Revisiting Godzilla On PS4 - Why It Doesn't Deserve The Hate (Game Review)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2018
- When Godzilla (or Godzilla VS as it's also called) was released on the PS3 and PS4, it was critically panned for being outdated, repetitive, and shallow. And while all of this is true to a certain extent, as a Godzilla game is does a better job adapting the tone and style of the Japanese films than perhaps any Godzilla video game that came before it.

FYI, this game is no longer in print, so you probably won't be able to get a cheap copy :(
Could import it from Japan
That's sad because if a new G fan wants to play it they probably won't have the opportunity to now. :(
I own it so I’m good
Godzilla unleashed was fun and really cool in my opinion
There's no reason for the game controls to have been this shity
Godzilla is approaching the generator! The generator is losing power!
Angry Joe is that you?
Not only was there a good godzilla game on the game cube. But there is also war of the monsters.
Raising the disaster level
This is hilarious. That does get annoying but I love the game.

Sorry, had to nerd out there
@@Ecl1ps0_ I already get what you mean
I wish it had gotten Shin Gojira DLC
Brian Watson that'll be awesome to see
Wouldn't mind a Zilla DLC too, just to have 2014 Godzilla take him on
@@ReluctantWarrior Zilla wouldn't work at all for this game. All he does is running around, basically he is the opposite of the usual Godzilla monsters.
@@BenniRoR Oh, he doesn't have to be playable. Just another kaiju to beat up on.
@@ReluctantWarrior Haha, now that I can agree on. ^^
If this game was like $20 to maybe $30 feel like peoples attitude would be different towards it.
I paid the discount prince of 5€
I paid 20 bucks and thought it was great.
Got it for £5. Bargain
MoeUknow ikr
@@kaylefilms4823 you can find it for 20$ at gamestop or 20$ on the psn store
I liked the roster. Whether the game itself was good or bad, you could tell that it was made by a godzilla fan.
The only big downside was that Godzilla and a handful of other monsters had an actually half decent moveset. I dare you to try getting to the final stage with Showa Mechagodzilla. Some of the monsters are just so clunky and unwieldy that they're virtually unplayable in the main "campaign".
Given other aspects of the game "*a* godzilla fan" seems to be appropriate phrasing.
Too bad you can't find this game anymore in disc format without dropping 60+ dollars.
Yeah, by *a* fan and bunch of lazy game developers that were cutting all the corners to get their paychecks asap
@Godzilla Son That's not what I mean. What I mean is that you compare Showa Mechagodzilla's pool of abilities and combos to Destoroyah and you'll notice a large discrepancy.
Anyone else play Godzilla Save The Earth? Absolutely loved that game.
Play that every year on my ps2. One of the very first ps2 games I ever played in my entire life and is a very big part of my childhood.
Played destroy all monsters melee, save the earth, unleashed and this one. The previous 3 were fun to play with friends and had good replayability but despite the issues in this I do like the slower combat and the more original feel.
Those games are some of my favorites of all time. So much fun.
Still have it and the other day I saw on amazon used it was 60 dollars
@@ThadeadMFKZ6 Check out small gaming stores. Found one where I live owned and ran by like 1 lady, and they have like every ps2 game I could want for like $10. I'm going to start checking for Godzilla.
This game was $30 for like a day and otherwise has never dropped below $65
Untrue, I bought it for $15 on sale
Seen it that way multiple times too.. lol
Unless you mean physicals
Yeah not paying that for anything that's been out that long.
@@PeppaJackable It's too late to get this game anymore for anything under 100 dollars.
I didnt give a fuck, i buyed it for 50€ for the PS3, that had less content, and still its my fav game out of all i played.
That a lie, it's 35 at EB Games
It's actually a puzzle game. You have to plan out your rampage route so you're constantly destroying buildings to keep your combo meter high so you can quickly grow your kaiju. Then the opposing kaiju shows up and you have to plan how you'll fight him while destroying buildings to keep your meter up. It's not really meant to be a fighting game. But what results from this gameplay routine, and as you noted, is the rampage and kaiju battle look and feel like an authentic Toho battle.
The game needed more time in development to flesh out its features and gameplay loop to justify a full price tag. There's a better Godzilla game in this concept that we'll unfortunately never get to see. There was no good reason other than greedy cash in to port the existing game, which was an intentional low budget Japanese release, at full price.
