Wow was I surprised when I played this!!! the selection of monsters is HUGE also great destructable environments! power up's and tons of extras to keep you coming back for more. godzilla hasn't looked this great ever in motion picture history with all the Great Sound Effects of the creatures! definately a sweet fighter, a great godzilla game and wonderfully done my only gripe was the lock on system, its a tad off because when you "lock on" and launch a special attack like breat weapon etc it does NOT auto aim at the target you MUST be facing the target to hit it with a lock on otherwise a Stellar title!

Graphics: 5 of 5 easily. godzilla and friends are beautifully rendered in this game!

Sound: Supreme creature sounds otherwise above avg. 4 1/2 stars

Fun and Replayability: 5 star! Tons of unlockable monsters, arenas, cities, and concept art and tons more including minigames! this title will keep you coming back for more with ease!

I couldn't disagree more with the person who thought not having an ongoing storyline in the game was a drawback. It's the best thing they could have done! You can just get out there and fight your monsters instead of watching cut scenes and having fights interrupted when you really just want to bash something.

Two player is even more fun, because if you want to, you can ignore each other and just stomp around destroying Tokyo (or whatever city you're in). You can pick up buildings, ships, your opponent, etc and throw them, or you can kick and punch things till they fall down. Great way to get your frustrations out.

If anyone is familiar with a game called Robot Alchemic Device from a couple of years ago, "Godzilla: Save the Earth" has accomplished what that game tried and failed to do. RAD had a boring ongoing story line that you couldn't skip no matter how many times you had seen it, which interrupted the game play frequently and annoyingly without any reason--in fact it often resulted in your losing a round because your action was frozen during the cut scene but your opponent could and did continue to fight. You also had a cumbersome and useless human counterpart to deal with, people to save who were so annoying that you really just wanted to kill them yourself, and split screens and perspectives that made it impossible to see what you were doing. It was pretty much worth the hassle when you could actually just get out there and fight with your robots, because that part was awesome--but it sure was a lot to put up with to get to the fun. "Godzilla" has corrected all those irritating mistakes and delivers a fun game with no distractions or constraints to doing what you want to do when you play a game like this one--destroy!

The inclusion of several Godzilla variations and many classic monsters from the old movies is a real plus.

As with any video game I would recommend renting or borrowing it before you spend a lot of money on it, but if you like fast action fighting games, I think you'll give this one a 5 out of 5!

This is truley one of the most awesome games ever put on system, it could've been better and all but at least it's a cool game! When I got sick on Easter my dad rented this for me because I wanted the Incredibles and Tony Hawks Underground 2 but they didn't have it.

Yo this game is WICKED!!!! Years ago, the only Godzilla game available was for the Gamecube and the Xbox... But now there's finally one for PS2!!!

This game is awesome,'cause you get to play as most of the monsters from the original franchise!!! You also get to beat up on your enemies and destroy cities!

The game isn't that violent, yet there's a lot of hitting and beating up... but it's only monsters!!! People who love godzilla, fighting games, or any fun game will love this!!! Highly recommended.

Being a G-Fan, Destroy All Monsters Melee wasn't what I expected it to be. First of all, a lack of some of Godzilla's most important and finest monsters really was annoying. Save The Earth comes back much bigger and better, with some of the monsters that didn't appear in Destroy All Monsters Melee such as Mothra, Baragon, Jet Jaguar, Space Godzilla and more. Though a couple of the stages may seem squeezed in and small such as the Golden Gate or Monster Island Bay, a lot of the stages are huge.

The game also has fun challenges that are unlocked as you play them in the main one player mode [Action Mode] such as Monster Bowling, where players toss boulders and try to knock down three monsters at the same time [With each monster staying down for 30 seconds each], Vorillium Basketball [Monsters throw super-sized balls into a hoop carved into the side of a mountain] and Battleship [Players toss boulders, small buildings or shoot beams at battleships trying to shoot them].

Monsters also have a little more uniqueness than before with special abbilites. For example, Mothra doesn't have a Rage attack [Like a special attack], Space Godzilla's grappling attacks take up energy and. Jet Jaguar can change sizes and utilize different abilites such as deflecting beam attacks when he is extra small and knocking monsters high into the air whenever he falls on the ground when he is in his extra large size.

The game is simply fantastic, the game is a little harder to finish than it was in Destroy All Monsters and neat, mini-game like "challenges" are extremely fun. Plus, multiplayer is extremely fun as you and your friends pick different monsters and brawl against eachother in areas such as Boston or San Fransisco or recreate epic battle scenes straight from the movies. Beleive me, if you're a G-Fan, this game is perfect.

