Activities Include1 Player / 2Player Mode In the city of Monstropolis the monsters must be very careful to avoid contamination by anything that belongs to human children. They even have special teams of monsters CDA Agents (Child Detection Agency) dressed in bright yellow anti-contamination suits to handle such emergencies. In the style of a classic arcade game these brave monsters will fly through the air and tag-team to collect toxic materials. The game begins with two CDA monsters one on a see-saw and the other set to jump onto it. When he jumps and lands on the see-saw the monster will launch the other off the see-saw and attempt to grab or destroy items at the top of the screen for points. Each monster can only affect items that match their color. When the first monster returns to the bottom of the screen he must land on the unoccupied side of the seesaw in order to catapult the second monster into the air. If the monster is not caught on the seesaw then you lose one chance. You will begin the game with only three chances. As the game progresses other color-coded CDA monsters will be waiting along the sides of the screen to be "tagged" into th Review The opening graphics are spectacular in this Monsters, Inc. game, but it's all downhill from there. Like most of the programs in the Monsters' arcade series, Monster Tag is too hard to use. Like Pong, or Breakout, the idea is to bounce monsters into the sky to hit icons which represent points. Contrary to Pong, however, the launching of the monsters is a two-key process using both the arrow and space bar keys, which can be overwhelming for younger users. Features of the game include two difficulty settings and one or two player modes. High scores are kept. We like Pong better as it's easier to use at first, becoming harder as your skills improve. Monster Tag starts out too tough, and those great opening graphics are nowhere to be found in the actual game.