If you're a true Toho Godzilla and videogame fan this game is a must have for the fan service it does right.
ikr
It took a year but I sold my PS5 digital and bought a disc version recently just so I could play this game again lol ...I got this game when it was only $25 in stores ...Thank goodness I still had it😅
Honestly I'm still figuring out how to do a good run with Anguirus.
Most other kaiju have moves that can close the distance between buildings well but I suck ass as Anguirus.
No local multiplayer killed it for me.
I agree that shit really fucked a nigga like me up honestly.
Seriously! What the fuck were they thinking!?
Well of course there was no local multiplayer because for the last god damn time
THIS ISNT A FUCKING FIGHTING GAME
@@gothicglypso5197 tell that to the people playing multiplayer
@Gothic Glypso um ok, But like not every game with local multiplayer is a fighting game like Mario or Halo, also it does have a multiplayer where you fight each other even if it isn’t very good, there was no reason for it to be online only, jeez did you even think before writing this comment
People really do forget that this game was designed to be a spiritual successor to Godzilla: Generations.
WatcherMovie008 originally I thought u wrote Godzilla generator
@@michaellai536 🤣
No where was that mentioned when this game came out...So...
@@megamegaO The development team behind the game stated that this game was meant to be a modern take on Godzilla: Generations.
@@WatcherMovie008 Please provide citation...I still find that hard to believe.
Thank you for being one of the few who actually understand that this is NOT a fighting game. I have gotten tired of having that argument with so many people.
the online mode is definitely combat based, god of destruction is not.
Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters Melee on the gamecube. that was my childhood and gateway into video games
Is it cheap? Last I checked on Amazon, the price was jacked up. I think it’s a rare game now.
Same. I think because they no longer make new copies and essentially "discontinued" it, copies are selling for jacked prices. Funny how this guy was saying it isnt worth it for the price, and now the price is tripled.
It is.
@@xiiiramram same
It's now worth $500, according to someone commenting on a gameplay video.
@@edorasmarauder5761it’s expensive outside of japan in Japanese gane market Godzilla ps4 I’d still widely available and cheap
Really mate? No great Godzilla games?
*Cough cough* Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee , Godzilla Save The Earth and Godzilla Unleashed. Enough said
“great Godzilla games”? Yeeeeeeesh
yes
I actually really enjoyed Godzilla Unleashed. At least that had couch multiplayer. Unlike this one
do you know any recent ones on the new gen consoles and not the old ones?
@@Leostar-Regalius The only next gen Godzilla game is this one. Sorry, pal
In my opinion, this game, while pretty flawed, was a step in the right direction for Godzilla games.
*Pros:*
The models. The monsters feel highly detailed and accurate. It succeeds in making you feel like you're playing a Godzilla movie.
The destruction. The buildings blow up not like in real life, but how they would on a Godzilla set. Really strengthens the immersion.
The movement. This is where many fans are split, but I honestly liked the tank controls and slow movement for the monsters. In many other games, they behaved more like kickboxers or wrestlers rather than building-sized kaiju.
The awareness of the source material. There's many little touches in the game that true fans can appreciate, like Jet Jaguar's theme, Mecha King Ghidorah's claw attack and the many monster entrance cutscenes that reference the old movies.
Master Of Destruction/ Evolution mode. I like that you can grow and evolve your monster with this mode. Buying New abilities and refining ones you already have gives the game a sense of progress, one of my favorite aspects in a video game.
The increasing activity of the military. The more destruction you cause, the more weapons the humans sent your way. From the usual tanks, fighter jets and battleships to submarines, mesa tanks and even Super X-1, 2, 3 and Gotengo. Especially the latter four can put you in a bad position if you're not careful.
*Cons:*
No real block ability. The closest thing we get is a temporary roar block, but that only helps you out shortly. I'd rather have a block that prevents most of the damage, but not all of it, along with attacks that are unblockable to counter it.
Boring maps. I understand that most Godzilla movies, especially the fights, mostly take place in cities. But I'd welcome a bit more color and variety. Maybe some locations from movies, or just overall new arenas that have their own rules to keep in mind.
Very limited movesets for other kaiju. The Godzilla's are the only ones that have an expandable range of attacks and abilities. All others have a set of about three or four moves at most, which makes fights with them kinda repetitive and unfair when fighting Godzilla, whether the other monsters are controlled by a player or cpu.
