Godzilla Unleashed on Wii

Let me preface this by saying that I'm a big Godzilla fan who enjoyed the previous two entries into this series, "Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee" and "Godzilla Save The Earth" even though they were flawed games. I have been awaiting "Godzilla Unleashed" since summer and it is one of the reasons I picked up a Nintendo Wii.

While "Godzilla Unleashed" is far from a perfect game, I am very happy with it and would recommend it without reservations to any Godzilla fan. The game features an almost perfect roster of Toho monsters, some of whom have never appeared in a video game before. The game also features innovative controls that make use of the Wiimote/nunchuck setup and a nonlinear story mode in which choices made during the game influence what you encounter later in the story. And, of course, there are many options for multiplayer which has always been the cornerstone for these Atari Godzilla games. All of the above are executed with varying levels of quality.

My criticisms of the game are that the controls are a little tricky to master (but that may not be a bad thing), the story mode and crystal power ups are needlessly complicated, the system for unlocking new monsters is hilariously arcane (buy x faction and use x monster on x day and destroy three crystals x then go back the next day and fight another monster during the new moon then circle around three times then say MOGUERA three times while facing north) and I much preferred the more straight forward system used in DAMM where completing the game with different monsters unlocks new monsters. I would have been honestly happy with a graphically improved version of STE with more monsters and a simpler version of this single player mode.

But ultimately all of that doesn't take too much away from the experience of the game. As a Godzilla fan, there is an undeniable thrill from seeing new characters like Biollante, Titanosaurus, Varan, and the orginal 70's Mechagodzilla (who is animated with all of his stiffly robotic glory) appear in the game. Next time they need to throw in Zilla and Hedorah to have a perfect roster.

Godzilla is Definitely Unleashed

This is a great game for the Nintendo Wii! I had been anticipating this game through out its development. Finally playing it was a pleasant surprise. It's an action game with a melee brawl feel and is a great deal of fun. You will play in large city stages with monsters who are pretty much faithful to the look of their movie counterparts. The are new enhancements like Critical Mass, Power Surges and a layered attack system that are step ups from the first two Atari Godzilla games. You won't find much disappointment at all in this game and it is a lot of fun to play with friends in a Wii party. Even playing alone, there is a lot there to make it worthwhile. With a large cast of monsters for the Wii version, you will find and establish favorites soon enough. For those wondering if you can play a brawl or fighting game with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk, the answer is yes! I was concerned at first, as I have played mostly fighting and action games and that is pretty much my video game library. The game does have an in-game tutorial and you can explore around and learn the basics of putting all the movements and button presses together. Its as easy as playing Wii sports which so many Wii owners love (like I do)!

There is a lot of strategy to this action brawl game and you can have 4 customizable game play modes. You can increase speed or decrease speed of the monsters and also their sizes. You can influence the intensity that the military will attack you, along with determining what types of vehicles that resist your attack on the cities. You can also forge alliances with monsters in the game. You as the player dictates how the game responds to you.

You won't regret buying this game! :)

An Awesome Game for any Wii Owner!

This is the best Godzilla game that has come out to date!
It includes an all star cast including the original 1954 Godzilla, Jet Jaguar and Biollante!

This game was built from the ground up for the Wii. The monster renderings are superb and the controls add an entirely new dimension. This is not a button masher...on the contrary, actions from lifting the controllers to raise buildings or executing a super punch with a swinging movement are done with the remote. If you you allow yourself to flow with the motions, you will be fine.

Also, options included in this game are speed controls and military might - in other words, you can select to have the army bypass you during battles or have them fire missles and laser at you and your opponents! - believe me, you feel like you are in the titan monster movies!

In the end, this is more than just a fighting game, but an experience for all Wii owners. Pick this one up today - whether you play solo mode or with a friend, you will monsterous good time!

