Whether your sympathy lies with the monsters or with the humans, you'll be able to choose your side and start killing the opposition in this all-inclusive battle of the species. You'll be able to take your pick from six playable characters (representing both sides of the war), each of which will have 36 massive missions to complete for his race. A gothic horror tale in the truest sense, SHAYDE: Monsters vs. Humans utilizes creative environments and a well-conceived story to weave one of the more incredible games to hit the Xbox. The game's variety of weaponry includes powder kegs, flintlock pistols, hand axes, and other cool items. Since each character has a unique storyline, the replay value is sky high, and there are enough endings to keep you playing for months on end. Though the one-player stuff is remarkable, you can actually use the game's online capabilities to get as many as eight players entangled in the mayhem.
