  • Dec. 1, 2008 Review: Monster Lab - DS

    "It's alive... Alive!" Dr. Frankenstein's famous quote has never been more prevalant in a title than Monster Lab, a new role-playing title that puts you in the shoes of a like-minded mad scientist looking to create life. Much like Frankenstein himself, Eidos' Monster Lab allows you to construct various forms of monstrous life through a combination of limbs, parts, and special attributes. With so many options, what will you end up creating?

    THE BOTTOM LINE: A charming detour, Monster Lab is a fantastically tongue-in-cheek adventure that has just enough charm in its gameplay to overshadow some lackluster controls.
