Editorial Review:
When developers blend strategy games and arcade games, the result is often a somewhat diluted hybrid that fails to appeal to either type of gamer. Miraculously, The Unholy War does an admirable job of blending both genres. The meat of The Unholy War is a lightning-quick, 3-D arcade combat engine that lets a variety of inspired units duke it out in various combat arenas. The units have strengths and weaknesses that play off one another in the ultimate game of rock-paper-scissors.
The strategy portion of The Unholy War adds an extra layer to the gameplay and complements the tactical combat nicely. Here, players move their combatants across a strategic map, attempting to place units on spots where the terrain offers an advantageous position. Units gain some extra abilities on the strategic map, which can be used to better secure a position, and when two units meet on the map, gameplay switches immediately to the arcade-combat mode where a victor is determined. It's a challenge making certain your units are positioned correctly, and the fun explodes when you play against a friend. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Very good 3-D graphics
- Arcade game can be played separately
- Strategy elements add depth
Cons:
- Strategy fans may not like the steep reflex requirements

Rating: - A genre all it's own...
My roommate picked this game up the very same day he shipped his ex-girlfriend off to California. He picked it up at a pawn shop because he liked, "the cool cover."
Fast forward to now, almost a YEAR AND A HALF later, we both STILL play this one game against each other on almost a daily basis (on the PS2 no less!). For the record, I've been a video game junkie since the Atari 2600 was the latest news. Missile Command, Defender, Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono ... Read More
Rating: - One of the most underrated small titles on the PSX
The Unholy War is simply put one the most unique games on the PSX. It is a simple Stradegy game that not many have ever heard of. I was introduced this little title on a Offical Playstation Magazine Demo Disk. On the Demo they had 4 characters playable, eah with their own strength and Weakness. I was hooked. When I purchased the game I loved it even more with the increase in Characters and the stradegy mode made the game a lot of fun to play.
Now the story behind the Unholy War is that these ... Read More
Rating: - By far, one of the most addicting Playstation games!
Hear me out... I have a Playstation2 with a few games...I have this game (Unholy War) for my original Playstation and I end up some how, playing this game more than I do the Playstation2, its that fun. It's such a unigue game featuring battle fields where you take control over about 10 "things" on your team (everything from a Prana, the animal, to a Mech) and duke it out 1 on 1 at a time against the same type of enemy's on the other side. Its an awesome multiplayer game! It even works with ... Read More
Rating:  - The MOST UNDERRATED game for the Playstation! 2 Thumbs UP!
Whenever I introduce another person to this game, after their total amazement, they instantly say, "why haven't I heard of this game before," or, "too bad it never made it big." Truly, this is the most underrated Playstation game ever. In case you're wondering what I normally like, I'm into the classics Twisted Metal series, strategy games like Syphon Filter, and even fun antics like Crash Team Racing... but The Unholy War is what STAYS in my Playstation most of the time!
