This game is awesome times. It has kicks, punches, and you can swing your tail like a mad man. you also have a special attack like fire for Godzilla. but sometimes in adventure mode you feel like the game is favoring the computer enemy. But when it does not feel like that then this game is awesome. I would recomend it to anyone that wants it and already has a few games so if your mad at it you have something else to play.
I also reccomend Sonic Aventure 2 battle and super smash bros melee
This game is fun!

This is a great game. I picked it up for my kids and I can't get over how great the graphics are and how fun the game play is. I only paid $... for it and it is definately worth it. You get to fight another monster, throw buildings, ships, etc., fly, shot lasers out of your eyes, fire out of your mouth, dig under the city, try out great finishing moves you can watch on the instant replay. Play in Adventure Mode where you must defeat all the other monsters to win more monsters to play as. Play in Melee Mode to battle up to three other friends. Play in Destruction Mode to see who can destroy most of the city. There are other modes as well - I just can't remember them all. This is like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter with huge monsters that destroy the city while they fight (like on Godzilla movies or Power Rangers episodes). Trust me - you will like it!
Awesome game!!

First I must say that I am a huge fan of Godzilla, and when I heard that this game was out, I immediatley bought it, even though I didn't have a GameCube console, lol. Well, after I got the GameCube, I was absolutely amazed at the awesome graphics and animation of this game!! The monsters are fleshed out in great detail, and they're roars and cries are exactly as they are in the movies. Another great thing about this game is the scenery and graphics, from helicoptors shooting missles at you, debris flying from the crashing buildings, to spotlights and explosions, this game has it all. A fast-paced and exciting music score really gets you into the game, realistic sound effects, like breaking glass and the rumbling of the monsters footsteps make you feel as if you are right in the middle of the heated battle! This really is a great game to get folks, if you love having an all out slug-fest with your friends, or just duking it out to "Save the world from aliens". You definetaly won't regret buying this!!

Finally, a game comes along that allows us to control Godzilla, fight epic battles with gigantic Toho monsters, and smash cities to rubble. Naturally, the game's big appeal is to Godzilla fans. Will fans be disappointed? Possibly, but if you're like me, we'll take whatever slice of delicious Godzilla-cake we can get.
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters allows you to control one of eleven monsters: Godzilla, Godzilla 2000, Rodan, Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, Destroyah, Gigan, Anguirus, Megalon, Orga, and Mecha-King Ghidorah. If you were hoping to get your hands on Mothra, you're out of luck here, my friends. Mothra only makes random appearances throughout the game, [giving] herself out to whoever is the first to snatch the Mothra pick-up. I found this to be a little disappointing.
You can fight your way through 8 different arenas including Seattle, San Francisco, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Monster Island, and an alien Mother Ship. Perhaps you're wondering how come the likes of New York City and Paris didn't make it into the mix. Who wouldn't love to stomp out the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower? Unfortunately, these cities are nowhere to be found.
The monsters in the game look fantastic, very close to their movie counterparts. Their moves are also appropriate to the character, though at times, it seems like your giant monster moves frustratingly slow. Miss a few times with a Godzilla-tail smack, and you'll get my drift. Rodan can fly. Megalon can burrow under the ground, come up from underneath, and fling your monster around town like a pepperoni pizza. Naturally, Godzilla's asset is his strength. The developers did a great job at creating the monsters right down to their trademark screams.
The cities don't look quite as fantastic as the monsters. They're more or less the same: big and little rectangles to knock over, with a few differences. For instance, Seattle boasts the space-needle (get your firebreath and watch it burn!). Also, the cities aren't that big. Explore a little and before you know it, you'll be smacking against the green wall that limits how far you can travel. The monster who does the most damage to surrounding buildings will have the military to deal with. Much like the movies, their missiles have little effect. The worst the military can do to you is freeze you, giving your enemy some extra time to get a few attacks in.
The controls are relatively easy; there's a kick button, hit button, strong attack button, jump, run, and the special move button for your fire breath, sonic scream, or whatever else. The story mode gets repetitive; you're basically beating up monsters to unlock the next one on your list. But it can still be fun as you figure out different ways to off your opponent. Should you stamp him out with a rage attack or pick him up and toss him into a skyscraper? Hmm!
Winning the game comes down mostly to the pick-ups placed randomly throughout the city, adding just a small dose of strategy as you attempt to get to these pick-ups before your enemy does. Get the Mothra pick-up and she'll show up and blast your opponent. If the other monster gets to her first... well, Mothra is a dirty, dirty backstabber.
Some people have compared this game to Super Smash Bros Melee. This game is definitely not SSBM. There aren't as many options, levels, or characters to choose from. Still, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters has its own merit. I mean, where else can you actually be Godzilla? While the game has its flaws (and there are more than a few), there's still something that makes me giddy every time I light an opponent on fire with that atomic breath.

This game calls for one to four players. At the beginning you choose one of three monsters. Your monster has all kinds of fighting techniques. For example, hand punches, kicks, and other powers like fire balls and lasers are some of the abilities of the different monsters. Defeat the other monsters and win addtional monsters and levels. Do you see now why they call this "Destroy All Monsters"? Buy it now! This is a tremendous action game.
Oh yah!!

This game is the coolest!! I mean, trust me, if you havn't bought it yet then you really, really should. With Godzilla 2000, one of his throw moves is he picks up a guy, spins him around, throws him up into the air and then when he comes back down Godzilla punches him halfway across the arena. If you like wrestling and you like Godzilla then you have to get this game! You have to!

I traded in my XBOX to buy the gamecube for this game and boy is it worth it. If you're a Godzilla fan, BUY THIS GAME!!!!! Its very simple to play and all the monsters are faithfully rendered in full 3d glory, When you've got 4 friend playing, it doesn't get much better. I can't wait for the sequel.
Monsterous Destruction!

If you are a fan of Godzilla,I recommend this game to you.You may think that to pick from 11 different monsters is crummy, but once you get those new ones and use them in multiplayer,man,you will blow your friends away.Not to mention,you can tear buildings out of the ground and wack the opponent with it.The images and graphics on all the monsters just makes you re-think about returning the game.
But if you just like old-school destruction,then I think you should just buy a game called Rampage.
Good Luck
BEST GAME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is great game. We all know that some of the older Godzila games stunk.Well here is a MAJOR improvement.
Graphics: The 3D ... kicking monsters and collapsing building are fun to watch. Also bright colors.
Gameplay: At first the controlls are hard to get use to, but after a while There pretty easy. But still the monsters could move a bit faster.
Music/sound: In the distance you can hear roaring of your monster and hear gunfire from tanks. The backround music is all classic Godzila.
Overall: For peaple who like RPG and adventure there is not much to offer. But fans of Godzila (like my self) will have a blast.