No customizable matches. There is only three modes of playing the game: Master Of Destruction, King Of Kaiju and Multiplayer. There should be a mode where next to your own monster, you can also pick your opponent(s), map and maybe set teams to fight with, with a max of four monsters (1v1, 2v2, 2v1, 3v1, free-for-all).
Flawed Multiplayer. While the three Monster structure is interesting, where you have to choose who to take on first, it's pretty broken in execution. The third opponent can just wait the first two out until one of them falls, and the other badly wounded one finds himself facing another enemy at peak health. Four monsters would have been more balanced, where the winners of the first two duels have to settle it with a much more intense battle at less health, kinda like what For Honor did.
No difficulty setting. If you feel over- or underwhelmed with the challenges, there's nothing you can do about it, making every run with the same monsters the same experience.
If I were to direct a Godzilla game, I would make sure to include:
1. A wider collection of *maps* ( *Tokyo,* *Osaka,* *New York,* *San* *Francisco,* *Las* *Vegas,* *Los* *Angeles,* *Sydney,* *Paris,* *London,* *Dubai,* *Arctic,* *Monster* *Island,* *Volcano* *Crater,* *Planet X* )
2. *Fully* *customizable* *battles* (opponent, arena, difficulty, amount of players, building of teams, military activity)
3. A *story*
4. A *survival* mode
5. A progressively more aggressive *military.* One that becomes more and more dangerous the longer you fight it, sort of becoming an additional opponent on the battlefield, only sparing Jet Jaguar, Mechagodzilla 2, Moguera and Mechagodzilla 3. (And maybe if a high enough military activity is reached, there's less than four monsters fighting, and at least one of these four robots isn't used by a player, they could send one of them in as a CPU-opponent.)
6. More *abilities* for the other monsters
And 7. the *biggest* *Monster* *roster* in a Godzilla game yet, divided into *character* *packs* you can purchase by progressing in the game, and some even with different unlockable *Skins* /versions with unique abilities, (like the variants in Mortal Kombat X) including:
*Character Pack I:*

MrWhatdafuBOOM YES I want to play as the cool looking Zilla! I don’t understand why Toho refuses to acknowledge it even AFTER they rebranded him making it clear he’s just another original kaiju separate from Godzilla.
@@dereknight861 See, that's the thing, that's why people hated this movie so passionately, it's a cool creature, but it's not Godzilla. Had it been named anything else, it would've passed as just an ok 90's monster movie. As James Rolfe put it best, "They were interested in the name and not the actual character". It could've also worked as a remake of 'The Beast From 20.000 Fathoms', since it's one of the originators of the genre, deserves to have a remake made and won't be as restricted since it's not as well known as Godzilla anymore. As a seperate entity, Zilla works far better.
Finally, someone who will appreciate Zilla. He’d be a great change in a Godzilla game, he’d be the fastest monster with the least health. He could have abilities like his super roar, that explodes anything and everything it comes into contact with(Yes, even monsters), and a pounce ability that could launch him incredible distances. He’d be a great fit!
@@alexchesbro Yeah, Zilla works better when being its own entity instead of trying to be Godzilla. He'd be on the speedier end of the spectrum, along with adult Mothra and Battra, Rodan, Jet Jaguar, Moguera and Megaguirus.
Would you change the destruction or add onto what’s currently here?
About time somebody understood this game the way I do
I know right? I also thought that I was alone, lol.
I still enjoy it and understood the premise
Sorry im late, but I'm here too
Wait another guy who agrees YES
Yeaaa boiii!!
This was the Godzilla game I always wanted to see. The closest thing in the past was Unleashed's story mode.
For me nothing will ever beat Godzilla Save the Earth
Same. I played that game so much as a kid, and I still go back to play it from time to time.
Fred Duwe I prefer Melee slightly due to the combat being more balanced where in Save the Earth you can spam your Beam attack more and the blocking didnt work modt of the time
the graphics worsened in StE though.. Explain that one to me. It's like they copy and pasted everything from DaM, but somehow managed to make everything look shittier.. 😩
@Mr Mistah No it really doesn't. The textures in Save the Earth are very odd. The monsters seem to just be made up of a bunch of chunky 3D polygons and are very unpolished looking. Which makes no sense considering StE came out 2 years after DaM and the graphics were just recycled and given additional textures that made the models look worse. Just look at Godzilla 2000's face.. its so ugly and inaccurate in StE compared to DaM. Destoroyah is also lacking compared to the previous game. It's because they added more monsters with such a such a small budget and then didn't have the time or funds to just make the game look more polished/finished. It's also laughable that the game is exclusive to Xbox and PS2 so it SHOULD have nicer graphics than the previous game on those consoles but it don't!
