But if Destoroyah really starts beatin' you up, go to a wide open space, and if he's far enough away, charge your special attack to THE MAXIMUM (press & hold black button when gauge is completely full). But if you have Anguirus, since his roar special attack is short range, let him try your spiked back. Anyways, controls aren't that bad, though because of using every button but Back(maybe so), recommended for Ages 10+. Several people talk about certain games as in stupid comments like "Oh! The graphics are bad! So don't buy this!" If it effects the game's fun, yeah, but some don't even tell how fun it actually is! My fun rating for this game: 7 of 5 stars! I just sat upstairs constantly on the Xbox and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle(GameCube) a break! I thought it was unbeatable! Melee Mode(Xbox only-mode) was my favorite mode. Team Battle was similar. You could be on the red or blue team and you did the same thing you do in Melee Mode: get points! Knock down a monster: 100 points. KO an opponent: 500 points. Style points: 50 points. Health Bonus(if tied with other monster(s)): (depends on health). Plus, unlike other games, the monsters don't all have the same attacks.(except ones like Godzilla 90's and Godzilla 2000, King Ghidorah and Mecha King Ghidorah) This is Xbox Live compatible for new content. Fighting fan or not, fun for everyone!

Good With Minor Issues

Firstly, the game is fun. It isn't as fast paced or responsive as some of the fight games out today, but in some ways I like that because I don't have to memorize insanely huge combos. The monsters are all good and reasonably well balanced. The Single Player game is somewhat short. Fighting the computer is difficult at first, but then becomes rather too easy. Another annoyance is the fact that you have to unlock monsters to use them and you only start off with like 2 monsters. I don't mind unlocking monsters, but at least give us a little more 'starting' variety.

THE BAD
There are some small but definite balancing issues. King Ghiddorah is the most powerful monster by far. When flying, he can shoot you, and this shot is not wimpy. What is more, he can shoot you like this three times in a row before his energy runs out. Then all you have to do is run away from your opponent and recharge. Lather rinse repeat. They can't stop you. There is no 'wind up' to this flying shot. You leap in the air and instantly fire. Reacting in time is impossible against a half-way decent opponent. But even if you block the shot it still doesn't seem to stop the damage.

Rodan has some of the same balance issue. However, his shot doesn't do as much damage and flying sucks his energy much faster so it isn't as big a deal.

Destroyah's energy katana is another ability that can be abused. It is fast and 'stuns' you as well as knocking you down. It also does a LOT of damage. So as long as Destroyah has energy and gets in close enough you are hard pressed to avoid losing a good 20% of your health bar when facing an opponent that knows how to pull this move.

Mechagodzilla's missiles do a TON of damage. If you are on your feet and careful you can avoid them easily enough, but if you get cornered or knocked down and he hits you with a full spread then you lose a good 35% of your health. That's a LOT. Considering that no other monster can do damage at that magnatude it is a little unfair - especially considering he gets THREE missile loadouts at the beginning of each round. So basically until your opponent fires off all his missiles you are dancing around trying your best to make sure you never ever get cornered.

But the most annoying balance issue is MechaGhiddorah. His special shot makes your monster pause, scream, and drains ALL your energy. What is more, it doesn't matter what you are doing if he hits you. If you are on the ground and you get hit with this thing you get up, pause, scream, and get drained. So it is essentially 3 free 'grabs' your opponent gets if he ever lands this thing on you. That's a ton of damage and it is very frustrating.

Considering that Godzilla, Orga, Megalon, Anguilas, and Gigan don't have anything close to this ability to strip 20+% of an opponent's health in one shot it is a litte wampus.

This is not rampage, its a fighter with monsters

I was looking for a party game with simple mindless bashing and point scoring like Rampage, but this was more like street fighter 2 with monsters. The sound is great, but the destruction of buildings is not "messy" and the gameplay is languid. Other fighting games out there are better IMO, but it is unique in that it has monsters.

This game is, in a word, REPETITIVE. You do the exact same thing over and over. Oh look, a giant monster is attacking, why I think I'll smash a few buildings and smack that monster around. Oh look, I beat the last level and the next one looks exactly the same. What's that? Another monster attacking, why I think I'll smash a few buildings and smack that monster around. Yea, I beat that level. Oh look a monster is attacking, why I think I'll do the EXACT same thing that I've done for the last fifty levels. Who created this? A five year-old? This game is so stupid that it is actually insulting. Don't even waste the money on a rental.

Best Godzilla Game to date

This is one of the best Godzilla games to date. I highly recommend the Xbox version or GCN version if your a fan of Godzilla.

Excellent graphics(all though the GCN could be better)and it's a blast to play as any of the monsters my favorite being Kiryu aka MechaGodzilla 3. I bought a GCN for this game but no sooner than I had done so I found out that it was going to be ported to xbox.

One of the good things about the Xbox version is it supports custom soundtracks, it's really great to play this game while your favorite Godzilla scores are playing in the back ground.

Excellent game a must have if your a fan of fighting games or monster movies.

Godzilla is so-so

This game is fun for about a week then it gets repetative and boring it is also to hard once you really get into the game. Hard mode is a total waste of time to try to beat and isnt worth the effort when you can use codes for all chacters and infinte life. Only buy this game if you love godzilla or are rich.

"NOT MUCH MORE YOU CAN ASK FOR!", This game has alot of depth for a fighter. What I mean buy that is you have to have a strategy when you take on your opponent. No button mashing here,if you do you will lose very quickly. You must use the battlefield and time your attack right.You must also use a mesh of long and short rang attacks, use the power ups that appear both to help you and keep from your enemy.The Look and feel is perfect and the sounds "WOW" they bring back some good old memories. Botom line, I am a very picky game player I only spend time on the best (the reson I have a XBOX) If a game is even mildly good I will return or sell it so knowing that I will be not only keeping this awsome game but making it one I will be playong as long as I still play games A VERY SATISFYING FIGHTING GAME. -Jason

This game rocks especially with the cheat codes!!

I have been a fan of Godzilla for years and I began to beg my mom to by it for me the moment the add came on. When I finally got the game a month later, I put the game on and I was dissapointed when I found out that I only started with Godzilla 90`s, Megalon, and Anguirus. But I got more monsters as the yeat went by. I finally only had to unlock Rodan, Mechagodzilla, and Orga. I soon found out the cheat codes and I played this game at least 2 hours a day. If you are a fan of Godzilla, this is definatly a game for you!!

dont even bother

sure its fun if you are a fan of the movies, but this has to be the most frustrating games i have played all year. Its worth a rental, but not worth buying. I recommend War of the Monsters if you want a decent monster fighting game.

GREAT with the Cheat Codes

I found this game pretty frustrating and generally unplayable till I got the cheat codes from the internet. Playing as invincible got me through the impossible levels and let me enjoy creating mayhem within the wacky story line (which is actually better than some of those old sci-fi movies). Also, the cheat that unlocks all levels and monsters makes this an awsome multiplayer, where players can gang up on each other or the CPU with many varied scenes and monsters. Fight as all natural monsters against the Mechanical CPU. Best is multiplayer destruction, with all the characters trying their best to detsroy major cities.
