I'm sorry that I have to say this
But
It may seem like the Wii "waggle tech" is unresponsive, but you have to learn how to do it right. From my experience, you have to kind of yeet your hand, you want to flick the Wii Remote, it works for every game I've played on the Wii.
Yep same here. Couldn’t have said it better.
In most cases, sure, Wii motion controls can be learned and work for the games they're in. This particular game is not one of them. It's actually coded very poorly. I got an emulator mod that remaps all the motion-based controls to button inputs, but the game's code is so bad that even with being able to input the exact commands for moves I wanted to do, they would still sometimes just not work. Either registering no move or the completely wrong one. Frankly, it's a crapshoot whether or not you get the move you want with this game. And that is a huge problem. Despite all it has going for it, this broken control scheme just makes it inferior to its predecessors.
This game is very enjoyable being played on Dolphin with an Xbox 360 controller. Also, Unleashed Overhaul was exactly what this game needed.
I played this on mobile lol
What was your set up for the controls?
I have to disagree tbh (recently started playing it again on dolphin) cause I plain just don't like what they did with the combat. It's just "mash heavy attacks until they die" 99% of the time and the AI is noticeably weaker than previous titles even on higher difficulties. They gutted all of the mechanics that made the combat engaging and satisfying. The wii version combat is way too shallow feeling compared to the Save the Earth combat. I unironically prefer the ps2 unleashed over the wii version for those reasons.
I personally loved unleashed the most. Started with melee and went straight to unleashed because as a kid i didnt have access to the systems for save the earth. I got really good with the motion controls they never bothered me. Surprisingly i found it more fluent. Yes there were annoying points. And i loved the increased roster. Hated the limited levels. But i liked the gameplay of the monsters more than anything. Wish they would make a modern day big budget, great graphics and controls. Open world giant rostered godzilla game that's a mix between save the earth, unleashed and the ps4. Being able to go anywhere and explore the planet and fight monsters in the world as you find them to unlock them. Fly anywhere without much limit with flying monsters. Swimming around with godzilla. I get the godzilla games are never given proper budgets. But if they just go all out, and make it a full blown monster experience. It would probably make money. Maybe have a Japanese company and a big american studio work together to make something amazing.
This is probably a lot better playing on dolphin mapping the motion controls to buttons. It looks really fun besides the controls.
You can map to motion controls to a controller? I didnt even know that was possible
There is a guy who is retooling the entire game. He added classic controller and gamecube controller options and updated the textures. ruclips.net/video/xUhRaTWPWbQ/видео.html
@@ToasterNinja I seen that I'm so hyped to try that when I get a good PC
@@GoofyPoptart Dolphin can run on most Laptops. Your current PC is probably strong enough.
@@ToasterNinja Nope it actually can't :( I tried I wish, my laptop is from 2006 and the processor aged way to much Im so upset I can't wait to upgrade.
This was my childhood bro
This feels like it could have benefited from more testing, and a larger budget. I remember when this came out and when I first played as a kid, I struggled with the motion controls.
If anything is a childhood game, it’s this. Love this game
I remember being excited for this game until they said that it was motion control only.
I don’t care what anyone says, I love this game. Yeah it can be unresponsive but I felt like it was a good change up compared to the other 2 pipeworks games
My childhood right here. Didn't play this but I did play the previous version on the ps2. Wish modern godzilla games went for this formula, there's no reason to not make a new godzilla fighting game with this moveset.
Anyone else realize the human female is Jen Taylor? Cortana and Dr. Halsey? lol
Robert Plattner foreal? I never knew that
I would buy this for Cortana alone.
She's also voiced as Princess Peach and Salem from RWBY.
I'm a sucker for giant monster games, so I'm biased about this game
Honestly the motion made it that much more fun and impactful although the downsides you stated are a fact
You probably lost some weight fighting with the motion control 😂
This is my favorite of the trilogy as it's the one I played the most and when I was young I liked making custom battles watching the A.I. fight each other. I enjoyed the story for what it was it reminded me of the movies. I didn't have that much of a problem with the controls but I do think Melle was better with them. I haven't played Save the Earth as me and my brother didn't get it until a few years ago and it's his and I haven't had the time to get around to it.
I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t mind the controls
controls were fraking awful
Nah, I don’t mind the controls either. I’m playing the game rn and I’m having a blast with Gigan lmao
Another issue with this game is the balance. The previous two games weren't the most balanced fighting games, but since this one was rushed out the door it's much worse.