@@renna4216 Eh, PS2 is actually weaker than the GameCube so it makes sense that some stuff were downgraded. I also imagine the increased scale and complexity of the cities (there’s now elevation, for example) also ate up some of the technical budget.
Still, the game looks fine to me so really, I like Save the Earth simply for being GDAMM but more. More monsters, more arenas, more content, more everything.
This game was originally why I bought a PS4, and I never regretted it, even at its full release price. I played it constantly until everything was unlocked and all trophies earned. It definitely got a little tedious at times, but like you said in the video, it captures the feel of the movies so perfectly and I loved it for that. And what a kaiju roster! It's been a few years since I last played it, but after watching this review, I'm getting the itch again. :)
As a godzilla fan who couldn't buy this when it first came out I wish they'd remake it or make more copies I really wish I could play it but I just don't see paying $200-$500 for a single game no matter how cool it looks
Try to emulate it on RPCS3, though the PS3 version is severely lacking in content, and it's gonna take years until we get the game running on a PS4 emulator.
Anyone who bags this game honestly hasn’t played it enough. The biggest peeve I’ve heard is that Godzilla is slow and doesn’t have enough moves.. he’s slow because he’s a big colossal bastard! And it’s more akin to an rpg where the character gets better the more experienced he becomes. I platinumed this on ps3 and not far off doing the same on the PS4 version. If you’re a G fan, this game is awesome. Just beat it a few times, level up & rinse and repeat. You’ll be kicking Kaiju ass in no time!
I have tons of hours in the game and I bloody love it,I always go to play it if I'm bored
Man I played this game more than just about any other recent game and have been itching to play it some more.
I get to play this game for free because nobody at my library will rent it so I just keep renewing or renting it again and again,
Don’t bring it back it’s worth over 100 now
@@JTeK19 wait, what? I know I’m late, but why did it become so expensive?
@@projectgarchomp2380 because they discontinued it which is sad because I really wanted dlc for this game or a sequel
You've been popping up in my recommended a lot lately and I gotta say, good work man. Subbed.
Agreed, i just found him too, he has some really good content.
I wouldn't even call this an action game, I always called it a movie simulator. This game was design for the fans of the movies, but got marketed to a general audience. So game reviewers obviously tore it apart based on it's worth as a game.
Now, I adore this game's look and feel, but that platinum was painfully slow. 5 months of repetitive grinding. Also if the Daiorama Mode had not used square sets that ruined the backdrops, I'd spent days making photos of this game.
In the end, this is hands-down the most authentic Godzilla game made, you just can't go in expecting God of War.
*1:00
WE COULD JUMP IN THE GAME???
Lol😂
It's an attack for the old Godzilla but you can unlock it for the regular godzilla, it's also a dance Godzilla does in Godzilla versus monster zero
@@batguy39 poooooooogo juuuuuuump!
I switched the V.O. to Japanese. That made the game feel even more authentic.
I love this game. It reminds me of the Rampage arcade game in the 80s / 90s.
Also, your description, calling it 'Godzilla Simulator'...ON THE NOSE!!!
ALso also...at least, compared to most AAA titles, Godzilla isn't swarming with microtransactions / DLC. It is a complete game!
This game is way over $100 on Amazon. June 2019
thats dumb why did they do that xD
Grey Bar0n you can’t even buy it on the PS4 store anymore
It got unlisted and they stopped making copies, making it much more rare and harder to get
It's like $400 now. Theres a special place in hell for scalpers.
Are not gonna mention Godzilla unleashed on the wii?
Glad you made this review, communicated much of my thoughts well from when I played it. Phenomenally accurate depiction of being a Kaiju destroying a city and having a monster movie fight, not to mention a glorious roster, but it by no means should have been full price.
Just spent $175. 😭 Merry Christmas to my bf. 🤣 He's a hardcore fan though so it's worth it.
Godzilla bless you, he's a lucky guy.
He will most definitely appreciate it.
💀
He got a good one, that’s for sure...
