Controlling Monsters in games......

[ScaryRabbit]

I think you will agree that there are many great games out there, plenty involve fighting monsters but when it comes to controlling them there arnt really that many variations ,call me blood thirsty, but i love to control monsters in games, get them to eat people, Its great fun. ;D
Ghostmaster hits near to the mark, scaring people till they flee in terror or go nuts(which is hillarious).
I would like to see more games out there that involve the player actually controlling monsters in some way,in a simular way to ghostmaster.
Maybe a game where you can send a monster into the level and control it first hand(FPS) or give it orders on what to do and what not to do,have a selection of grizly abillities, give it guidance and watch it go to work.

What are your thoughts on this?

Check out Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2.

They give you that ability. You control them in sort of a ghost-master way (similar anyway), but can also take over any given cretaure to go squish mortals.

And in those titles, you're killing the mortals, not scaring

The Kabuto missions towards the end of Giants gives you a pretty large monster, chashing, eating and throwing the Smarties around.

Thanks Kitty Kitty, thanks L, i will give those games a try, when i can pull myself away from ghostmaster .

Check out my spooky encounter on "personal supernatural experiences". I actually found out a few months after the event that the place it happened had a history of strange happennings.
