    The audio is perfect, using clips straight out of the movie.

    As far as multiplayer experiences go, Godzilla represents one of GameCube's very best. Add in a great, beautiful presentation and lots of subtle and not so subtle humor elements, and this one is a keeper for fighting and Godzilla fans.

    The best Godzilla game to date. It would be a good brawler even without the big green guy, as the fighting mechanics are solid all-around.

    Godzilla can't compete with top fighting games like DOA3, but then you'd be foolish to expect it to. It's probably going to appeal more to people who like monster movies.

    The top dog in large-scale fighting. The fact that it's covered with melted Japanese cheese is merely icing on the cake. [Nov 2002, p.90]

    One of the most fantastic things about the multiplayer mode is the complete absence of any slowdown, even when things are getting insanely wild with all four players and the military mixing it up on the screen.
  7. TotalGames.net

    Fighting games are based on fast reactions and timing; this game doesn’t bother to interpret either of these fundamentals with fights being far less engrossing and hands-on than playing with plastic dinosaurs while making “grrroooar!” noises.

    I liked the game alot. The only things I don't like is that the game could have longer and more levels. Also it should have more monsters.

    I played this game for over an hour and a half after my friend begged me to play it. I tried to like it, I really did, but the incredibly I played this game for over an hour and a half after my friend begged me to play it. I tried to like it, I really did, but the incredibly sluggish controls prevented me from ever feeling like I was really in command of the game. I realize these are huge monsters, but I felt like the combat, especially the up close kicking and punching, should have been much more responsive than it is. As it stands, you really just have to pound the buttons hoping something great happens. The graphics are a bit drab, though strangely appropriate, and there are a lot of nice touches with the buildings around you having chunks knocked off before they fall down. The sound is also well done, particularly the music. Still, the core of the package, the fighting, is what's lacking the most. It's by no means a terrible game, and I could see why people would like it, but I really wasn't feeling this game at all. … Expand

So, why doesAs a Godzilla fanatic, I was looking forward to this game quite a bit. The multiplayer mode is solid, fun, and good for parties. So, why does this get a 1/10?

    The Adventure mode, which is damn near essential to beat in order to have fun with multiplayer (due to unlocking new characters) is godawful. Incredibly unfair, rage-inducing, and terribly designed, the Adventure mode is from hell. I'm fine with hard games; hell, I play them all the time (Zelda 2: The Adventure Of Link and Castlevania Dracula X for instance) but this is 100% unfair. Don't touch this Godzilla-sized turd.    … Expand