I wish the game had more monsters like king ceasar,monster x,muto, and orga
Yes that would make great DLC
I gotta agree, this is probably the best looking ps2 game I’ve ever seen
robert adriano this is PS4
Ladarien Brown omg lol you just made this comment so much better
robert adriano hilarious and original
robert adriano its a ps4 and 3 game
You definitely sold me on it. I was questioning it and was going to get it anyway. You definitely made it so I was excited again!!
Thank you for that man.
When I upgraded to a PS4 Pro, this was one of the first games I downloaded from the PSN store as it was a deal for only £6 back in 2016.
Godzilla Unleashed for the Wii FTW!
Also you have been blessed by the recommendation gods it seems!
(Also Save the World was very good)
Jose Tomas Campos Robledano Unleashed was fun but the character models were cringeworthy, the running animations were poorly done, and the lack of original theme songs ruin the experience.
I hate that game now, they're way too fast and dont really give off a kaiju feel, the destruction isn't there either.
Alright. Let's get something straight here
Saying that something emulates an experience from a movie can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Take the Karate Kid on NES, a very blah game that's trying to be Kung Fu except a sidescroller. It does however represent the movies well in terms of how much abuse Daniel takes, be it Cobra Kai or the deviants in Miyagi's homeland. I doubt that part was intentional, at least not as intentional as this game may have been, but the point stands that you can emulate the feel of a movie and it be a negative quality.
In the case of a good example, look at how Goldeneye 007 was handled. It hit all of the major landmarks, recreated many famous sets, and handled the story with liberties by adding extra stages not involved with the main plot, or being a throwback to classic Bond films. All of that was complimented with an exiting multiplayer experience console players had never seen before and it elevated a movie tie-in game to become arguably the most influential FPS of all time with the likes of Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, Halo, and Call of Duty 4. A perfect simulation of a Bond film? Absolutely not, but it references the movie when necessary without falling into the trap so many movie tie in games today face, apathetic creativity.
If you really want to simulate a movie, at the expense of it being a good game. Make a damn movie then. Even Kojima knows that he needs to supply good gameplay despite aspiring to be a movie director and unintentionally revolutionized the stealth genre. Godzilla on PS4 deserves every ounce of the vitriol that it gets. It forgot what its job was as a video game, it was put out for 60 dollars, and thanks to their screw up the game only sold 200K copies (30K in Japan no less, it's place of origin, stunning really), a fifth of Melee's sales, a fourth of Save the Earth's sales, and matching the sales of Unleashed (a late PS2 and Wii Title).
If you insist I not hate the quality of its recreation of a Godzilla experience, then I'll throw my scorn at the fact of us not getting a decent Godzilla game again any time soon (not even as a game to import, 30K sales in Japan should be a crime against humanity).
Am i supposed to read all of this?
100% agree! The devs should be smart enough to tell the difference between a movie, a passive medium and a video game, an interactive medium. Another bad example is The Order: 1886, the forgotten PS4 exclusive. It has so much potential but the game focuses way too much on "cinematic experience" it flops and panned. Unlike Uncharted series where those have the right balance.
Good to know there's someone out there with common sense on game design.
THANK YOU! I'm so glad that you appreciate the game's intention for what it was trying to do. Of course it's not super fast and unrealistically punchy-combo-y like the other ones were, but if you're a movie godzilla fan then this fits perfectly with how they move and attack.
Well, you definitely sold me my dude. When I heard the reviews I was understandably disappointed, but I think you make a solid point. It really looks like it was made by fans, for fans. Fans of Godzilla would probably love this game since it looks like it has all the hallmarks of the movies, just in a game. (Also, wow a playable biollante??? Never thought I'd see the day!) It only really makes sense that your average critic didn't care for it if they weren't really fans of the source material.
Having just watched the new King of the Monsters flick, I'm hungry for some Godzilla games. This one definitely looks like something I'd enjoy now, having been a fan since I was a kid.
So yeah, I'm gonna keep an eye out for this one if I ever see a copy. Thanks dude. 😀👍
5:38 Did Godzilla just do the.... *DANCE* ?!
*read description*
I know right, doesn't anyone want to feel like their the King of the Monsters, terrorizing the city like you're watching a Godzilla movie during the Heisei Period!
I'm with you man..