If you look at the video, you notice that nobody is blocking the breath attacks like in previous games. Well that is because you can't block in this game. Breath attacks don't have the knock back they used to, but since you can't block the only thing you can do when hit with a breath attack is try to push through it and hit the other monster out of it, meaning you will still take a lot of damage. A couple monsters, I think it's the Mecha Godzillas, still have the knock back for their beam attacks, so they are blatantly overpowered.
But there is something else in the game that smokes them when it comes to poor balance. Destroyah's horn beam, which in previous games cost energy. That attack was a pain because Destroyah could knock you down and spam it, over and over, until he no longer had the energy to use the attack anymore. In Unleashed, it the horn laser doesn't cost energy anymore so there is nothing to stop Destroyah from spamming it.
Yeah they gutted the blocking system and removed low block which removed a lot of the balance from the game. They also changed all the combos which made certain kaiju significantly worse than before. Like Rodan has literally nothing going for him in unleashed but was one of the best close combat brawlers in terms of combos in previous entries. The combat is noticeably less beefy and the hits feel noticeably less powerful. There also isn't really any form of commitment to attacks. Most attacks are so quick there's zero punishes in the game. It's like a fighting game if you removed every single aspect that makes a fighting game good.
I think there are adapters for PS2 controllers so we can "fix" the game's controlls.
The roster is great, but the controls and general lack of polish bog things down.
This game would have been perfect if it could use the GameCube controller...... Maybe one day
Roster was great but the controls squandered all the potential to have fun with it.
If we got, fighting mechanics of Destroy All Monsters Melee, controls and additional features of Save The Earth and the graphics, music and character roster.
We might get a amazing Godzilla game.
He forgot how busted destroyah was in this game. Still love it though.
Most OP Charakter ever
IMO the only good thing about this game is that it clearly shows the big problem with making Godzilla games and what fans can expect...I get Godzilla on PS4 isnt really a jaw dropping kaiju game,and those damn generators still haunt me in my nightmares...But is this really what the fans expected or even wanted in that game??Big giant monsters flying all over the place with little to no reaction from the environment??Skyscrapper giants jogging and running like football players??Buildings that are as stiff as cardboard boxes??Monsters with MMA like fighting stances??Exaggerated movesets that make the monsters seem less massive than they should??
Maybe its just me,when I think of a Godzilla game...I wanna relive exactly what Godzilla went through in the movies based on the era they are portraying...If it was based around the 60's or 70's Godzilla films then gameplay like this could sit well for me,just add more Showa era themes to the game...But since the game developers love using the Heisei era and Millenium era Godzilla (Eras where Godzilla focused more on grounded,close and long ranged attacks and not weightless throws and combos) as it's main selling points around the time...Don't the overall feel of this game seem just a little too idk goofy??Again I might just be a simulation type of gamer but I also loved Destroy All Monsters and kinda digged Save The Earth so why does Unleashed seem like such a far cry from the other 2??
I loved this game so much
The Wii graphics seem to be on par with the Sony PS2. I liked the PS2 version playing against my daughter. Even though I lost every time!
I appreciate the measured review on this. All the other reviews on YT are annoying as hell.
Goddammit, do you mean GodzillaDammit!
I thought it was GameCube controller alternative? That's probably why I don't remember it, even though I have the game. I remember the ps2 STE and Unleashed but I don't remember motion controls on the game. I lost my Wii because of my roommate years ago but I didn't lose my Wii games, lol. I lost my ps1 ps2 and GameCube games and systems though.
aw HELL yeah
I like the fact they add mechagodzilla 74-75,titanosaurus,biollante,varan,king caesar,godzilla 54😊
This seems like something I would buy for $10 to play with friends as a joke
This game is honestly one of my favorite Godzilla games
I grew up with the wii and I’ve adapted a lot to motion controls
My only complaint is the story is so boring and graphics and that’s it
The pros are very large roster pretty high replay value and the difficulty is a lot more fair than the disgrace destroy all monsters melee.
The musics good and this game is pretty underrated even though is is an amazing game
No
Thinking motion controls are awesome and the way of the future is such a 2007 thing to think
The PS2 version has a VERY limited roster to choose from.
James Vontin No doubt. If they for some reason re-released this gane and transferred this roster to the PS2 version, simply put the best game out of the trilogy.
