4.0 out of 5 stars Godzilla Unleashed on Wii, December 7, 2007

This review is from: Godzilla Unleashed (Video Game)

Let me preface this by saying that I'm a big Godzilla fan who enjoyed the previous two entries into this series, "Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee" and "Godzilla Save The Earth" even though they were flawed games. I have been awaiting "Godzilla Unleashed" since summer and it is one of the reasons I picked up a Nintendo Wii.

While "Godzilla Unleashed" is far from a perfect game, I am very happy with it and would recommend it without reservations to any Godzilla fan. The game features an almost perfect roster of Toho monsters, some of whom have never appeared in a video game before. The game also features innovative controls that make use of the Wiimote/nunchuck setup and a nonlinear story mode in which choices made during the game influence what you encounter later in the story. And, of course, there are many options for multiplayer which has always been the cornerstone for these Atari Godzilla games. All of the above are executed with varying levels of quality.

My criticisms of the game are that the controls are a little tricky to master (but that may not be a bad thing), the story mode and crystal power ups are needlessly complicated, the system for unlocking new monsters is hilariously arcane (buy x faction and use x monster on x day and destroy three crystals x then go back the next day and fight another monster during the new moon then circle around three times then say MOGUERA three times while facing north) and I much preferred the more straight forward system used in DAMM where completing the game with different monsters unlocks new monsters. I would have been honestly happy with a graphically improved version of STE with more monsters and a simpler version of this single player mode.

But ultimately all of that doesn't take too much away from the experience of the game. As a Godzilla fan, there is an undeniable thrill from seeing new characters like Biollante, Titanosaurus, Varan, and the orginal 70's Mechagodzilla (who is animated with all of his stiffly robotic glory) appear in the game. Next time they need to throw in Zilla and Hedorah to have a perfect roster.

This review is from: Godzilla Unleashed (Video Game)

I shall first say that i am a godzilla fan and I've gotten Godzilla Domination and Destroy all monsters melee and Save the Earth. all those were good games, but after you play this , there is no other godzilla game better. This is incredible to play and the story mode is absolutely fantastic! There are four different factions for the game. There are Earth Defenders, Which are monsters like godzilla and mothra, rodan, and anguirus. then there are The Global Defense Force, Which are robotic monsters like kiyru and mechagodzilla. then there are Mutants like biollante and destroyah. then ther are the Aliens, like gigan and King ghidorah. The choices you make in the story affect who your allies are, and the faction you play as affects the outcome of the game. This game is very long, so unlocking things may take some time. WARNING: there is a little language in the game, i just thought I should point that out. So all in all this game Is THE BEST GODZILLA GAME EVER!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fighting game, February 20, 2008

The controls take getting used to, but once you do it is very fun. I recommend starting at easy then work your way up to medium or hard.
The graphics are great, detailed skin textures, you can even see the "MG" on Mechagodzilla's(1974) arm.
Beam fights are much easier to do, simply shaking the controller.
Grappling is frustrating.
Some bugs, aiming can be an issue and Megalon can't aim if his life depended on it.
The sound is great and the monsters look great.
Godzilla 90's LOOKS like Godzilla 90's. They even gave him the booming gutteral roar he had in the first 2 Hesei films(1984-95).
Huge assortment of monsters.
Small assortment of cities, stupid story and control issues are the biggest cons.
Other than that it still is a very enjoyable game, since it is Wii and motion sensored, you also get a mini workout too ;)