Does this game have split-screen? If it does I might think of getting it, it kinda reminds me when I played the Nintendo Godzilla 2007 game (forgot the name) I found it extremely fun even tho it wasn't one of the best games in the franchise it feels nostalgic to me. Back when I was a kid I played it all the time with my brother. Man I miss that game.
I like your videos a lot, keep it up!
Godzilla Unleashed is the ultimate Godzilla game
Honestly I prefer destroy all monsters melee... But yeah unleashed is pretty great.
I hated the apocalyptic stages, I prefer destroy all monster.
Godzilla Unleashed was a buggy rushjob. Save the Earth was the peak of the brawlers.
DokturProfesur I agree save the earth was the best one, it started all for me.
Melee was the best, unleashed was super unbalanced especially with destoroyah he was so op.
We need a dlc that includes three new monsters. Maybe like Orga, Muto, and possibly Moguera.
Great video bro and I really like the Godzilla PS4 game. I’m really a Godzilla fan and I love every movie of him except the fort American Godzilla film but man I was edge of my seat when watching Godzilla king of the monsters!
I got this on day 1 after trading in both Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal and Rise of Lyric, those two practically paying for my game. The game does have issues, for sure, but it's still just plain and simple fun for a few hours at a time. A dedicated lock on for flying enemies like the Gotengo would have helped tremendously.
Im glad i was able to get this game for 9 bucks, definitely a lot of fun at that price
I liked this game because it seemed a little more realistic than just the other animation type games.
Leaving a like & a comment to boost up kaiju homie's channel for his eventual return!
#ContinueTheMonsterverse
My friend is a HUGE Godzilla fan. I remember in 1st grade he made videos of playing this game. It was kinda fun to watch.
I say take the visuals, monsters, music, and sound of this game and combine it with a remasterd combat of godzilla save the earth, unleashed, destroy all monsters melee you have a great godzilla game.
A small pet peeve of mine for the Atari Godzilla games is that the energy weapons sounds weren't movie accurate, that is why I played this game. Yes, your concept sounds like a masterpiece for G-fans.😁
Don’t forget the destruction
Why em I watching this 🤦🏾♂️ I have a Xbox 😭
Bruh I feel that. I love Godzilla so much and regardless I'm dyin for this game. But alas, Xbox doesn't get Sony's love
When would xbox get a good Godzilla game?!

i feel this pain
5:38 Is that Godzilla's victory dance from Invasion of Astro Monster?
thank you for this retrospective I had a blast with this game the monsters the sound effects (foot stomps of classic mecha Godzilla) or being able to rip Mecha Godzilla 2s head off as a Godzilla game it is great
Things I wish this game had: Updates, 2 player mode, better graphics, more attack combos, more entertaining campaign, faster fighting actions, ect
The only problems I have with the game are the clipping and godzilla's atomic breath range
I love how you use Old gold's clip for multiplayer, I love watching their video
Honestly the thing this game needed for replayability was simply making the multiplayer possible for players in the same room. Being able to play Godzilla with your friends is far more enjoyable when they're right next to you. Plus I think DAMM, Save the Earth, and Unleashed all had a solid multiplayer system with increasing control on match set-up. It was the main reason adults and kids alike could appreciate playing round after round of monsters brawling in a city. It almost doesn't get old!
It's a better Godzilla Generations for me. Love it to death, but agree Destroy All Monsters Melee and Save the Earth are my favorites. Spent alot of Friday/Saturdays playing with friends.
The God of destruction mode was refreshing with each building I destroyed and how its different every time but GOD the multiplayer toxic af
true it's chaotic. I speak from experience
Cool video I use to have Godzilla Save the Earth on PS2 and Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee on GameCube and This game for PS4, I also seen The Shin Godzilla movie for the first time last year.
I really want to buy this game as a long time Godzilla fan. I really appreciate your and how it points out all the positives of the game, thank you. The selection of kaiju available to play as looks amazing, although they leave out the Millennium era Godzilla which is one of my favorites and is kind of a bummer, but like I said I really want to buy this game. Angry Joe just ripped it a new one that I didn't think it was worth it.
Just re-installed this baby. After all the Kong/Godzilla hype, I’m Feening for anything Godzilla.
I always loved this game, was it as good as the ps2/GameCube Godzilla fighting games? Ehh, I can’t really compare this style of game to the older ones. This one just feels like I’m playing a actual movie. The speed of the monsters, the sounds, the areas... it feels so true to the films.