Definitely it would've been cool to have had all of them on the ps
@@marcoscabrera8324 word. Even some exclusives would have improved the value of the PS2 version by a great deal.
@@misaelroque1223 or even some exclusive monsters.
Two videos in a day? Madness
If this game had a tier list Destoroyah would be SSS because his orange energy sword was stupid op
luckily the AI didn't know how op he was
Had there been the option for non motion controls I'd forgive the lack of stages compared to Save The Earth. It's not like having standard control options in Wii games was a foreign concept. I hope they were forced to do that, because otherwise they sabotaged their own game.
War of the monsters is better right?
Anyone can reccomend me some wii and gamecube games please
hulk ultimate destruction
The Wii version of this game is my favorite. The kaiju model's are way better. The game has way more monsters then the other 2 versions, and yes I know it has motion controls, but you get used to it when you play it long enough. I also do knew that it does not have the animated cut scenes such as from Godzilla save the earth, and instead just uses concept art, but as a kid and even now I don't care. I just like being any of the Toho monsters and just beating up other kaijus or destroying a city. I never played the PS2 version, but I have played the DS and oh man that one sucks ass! When I saw stuff for Godzilla unleashed and then I heard that they made a DS game for it. I thought oh I can play Godzilla unleashed on my hand-held on the go. Well I was disappointed, and I know I'm not the only one. I also never played Godzila Destroy All Monsters melee, or Godzilla Save The Earth, but I should.
Yeah but its got King Caesar on Wii so it gets a pass for me.
Should get a remake for ps 5
Motion controls should not be required for fighting games. They should always be fucking optional or only stick to quick time event clashes.
Can you look at Rain World🐌
Even the AI in a game bullies the hell out of Titanasaurous.
Are they...
A L I E N S H I P S ?
version wii is good, the version playstation in not too much
Mario lee it because the wii was a next gen console at the time and Nintendo put more money into this game for advertising and ps2 version was just a little update for saves the earth with the same roster with just two new monsters one being obsidian and a exclusive ps2 monster being battra
Yeah this is easily the weakest game in the trilogy. The glitches, controls why Wii let this pass?
Ah yes, the glitches. Using Godzilla 2000's jumping kick (the one where he uses both legs) it's possible to clip through the barriers of Seattle and Osaka and explore beyond the boundary.
The Wii has more monsters then ps2
The only thing the PS2 has that the Wii doesn't is Batra (which is just a reskin of Mothra with an actual beam attack) and Gigan looks like his original design
So ya I prefer the Wii version
@@gristlyknave831 not only thing,gameplay is way to much better than wii
Theres a psp version as well. I wonder how that is?
That got cancelled. It never got released.
@@gamerplayer8882 what’s psp
@@luigitimeryan6865 The PlayStation Portable?
I play the ps2 version so I enjoy it more than you
You're missing a lot of monsters.
Second
Th is game sucks compared to others because Atari rusher pipeworks. Want a good version get the mod by gojirex
Horrible: no. Weakest link: yes
I hated the ps2 version, it felt like a rip-off
ps2 version better gameplay,yea just 2 new monsters,but choice is..better gameplay and controls or more content
@@HORROR-vt1gm I played through this game on the Wii (back before my dog jumped on it) and I never once had issues with Wii motion control. I remember going to parties bringing the game and my pals and their pals had zero issues with the controls. the thing that everyone gets wrong when playing this game and reviewing it is your wrists always get in the way of the motion. the second you learn to lock your wrists from excess movement is the moment you realize that before when you swing the remote in any of the 4 directions the game has, your wrists are dragging behind or sub-consciously directing it's self in the wrong direction for more motion. it follows the same principle of when people answer 1 turn for the question "How many times do you turn when changing lanes on the highway?" The answer is that you turn into the lane then you turn the opposite way to correct your direction. It sounds simple but you wouldn't believe how many people get that wrong. if you have a working Wii system unlike myself and you own this game for the Wii, I would reamend taking another shot at it, but this time, try to use the motion controls with your wrists blocked so they can't interfere when you play the game. you will get a better appreciation for the Wii motion controls.
gameplay really poorly..sad,even if they do controller system..is still poorly,why they change gameplay?no more punch to sent fly opponent,no more feel the power of the breathe attack when you can also sent opponent to fly..really sad,ps2 version is better gameplay..but that all...
