4.0 out of 5 stars A Great & Fun Game!, November 12, 2004

This review is from: Godzilla: Save the Earth (Video Game)

As of now alot of critics are really hating on this game, but if you're a Godzilla fan do not believe them. Someone looking for spot on controls and a non-button mashing fighting game should probably look elsewhere. Being a Godzilla fan for over 25 yrs. I can honestly say the monsters all behave and have their signature growls as if I was watching one of the Godzilla movies. Graphics are real good on the ps-2 and the monsters all look better then the DAMM from the gamecube and x-box. Environments are quite large and the selection of monsters is outstanding. Lots of modes to unlock and this makes the replay value very high, considering the fact that if you're a big G-fan then you will want to go through them all w/all the monsters to unleash all their different attacks.

But the game is not perfect, by any means. Some of the negatives would be the fact that on some of the modes and in Action mode you have to also control the camera when firing your beam. I am all about playing games that are difficult, but Atari makes this part FRUSTRATING!! It is kind of annoying. When going through Action mode if you quit at any point the only part that is saved is any points you have accumulated (which goes towards buying monsters, arenas etc..). Therefore if you were on the 3rd. level forget about continuing from that point the next time you turn on the ps-2. You have to begin at the very beginning of Action mode. I forgive the modes where you have to control the camera-practice makes perfect, but this part, the developers really blew it. One of the worst things a programmer could do to a true gamer. Another downside is the music-it is pretty bland. When you finish action mode the Godzilla march is played, big deal. It would sound so much better if it was played during a match, as well as all the other anthems from the Godzilla movies. The story for action mode was rushed and alot of it was cut before the game was released. This creates a story that really makes no sense, but considering that alot of the big G-movies had plots that either made little sense or were pointless, then this kinda makes the action mode feel cheesy-but in a good way. I wish you could play as Biollante and Hedorah, w/like 18 monsters to choose from this is just a personal gripe. But we are talking about a game that is based on movies where men in rubber suits beat the hell out of eachother, so the monsters do not move like soul caliber characters. This makes you feel like you really are controlling a 300 ft. tall monster-excellent!

So all in all this game is a lot of fun and I felt like I was in an actual Godzilla movie. If you like button mashing and enjoy the Godzilla movies-trust me you will love this game. Aside from the above flaws Atari really did justice to Godzilla. An incredibly fun game!!!!

The Big G is Back In a Second video game called Godzilla Save the Earth. The game has over 20 Monsters and lots of fighting and destruction of cities. If you think the game is SOOOO COOOL well then Buy It November 2.