Now could it be better? Ofc. This is far from a perfect game. But as a Godzilla fan, I really LOVE this game lol.
I’m glad to see the Godzilla franchise is growing bigger and better by the year
Godzilla is the first PS4 game I'd got for my PS4 😉 and I still wish City Shrouded In Shadows was released in the West 😣
I want an openworld Godzilla game, where your free to go where ever you want. It must also have a wide rage of different kaiju to play as.
I have the game but the disc keeps saying it’s unreadable so I need tip on how to fix it
Now if only they made a Godzilla fighting game like Save The Earth or Unleashed but with the PS4 Godzilla stuff like sparks when buildings are destroyed or the appropriate music from the movies... And also other Kaiju as DLC like Varan The Unbelievable, Gamera, Ultraman, Godzilla Earth or even the mechas from Super Sentai
Had to order this game from the GameStop warehouse for $45 (yes that was the cheapest I could find it) and honestly the game is fun af
i had it but sold it a few years ago like an idiot so i went to go buy it again and it was 140 dollars
I love it, just wish they brought back original themes, and more monsters like Orga, or the original Gigan, or maybe they can update it now for KOTM monsters
When you put that Gojira CU into perspective, it made me understand why this game still exists in its own light as a successful legacy to its predecessors: Godzilla Destroy All Monsters: Melee, Godzilla: Save the Earth, and Godzilla: Unleashed.
It is not meant to be the successor to the three previous games, but rather a superior standalone that takes everything G fans loved and appreciated from the old-school Showa, to Heisei, and finally the Millennium eras. These films attested to a style of cinema unlike, and outmatched stylistically, any other Kaiju movies to date (with the exception of the given franchise now being rebooted/modernized).
That is what the game aimed for, and from the gameplay I've seen here, and on other channels, it does this the best out of the 4 major Godzilla games available.
It's sad the game didn't go for cheaper, allowing for DLCs and expected expansions to drop, or new game modes being patched into the game, or graphics overhauls to become updated in later patches, or even allowing you to unlock more and more maps/characters as you progressed through the coming updates. So sad this game's lifespan was tainted and declined rapidly to no longer being on store shelves.
Thanks for taking the time to reevaluate this game, and allow us G fans to appreciate the tragic masterpiece that is Godzilla (VS) on PS3 and PS4
Godzilla Unleashed (The Wii version) was the besttt
This game got stupidly expensive. Sad, but I won't pay 100 bucks for this.
You can find it between 20$ and 35$ preowned at gamestop
I spent more time on this game that I would like to admit. It was fun for a while but I kept playing it to get the Platinum trophy. The last trophy was a chore and I felt like it was a second job grinding up all the xp. For what it is worth it is a beautiful looking game with a great roster, great sound does have a Godzilla feel to it. The best part is the encyclopedia of monsters, which helped me learn alot about the lore.
Was there ever DLC bc I saw some question marks when I looked through the game?
I personally think godzilla unleashed on the wii was the best godzilla game
To be honest yeah
The controls and the mechanics killed off the game, rn I'm selling my Wii and everything that goes with it for the PS4 to get severity breach and the Godzilla game
The 3 Godzilla melee games are way more fun and replay value.
I played it originally when it came out (it was a gift so I can't knock it for price), but I've been on a huge Godzilla binge recently so I'm popping in it back in to play with the feeling in mind.
4:35 the tokusatsu aesthetic and arcade vibe is what inspired me to make my gameplay for my third game to be similar to Godzilla Vs. Except the player can fly.
TL;DW
Basically, if you are really a Godzilla fan, then you will look past how crappy the game is and enjoy what you got.

Basically if you are really a Pizza lover, then you will look past that restaurant served it with too much oil and hair in it and enjoy what you got.
Yeah, thats you right now
Nehes that’s actually not a good comparison
@@szymps A more accurate pizza comparison would be; if you are really a pizza lover, you will overlook the lack of cheese, and the terrible tasting sauce on it.
Godzilla PS3/PS4: Kaiju Simulator
Godzilla Atari Trilogy: VS game featuring Godzilla and co.
this, they made you feel like a actual kaiju and the size/speed of one rather then the speed of a wwe wrestler
my god you hit this game right on the head i said the same thing about the game when it first came out that it feels and looks more like it was remaking the movies but in a game and that the way it plays was intentional to be like that so it feels like your the monster or a guy in a big ass suit making one of the godzilla movies.
