Designed for gamers and animation fans of all ages, Disney/Pixar's Monsters, Inc. for PlayStation 2 is based on the computer-animated feature released in theaters last November. In a spine-tingling adventure that closely follows the plot of the movie, the game allows players to navigate as Monsters, Inc.'s top Scarer, James P. Sullivan -- a.k.a. Sulley -- a huge, intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns.

"We are delighted to bring Disney/Pixar's Monsters, Inc. to the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system," said Ami Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The game recreates and brings to life the magic of the animated feature in an interactive experience that appeals to everyone from kids to adults. In addition, the enhanced DVD extras on the disc make this a must-have title for every animation fan."

Set in the realm of things that go bump in the night, Disney/Pixar's Monsters, Inc. for PlayStation 2 implores players to take care of an adorable lost human child, Boo, who has accidentally made her way into the monster world. Players must lead Boo back to her home, avoiding the CDA (Child Detection Agency) and other obstacles along the way. Players will interact with Sulley's best friend and Scare Assistant, Mike -- a green, opinionated, feisty little one-eyed monster who provides helpful advice throughout the adventure. Players also interact with some not-so-nice characters, such as the slimy chameleon monster, Randall Boggs, and Monsters, Inc.'s CEO, Henry J. Waternoose. With stunning graphics and eye-popping special effects made possible by the power of PlayStation 2, the game brings all the magic of the feature film to life in a fun-filled, fur-raising romp.
