This game is fun but sometimes can get fustrating. Sometimes its satisfying beating down a tough monster. There is an Adventure mode but however, defeating a monster won't unlock it. I disliked the part of the game a lot. There are a few cool cities you can fight in though, like London. The sound effects are loud and exiting. Overall, this is the type of game I'd just rent.

This is EXACTLY what a Godzilla game should be! After years of bad games and even some strategy games (WTF?) Godzilla is done justice. This is exactly what you think it is, gigantic monsters beating each other senseless while cities crumble around them. The game feels like a WWE game with it's combo of strikes and grabs, but it's much simpler and easy to learn. Maybe too simple for a gamer looking for complexity. But younger players and ESPECIALLY lontime Godzilla fans must try this game out.

By today's standards, the graphics to this game aren't the best, but this game is still as fun as the best fighting games out there. The thing about this game is that you don't have to be a fan of Godzilla to enjoy it. I have been a fan, however, of Godzilla for many years. But, who doesn't like being monsters and destroying the city in an all out brawl? The story pokes fun at itself by having weird looking aliens that have comedy to them as they threaten to take over the world using the monsters from Monster Island. Like I said, it is funny (intentionally) and a nice homage to the Godzilla films of the 60s and 70s. Compared to the more recent release of "Save the Earth", the selection of monsters seems limited, but I argue the fact that perhaps the monsters look better on this game during gameplay than they do in its sequel. Overall, this is a fun game to have but the exact same game as "Godzilla: Save the Earth. The only difference is that this game has less monster selections to choose from and less cities to destroy with no mini games at all compared to the other. So, if you have the other game already, you basically have a better version of this when it comes to quantity. If you are a fan of classic Gamecube games or don't have the other game, then is will be fun to have in your collection.

Good mindless fun

I played this with my friend! It was sooooo fun! I like that you can pick up steel girders and boulders and even the other monster! I kept on picking up this boulder, and throwing it at my friend yelling, "PLAY TOY!!!" It hurt him and it was fun, destroying half the city!

Best Gamecube Game Ever

This is the best Gamecube game ever. But it is much more than that. It is quite possibly the GREATEST SINGLE GAME EVER CREATED IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

I do not exagerrate. This game alone is worth the cost of a Nintendo Gamecube, or Xbox or whatever. The sheer amount of raw, unadulterated FUN that this game packs is unprecedented.

The game can be played in several modes:

ADVENTURE (1-Player)
SURVIVAL (1-Player)
VERSUS (1-2 Players)
MELEE (2-4 Players)
DESTRUCTION (2-4 Players)
TEAM BATTLE (2-4 Players)

The game is plenty fun on its own, but really shines in multiplayer. There's nothing quite like getting a handful of friends together to totally trash a city and each other. This game is basically a wrestling game using giant monsters. There's nothing quite as satisfying as picking up a building, hurling it through the air, having it whack your opponent in the head like a sack of bricks, and sending him to the ground.

Adventure Mode (the single-player mode) is very fun. It is hard at first, but gets better and better. Every time you beat it, you unlock a monster. When you beat it with the new monster, you unlock another monster, and so on and so forth.

The graphics in the game are fantastic. The small details of cars and trucks exploding at the monsters' feet are wonderful. The game also features a lot of nice touches, such as planes and helicopters shooting missles at the monsters, tanks shooting freeze weapons, and UFO's flying through the air. The humans usually aim for whichever monster is doing the most city destruction.

Each monster in the game has its own strenths, weaknesses, and quirks. And I've been playing this game for over a year and still haven't found all the quirks.

1. GODZILLA 90's - One of the best monsters overall. Average speed, good strength, good range, and the longest-range breath weapon.

2. GODZILLA 2000 - Not a lot of difference over the other Godzilla, if you ask me. Looks a little cooler.

3. ANGUIRUS - Cool little spiky guy who runs on all fours and can roll around. Very fast, good brawler. Can dodge breath weapons well, but has poor range for his own breath weapon.

4. MEGALON - Has a few cool tricks up his sleeve. A very good fighter. Not the best ranged weapons, but can dig which more than makes up for it.

5. GIGAN - Is fast and agile. Can teleport. Also has very long range eye-beam weapon. Not the greatest brawler, but not bad either.

6. RODAN - Rodan is my personal favorite. Can fly, swooping back and forth all over the flippin' map. Can do some great air attacks. Is very fast and regenerates energy quickly.

7. DESTROYAH - Extremely good brawler. Very strong. (You'd best get away :) His breath weapon has poor range.

8. KING GHIDORAH - Can fly a bit. Has good range for his weapon. Is a good brawler, but is a bit slow.

9. MECHA-KING GHIDORAH - Same as King Ghidorah, but also features stun missles. Don't forget to use 'em!

10. MECHA-GODZILLA - Awesome monster. Can fly. Has powerful ranged attacks and is a very powerful brawler. Only has 2 slight weaknesses. One is that his fighting range is not always the greatest (Godzilla's tail is longer, for instance.) Another is that he is very reliant on energy. It regenerates quickly, but if you are ever totally out, in a pinch you may find yourself sunk.