@Up From The Depth
I feel like they just need to make an open world Godzilla game where you have all of japan (mainland, coastline, and islands such as Okinawa and Iwo Jima) with 3 styles to it, as either Godzilla (you play as either destroyer or hero of Japan depending on how you want to play as Godzilla) JSDF (defend japan from godzilla and other monsters) or other (play as other monsters such as Mothra, Destroyer, and such and act as them accordingly like good or bad guy)
I actually prefer Godzilla Battle Legends/Kaiju Daikessen to the pipeworks games.
Mind, I also think King of the Monsters, War of the monsters, and other general "kaiju" games are among the best in the genre.
Honestly, if this game had more traditional controls in regards to movement and a block button, it'd be pretty great.
I actually really enjoyed this game. My favorite monster to play as was Gigan, he messed everything up. I was very happy to see they used the Final Wars design with the chainsaws and my favorite part is his heavy attack is a flash kick, it's crazy seeing something that big do a backflip, kick a monster in the face, and land back on his feet.
To be honest, this game was not a disappointment to me personally. I honestly loved it when I first got it a few years ago, and it’s nice to take it out every now and then to revisit it.
Its great for die hard fans....if the action was more balanced and it had more city options and less of a grind game play mechanic. It would be a masterpiece. Still good. But could have been better
"Find a cheap copy" yeah not like I haven't been looking every copy available goes for almost 100 bucks
Lowest I see is $280
@@alecgarcia963 and im keeping my copy in my shelf no sale
Damn I’m Canadian and it’s like 600 dollars on amazon
5:38 so they went so obscure as to have him do the Monster Zero dance when he jumps?
Do they also have him fly like in Smog Monster lol?
They do lol
@@UpFromTheDepths88 no way? Ok I'm in then, I guess, but only if they have the tail slide from Megalon lol!
Unfortunately no tail slide, but I'd get a copy fast if you are considering it, Bandai just announced they are no longer distributing it. Prices will go up.
@@UpFromTheDepths88 yup I just tried Game stop and they said a used was 50. 50!!!?
They tried saying it was cuz of the movie lol
0:18-0:22 I just realized there's a shot in KOTM that looks just like that. It's when the _Argo_ swerves away from Ghidorah before he slams into Rodan.
“A Kaiju is approaching, T minus 60 seconds”
Godzilla: ah sh*t here we go again
the trick to this game ( most people don't know ) is the FURY ! If you keep the FURY meter going on each map that is what makes you bigger and stronger . Some players have got the Monsters over 130 meters ! The Angry J sellout didn't realy play it , just used it for ratings .
I got the game a few years ago as a present from my parents on Easter. I had been wanting it for a while, unaware of the production of the game coming to a screeching halt, and increasing the price. My parents had found it at GameStop for about 30 dollars, and I was extremely happy with what I got. I lost interest in it after a while, but recently I started playing again. I’m close to 100%ing the non-multiplayer features (I don’t have PS+ or PSN), but it’s fun to revisit and play for a couple minutes to a couple hours. Seeing the game rise above 200USD hurts me to know that many won’t be able to try the game for a reasonable price, but also makes me feel all the more luckier and thankful that my parents got it for cheap.
Thank You for this review! I loved godzilla p4 and beat the entire god of destruction as biollante.Great fun. The only complaint is battra and mothra in all forms can easily trap you in a corner and kill you,and the timed missions are hard af
I can only find this game for 150$
I know. Maybe because King of the Monsters just opened in theaters. We might have to wait a couple years before the price goes down. It will spike again when the Blu Ray is released and when Godzilla vs Kong opens in theaters.
It’s because the game got unlisted on the ps store and the creators stopped making copies
Godzilla: Unleashed was my favorite
What killed that game for me was the freaking controls and the mechanics
I think I'm gonna buy this game. Like, ASAP. I love Gozilla and I've managed to play a few of the games.
Maybe it's because I watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters recently, but I really want this
It's strange, but Godzilla 2 was probably the most influential game for me as a child. It was the first turn-based strategy game I ever played, so there's a direct lion from Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters to Final Fantasy Tactics to the Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre series of games that make up the bulk of what I play when I get some down time nowadays.
It's good to see that they're still making Godzilla games, though.
