OH YEAH!
I LOVE GODZILLA

well i got it and it was worth the wait.

well i can now confirm that the following monsters are on this game godzilla 90's, godzilla 2000,
king gidorah, mecha king gidorah, mecha godzilla,
destroyah, orga, gigan, angirus, rodan, megalon,

and these two non playable monsters mothra, smog monster,

this game is pretty much like a wwe/wcw/wwf wrestling game.

it also can connect to godzilla:domination on the gba through the gba/gcn cable.

hint: it does not say this in the game manual it comes with but if you want to "RUN" hold "L" while moving.

all around i think this game is great how ever more cutscenes would have been welcomed.

A game that does Godzilla justice!

A horrible American movie based on Godzilla made the poor lizard's reputation go down to rock bottom. Than came Godzilla 2000 which was a so-so Godzilla flick made by the true Godzilla people. The Japanese Godzilla films were some of the best camp sci-fi films. And now Godzilla gets a game made on the original films with all of Godzilla's pals and enemys. Godzilla is definetly a cult classic which was begging for a great game. The cities are fully interactive with tanks shooting at you, flying saucers, and if you get crashed into a building it falls down. You can grab buildings and throw them at your opponet.

Crush! Kill! Destroy!

Oops. Wrong franchise. No matter. There is a certain guilty pleasure associated with the horribly wonderful Godzilla movies. It's those utterly unbelievable, but truly cool monsters--whipping tails, atomic bad breath, electric radiation beams, and all. This game captures that spirit in a highly realistic, totally engaging atmosphere. These monsters--and there are many to play--can pick up buildings, trains, and trucks to throw at each other, engage in aerial spin manuevers, go beserk, and essentially recreate the powers they possess in the movies and more. Sure, the fighting action is relatively simple to master, with no fancy finishing moves or unintelligibly difficult button and trigger combinations that give other fighting games unplumbed depth. But that's not what this game is all about. You learn the moves quickly, with a few great tricks that are moderately difficult, but ultimately manageable. The simply controls enhance the combat between the giants. This is as good a video game as I've played in years, and I highly recommend it.

Hey whats up

i have been a big godzilla fan since when i was a kid from 3 years old to 12 years old now i am 15 and not that big of a fan but i still love godzilla movies and video games. I have been waiting for a godzilla game like this to come out for a long time. A game like this was supposed to come out for dreamcast but it got cancelled. i was very dissapointed. Now this game is out and i read like all reviews on it. (and trust me i know my stuff)just try to ask me a question i dont know. Now that i figured out it is out now i am going to buy within like maybe couple days when i can get a ride. And you should get this game too.

Awsome Fun!

In my opinion, the best fighting game ever. It's like being in the movie! Gameplay - excellent. Controls - excellent. Sound- BEYOND excellent - It's like the producers took the monsters into the recording studio to sample their roars. Watch out for the "Mothra air strike" power-up - my favorite. I would buy a 2nd controler for some two player battles, if only my wife would play! This game is THAT fun!

godzilla comes to US of A !!

I was skeptical about Godzilla Melee, but it really does grow on you. Pick a monster as a fighter and duke it out with other monsters in a large, fenced-off area of a city. It may just seem like another mindless button-mashing fest, but there's more strategy than not in order to win. There are a lot of different moves and combos to pull off. The arena, or city, also changes as you play (i.e. you can even pick up buildings and throw them). The one-player mode is very repetitive, however, and difficult. But beating up friends has never failed. I haven't played the game with all four players, but I'm sure it's a blast (oh yeah, where are the computer players?!). My biggest problem with Godzilla, however, is the slow feel. Sure, big monsters can't exactly move very fast, but there's really no sense of "fast and furious." The whole game feels kind of clunky and tedious. So if you already own Super Smash Bros., then you don't really need to own Godzilla. And if you don't own either one, buy Super Smash Bros.; then you won't need to own Godzilla. In other words: there are tons of fun Gamecube 4-player games. Godzilla is great in its own right, but it's been outdown before it even had a chance.

The game is OK, but the setup [is bad]

The game's overall play is OK. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it started off with only 3 playable characters. You have to beat 8 monsters to unlock each character. Meaning you have to beat the same 8 monsters 8 times to unlock all 8 characters.

Godzilla is back!

Finally, a game that does the king of the monsters justice! Godzilla - Destroy All Monsters Melee is a blast to play, pun intended.

I was impressed with the 20 arena locations available to fight in...all of which have a DAY or NIGHT option. Slightly less impressive is the number of monsters to choose from; eleven. That's acceptable, but I would have preferred more. Not all of Godzilla's movie adversaries are in the game...only the best ones.

A larger problem is the story. The adventure mode is the only source of a plot to this game, and it is lacking. There's just not enough of it in Godzilla to make the story anywhere close to compelling. A deeper plot would have put some well-deserved meat on the bones of the game.

But gamers aren't going to buy this game for it's plot. They're going to buy it for it's fantastic-looking action. Have I mentioned the visuals yet? They are SWEET. Destroying cities has never looked so convincing. The animation is topnotch and the graphics are realistic. I'd say these monsters look even better in the game than they did in the movies!

And the sound...! That's where the Godzilla authenticity really shines through. Every noise the monsters make has been faithfully reproduced from the original Godzilla movies. It's not just perfect, it's nostalgic. I particularly like the sound of the beasts' feet as they walk. The use of brief but heavy bass is a great touch.

You know what? Playing Godzilla DAMM makes me want to watch the original films, as dated as they are. A game that can do that has something going for it.

big fat guys in rubber suits!...

although godzilla destroy all monsters melee (GDAMM for short) may not compare to SSBM's fast paced gameplay and items and list of playable characters, godzilla makes it up with the awesome graphics (all the cities look so realistic!) and added elements and modes (destruction mode is where you destroy as much of the city as possible, that has to be cool)(BTY, do you think i use too many parentheses?)(i do).so anyway, godzilla is more complicated than standard beat em up (such as with a few added elements such as stages and items)....
