    Godzilla: Save The Earth is a fun party game and nothing more. The monsters and cities are rendered nicely. The gameplay is acceptable also. It took time to become accustomed to controlling characters that move slower than the more popular games like Morttal Kombat and Soul Calibur 2, but once I got the hang of it, the fights became enjoyable.

Yeah, I know people reading this are snickering about how I find the gameplay to be acceptable, however the slower movements allow you to defend yourself more effectively when playing against the computer. My main complaint is the action mode. For my tastes, there should be a different storyline for each monster that you choose. As a bigtime Godzilla fan, I know that some of the monsters are evil and some are not. Thus, the same "Save The Earth" story should not be used for say, Megalon or Gigan. This game gets a 7 simply because of how some of my favorite monsters are rendered so well (especially Jet Jaguar). Otherwise, I would have slapped a 6 on it. … Expand

    PLEASE Release this on the Xbox Arcade and PSN with Online. It's one of the most fun games I've ever played and deserves a lot more recognition! Godzilla is at his best in this game and the controls are fantastic. You can literally recreate 'Destroy All Monsters' with the 4-Player Brawls.

    This game is so much fun! I can't recall of another fighter game that made me laugh so hard I fell backwards off my chair and hit my head on a plate causing my head to bleed while not even caring. That is how fun this game!

    This game will always on have a special place in my heart. This was not only the first ever game I played for PS2, but Godzilla was my childhood hero and will has impacted my life in so many positive ways and will continue to do so. As for the gameplay, it's outstanding. The monster movements are flawed, but nonetheless they fight and move around as if they would in a real life GodzillaThis game will always on have a special place in my heart.

    I don't think I've ever been more bored when playing a game. Punch, kick, throw into wall, throw into wall, punch, throw into wall, “Godzilla 2000 wins!”, next round...ad infinitum.

    A ton of fun...There's a lot of appeal to the city-stomping combat here. [Jan 2005, p.73]

    Hardcore Godzilla fans will appreciate seeing the decent renderings of some of their favorite monsters here, but they're unlikely to be terribly impressed by the action itself.
