 2 using a modified Twisted Metal: Black game engine. The game was released in 2002.
Plot
A fleet of alien warships invade the Earth, causing chaos everywhere. The scientists of the world manage to create a series of secret weapons, which, when activated, let loose shockwaves that short-circuit the saucers and cause them to crash. Unfortunately, this brings forth an even bigger disaster: radioactive fuel leaks out from destroyed crafts and through a number of random events, it creates giant monsters. The player acts as one of these monsters and battles against the rest in fictional cities across the globe.
Monsters
There are ten monsters in the game. Two of the ten must be unlocked.
Togera
Togera is believed to be a descendant of the gigantic dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth millions of years ago. Now, it is possibly the last of its species. Survival drives it to fight, savagely-morphing its body to protrude deadly "bone" spikes and spitting deadly streams of energy. When a UFO crashed into the sea, its fuel sank to the bottom of the ocean, and re-awakened the hibernating dinosaur when it inhaled the radioactive waste pouring out of it.

Preytor
Preytor was once just a Praying Mantis, but when a scientist gave her some Alien fuel to consume, she mutated into a giant Praying Mantis; growing bigger every second, and then ate the scientist whole.
Bonus costumes
Congar
Congar's a super-gorilla fueled by anger, astronomical strength and insatiable revenge. Along with his extreme reach and destructive punches, his sonic roar is extremely damaging at close range. He was once a chimpanzee that was sent into space, but when an off-course UFO crashed into his small vessel it sent him hurling towards Earth. He eventually crashed into Earth, but he was a normal chimp no more, as the alien fuel had mutated him into Congar.

Robo-47
A military war robot whose time ended at the demise of the atomic age, Robo-47 packs heavy gauge steel plating and armaments once thought to be the pinnacle of modern technology. But Robo-47's shortcomings only reside in its dated appearance. His Atomic missile packs enough punch to level a building...and the surrounding city block. Robo-47 was shut down, and left in a warehouse in an unknown location. But when the UFOs crashed, some fuel drifted into the warehouse, reactivated it, giving birth to another monster.

Agamo
Agamo's massive stone structure is believed to be the work of a civilization that vanished eons ago. The fire burning in its eyes and head hint at the rage that has engulfed its soul. Agamo can effortlessly control the molecules binding its rock body together and create a large bounder of massive destructive capabilities. Agamo was once just a tiki-like statue buried in the ground by an ancient civilization, but a remaining native poured some of the alien fuel into its burning fires, bringing it to life.

Ultra V is the fifth version of a group of super robots designed to be saviors for cities under siege. Equipped with state-of-the-art eye lasers, space-age metal, rocket firing fists and an energy sword, Ultra V is ready to eliminate any threat to mankind. Now with a mind of its own, there is little to prevent it from unleashing its destructive technology. Ultra V was a giant robot designed by the Japanese to combat the creatures. But when they tried the alien fuel to power it, it went out of their control and flew out of the base.