I shall first say that i am a godzilla fan and I've gotten Godzilla Domination and Destroy all monsters melee and Save the Earth. all those were good games, but after you play this , there is no other godzilla game better. This is incredible to play and the story mode is absolutely fantastic! There are four different factions for the game. There are Earth Defenders, Which are monsters like godzilla and mothra, rodan, and anguirus. then there are The Global Defense Force, Which are robotic monsters like kiyru and mechagodzilla. then there are Mutants like biollante and destroyah. then ther are the Aliens, like gigan and King ghidorah. The choices you make in the story affect who your allies are, and the faction you play as affects the outcome of the game. This game is very long, so unlocking things may take some time. WARNING: there is a little language in the game, i just thought I should point that out. So all in all this game Is THE BEST GODZILLA GAME EVER!!

This is more than any Big G fan could ask for. The roster is amazing for this game 26 monsters in all. The boards and monsters all look great and the controls work pretty well. This was the reason I bought a Wii and I was not disappointed I don't see how they could top this one I definitely reccomend this to any and all Godzilla fans.

This Game is awesome

I was surprised at how much fun Godzilla Unleashed has been for me and my family. The game action is great, its easy to understand and start using. if you are a fan of the Godzilla movies, then you will love this. When you first start playing this game it only gives you access to a few monsters, you have to get to new levels and earn points to "buy" new monsters, or locations to fight in. all in all i would highly recommend this to anyone that loves Godzilla, it might not be as much fun for someone not as familiar with the characters. I have only played this on the Wii, I don't know if its as much fun on other platforms.

LONG LIVE KING GHIDORAH!

This game is very cool. A much bigger upgrade from "Saves the Earth" however you MUST get this game for the Wii as you can see the reviews for the ps2 version are awful. Lot's more monsters in this, around 26 I believe, they have all the classic godzilla monsters, including Gigan, Rodan , mothra etc. The graphics are superb, from the water to the monsters- it all looks great King Ghidora (my personal favorite monster) looks absolutly awesome! As good as this game is there are a few flaws in my opinion...

1. The targeting system is not the best, I find myself accidently attacking my allies instead of the enemy monster at times or completly missing my fully charge range attack.

2. Health regain and cut scenes! As you may no you ragain your health overtime infact quite rapidly when not in combat. In the campaign when your fighting a monster and a new one appears the game goes into a minor cut scene and introduces the new monster, while not a huge issue..the monster i'm fighting at the time regins almost half of it's hp during the cut scene.

3. Monster Unlocks!!! While most of the monsters are simple to get a few of them require you to do some annoying things...example, do campaign with x monster of x faction and beat x level then come back to x level and destroy the x building and defeat x monster. Not all the monsters are this complicated to unlock but a few are... this can get a bit annoying.

But despite these issues this is a great game!!!

If your a fan of the previous two of the series then you will absolutly love this.

Awesome game!!!

I just got this game and absolutely LOVE IT!!! My ONLY complaint is the the control scheme. I have become used to it, however I only wish the developers would have allowed us players to map the controls per preference rather than the default setting. It's not that the controls are too hard to learn, just that I'd rather use the C or Z button for jumping, and the B botton for grabbing (buildings and monsters) instead of manuevering the nunchuck or both controllers to do these tasks. It's just my own personal preference, that's all. Otherwise the game is great!! I love the line up of monsters (4 or 5 more would have been even better...Kamakurus,Gorgosaurus,Manda,Kumunga,Zilla,Hedora...) but they've included Varan,Titanosaurus and Biolante...so that makes up for everything!!! The levels are HUGE!!!! Much bigger that DAMM or SOTE, and just a little smaller than War of the Monsters. Finally, the graphics are awesome as well. I LOVE ALL the ATARI GODZILLA games and this one is right up there!! I hope the Virtual Console imports the NES,SNES and Turbo Graphix Godzilla titles to tie in with this. Those games totally rock too!!!

if you absolutely have to own this game, wait for it to hit the bargain bins. it looks like it should be fun, but the controls are really confusing. the levels end abruptly and there isn't a lot of incentive to unlock stuff.

This is a game I bought for my 17 year old son. I wasn't sure it was the right game but when he opened it he was amazed that I ordered the exact game he had mentioned. He was so happy. Toys for older kids are not easy to choose. Thanks for your help with all of my Wii selections!
