Godzilla Critic Reviews

It’s absolutely rough around the edges, but there’s some fun to be had here.

So while Godzilla might be an average game in many ways, it’s also a very faithful Godzilla experience, and one that fans and will treasure having in their collection.

Godzilla has laid many eggs in gaming, and this is another one. Other than the presentation, Godzilla doesn’t do anything perfectly.

If you love these movies, perhaps you would enjoy it. But Godzilla is an action game with poor graphics and repetitive missions. Godzilla deserves something better.

An ugly game with broken old-school mechanics. Consider buying it if you are a Godzilla fan and after a cut price only.

Godzilla is not a terrible game, but it's just not a lot of fun. The repetition sets in very early and it becomes a chore to play for all but the most diehard of fans.

Godzilla provides an experience soaked in nostalgia that simply isn't fun to play after putting in time with it. Sure, hearing the roars, tearing through towns and beating up on Rodan were entertaining for the first few minutes, but it all goes downhill quite quickly.

Ultimately, Godzilla can be a reasonably fun romp if you're up for some mindless chaos, but it's too clumsily executed to recommend to anyone who isn't a diehard fan of the King of Monsters.

Despite the huge flaws, there’s still something that kept drawing me back to play a bit more, to destroy a few buildings or beat one more Kaiju. It’s not smart or clever, nor remotely modern, and it’s mostly repetitive and dull. But it’s Godzilla – a giant nuclear accident that is as likely to destroy you as protect you.

The game has some nice fan-features, including Prime Ministers with varying personalities and perspectives on Godzilla's threat potential, and Diorama Mode, which is a virtual dollhouse for custom scenes. There's also a great kaiju encyclopedia, detailing the long list of monsters Godzilla has confronted, along with various versions of the monster itself. However, none of that helps the game overcome its overly simplistic and boring gameplay.

There is only so far you can take a game titled Godzilla. After the fun of smashing up buildings and flinging helicopters soon wears off, you begin to find yourself with a mediocre title that becomes repetitive at best.

The game is littered with fan service and was clearly made by people who love the property. In a way, that’s what makes it so frustrating.

Godzilla is the perfect ode to an icon from the twentieth century. However, it is not a game that you will play for days in a row. The graphics, the gameplay and the story are all very disappointing.

If you really wanna play and have fun with Godzilla and you still have an Xbox or a GameCube, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee will give you much more (more and more) satisfaction.

All in all, there may not be enough substance for a gamer to really stick around and play the game more than a few times in curiosity.

Apart from it’s massive roster of Kaiju and an encyclopedia of monsters, Godzilla's poor graphics, uncomfortable controls, and overly repetitive missions make this one of the worst renditions of the King of the Kaiju since he fought Matthew Broderick in Madison Square Garden back in ‘97.

Godzilla faithful will be once again disappointed by this lackluster offering. Unintuitive controls, poor responsiveness, broken combat, repetitive missions…

Godzilla is a game only for hardcore fans of the kaiju genre. If you aren't, the game will be a great disappointment due to its repetitive gameplay mechanics or its mediocre visuals.

A love of the movies can only get you so far when the experience is this frustrating and hollow. What a letdown.

Perhaps Godzilla will get a decent game by his hundredth anniversary, but this isn’t it.