A+ Monster Bashing Epic

The older kids chipped in and bought me this for Christmas -- I haven't had much chance to play because the younger kids (5&6) have monopolized it. Even the wife enjoys it, and she's a self-confessed non-gamer -- the 'easy' levels of the game allow anyone to win their levels within one or two tries, with just enough frustration on the 'Challenges' to keep their egos in check.

"Why do I have to be Rodan? Isn't he a bad guy?"
"No, lad, these are monsters. They are just being monsters, doing what monsters do."

Ok, the plot, which someone said had been hacked down to near nothing, nonetheless it does contain the essential bit of information you need to put your play in context ...

Who are the 'bad guys'? No, not the monsters, or even the myrmidon troops who get caught underfoot. It's not even the power-crazed paste-face alien who's duped the other residents of Monster Island into doing her bidding in her ploy to up her market worth. No, the real villians, they are, as usual in a Toho plot, the abject idiots who saw fit to hide the ultimate terrorist-targets in high-density urban locations!!!

Jerks, stupid beyond imagination. Makes your skin crawl just contemplating the burocrat who signed off on tucking critical components for the ultimate weapon into innocuous urban office buildings. Dense, dense, dense. Who ever they are, and we never find out, I say they deserve to have their cities trampled, and Godzilla (or who ever you choose), once again is the one to step forth to selflessly defend our planet in spite of ourselves, once again gives 110% of himself as he thwarts the alien megalomaniac-tress in her attempts to collect these deadly tidbits.

Ok, back to the game ... replay value is what you make of it: There is no 'objective' so you can monster-bash to your heart's content, and yes, it doesn't save your 'state' when you exit before championing your current tournement but that doesn't matter because each tournement is a random assignment anyway. You just go back and battle some more. There's the Survival and Melee modes for pure monster-paring fun (it's what monsters do, remember) and, as noted in other reviews, you can play up to 4 players on one PS2 or go online for what I might imagine is a fab way to waste some time (I hope it has a chat-channel component!) There are also some 'challenges' which include the expected "Trash the City, Win Prizes" and "Trash the Navy" and even "Intercept alien invaders without accidentally trashing the very building you're defending" (my apologies to the Mayor of S.F., it was an accident, honest it was), but also some pure-camp challenges like monster bowling and some pickup basketball.

As I mentioned, the Easy mode is easy enough that my 6 year old just came bounding upstairs to inform me that he's purchased his second set of expansion monster-kits, but if you need more challenge, you can bump that up to Medium or Hard -- my guess is the Teen rating is either due to parental pressure-groups upset at the 'example' Godzilla may have for young minds (as the evil scientist says in G.vs.Mothra, "Kids know: Monsters mean peace") or it is because the controls for each monster are very complicated for the youngsters, requiring both thumb-sticks for the challenge levels and with many multi-key battle actions -- the joystick face/aim still confounds them, but my kids just press buttons randomly until they get a sense of the controls, and the manual does say there are actions not enumerated in the docs.

It's not a big deal for them, they can still enjoy the game while doing poorly in the challenges. Precision control isn't really a requisite: This is, after all, monster-bashing, not brain surgery. The result is a game the whole family can enjoy one at a time or all together -- added bonus, the profile-save system makes it possible to save your own game-state by proper nouns (someone should tell Nameco!) instead of "Don't you dare touch Game 2!" -- in the one-on-one games, you assign a profile to each controller and get access to your own hard-earned set of Monster Islanders.

The only complaints I have are real nit-pickers:

• "Oh look, Martha, there's some monsters decking it out in the park! I guess we better take 12th instead." --- Cars, busses, delivery vans and anything else non-military should be trying to get out of the neighbourhood as quickly as possible, and when you step on them, they shouldn't re-appear and drive away. Then again, we do get some amusement out of this: "Delivery for a Mr.Ghidorah! Sign here please!"


• When I rip a building out of it's foundation, I expect to see shreds and pipes dangling out the bottom. This is just a personal preference.


• It's wonderfully spooky to mash monsters in a familiar landscape, and I can't fault the game for this, but considering the Internet component wouldn't it have been great if there was a DOOM-like WAD-File editor where we could design our own battle arenas and trade them online? One footprint would pretty much take out our entire downtown here in Sauble, but a Toronto or Ottawa mode might be cool.

I'm hesitating on giving it 5-Stars Overall only because I'd reserve that for games where you and I are invited to extended, contribute and share what we create into the game's universe; not to blame the game, this just wasn't in the plan for Save The Earth and that's too bad, but there's no sense crying over stomped milk-trucks. All things considered, it's a great game, at least for those of us who understand the Godzilla mythos.

Live long and trample.

Godzilla: Save the Earth is an awsome game. It has grat graphics, more monsters, better attacks and moves, and it is just an awsome game.