11. ??? - (Mystery Monster)

The game also features:

Mothra: The "Mothra Airstrike!" Powerup is quite cool. Mothra comes in and starts zapping you or your opponent. Some reviewers have complained that you can't play as Mothra. I think this complaint is unjustified. This is a wrestling melee game. Mothra doesn't even have any arms and legs, for crying out loud! Any attempt to make her a playable character sounds pretty ill-advised to me. Sorry, but I just can't see her laying the smack down and doing The People's Eyebrow.

Hedorah - The Smog Monster: This guy does make an appearance. He floats through the air at random occasionally and, for lack of a better word, passes gas above the heads of the monsters. If a monster touches the gas, his energy regeneration is worsened.

Besides the monsters, the game has other unlockables such as arenas featuring Monster Island and the Alien Mothership, as well as a huge artwork image Gallery. (Sorry folks, but in spite of what some have said there is no "Godzilla 80's" to unlock. I've read every FAQ on the net, and there is no "Godzilla 80's" cheat.)

There are some special moves that you should know about, as well as a few tips:

1. Megalon's digging. This is a very powerful trick. The goal of this is to use the digging to tunnel right under an opponent, then hit A+B to pick him up and throw him. To dig, hit A+Y. That will send you underground.

2. Gigan's teleporting. To teleport behind your opponent, hit L+R together. Alternatively, you can hit A+Y.

3. Rodan's air swoop. There is a nice aerial attack that Rodan can do. Fly over an opponent, and then hit X while you are still in the air. You will do a flip and slam him.

4. Grabbing tanks and trains. Don't forget to pick them up and throw them.

5. Leg Whack. If you've been knocked down, don't forget to hit X to slam into your opponent as you get up. You will be surprised at how often your friends will fall for this dirty little trick.

6. Survival Mode. The best arena for survival mode is London. The reason is because it has so much stuff to throw, and you will need it all to survive if the arena is not set to regenerate. You can throw Big Ben at your opponent, and that side has lots of walls to throw. On the other side, there is a train station with lots of train cars to throw.

I only have 3 complaints about this game:

1. Jet Jaguar is not in it. (He is in Godzilla vs. Megalon - the best Godzilla movie ever).

2. Ebirah is not in it. (The giant lobster from Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster).

3. There is no AI available to fight alongside you in Team Battles. There are codes for this on the Xbox version, but not on the Gamecube. It would have been really nice to have an AI partner, since my so-called "friends" tend to all gang up on me every time we play this game :)

Now to vent a little:

Some reviewer, "Paul Thiem", called this game "flawed" and gave it 1 Star. 1 Freakin' Star! Give me a break.

He complained about the camera angle, which is pretty trite. I'm getting sick of people complaining about camera angles in every other review they give. It doesn't matter how good the game is, SOMEBODY has to complain about the camera angle. Well let me just say that the camera angle in this game is WORKS GREAT and you've got NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. Get a life, people.

He also complains about transparent buildings. But if the buildings weren't transparent when you were right up beside them, you wouldn't be able to see your monster. Don't you know he would be complaining if that were the case? For sure. You can't have it both ways, pal.

Then he complains about Adventure mode sometimes not always putting you in the most advantageous of starting positions. This just sounds like plain old whining to me.

Then he whines that Godzilla is a "Priveleged Monster" who won't let you pick him up. Well, give me a break! So the computer AI is pretty darn smart. Well isn't that we all WANT in a game?

He complains that the Gallery doesn't do anything and you can't view any of the pictures. That's because you haven't unlocked them yet!!! You are not yet worthy of viewing them. And yes, this IS mentioned in the instruction manual where it says to be sure to collect the Atari icons hidden in the game to unlock special features. I've unlocked about half of the Gallery items myself. It requires patience and persistence, but not even that much. It's called "Replay Value."

He complains that you can't save in the middle of adventure mode. Huh? A good player can beat Adventure Mode in less than half an hour. Why would somebody ever need to save in the middle? Unless they are just lousy at the game, don't want to learn it, and need a save crutch to get by.

He then complains that you can't see the high scores menu. Just go to "Options" and select the high scores menu. Was that really so difficult? I can't believe that because this guy can't figure out how to get to the high scores menu, he wants to give this game 1 star.

Apparently it is true that you can't please everybody. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee is one of the best games, if not the best game ever. At least I know that 99% of the other reviewers here appreciate how truly great this game is! This game is LOTS of fun and has a VERY HIGH replay value, especially in multiplayer games. Highly Recommended.
