    This game should be avoided by all means. A complete game engine overhaul is much needed, along with a graphics engine rework, better and less repetitious dialogue.
  2. GameSpot

    Barely playable. The benefits of GoDai's smart control scheme and the inherent coolness of the protagonist's formidable powers are mercilessly buried by shoddy collision detection, maddeningly poor frame rates, and a primitive animation system.
  3. PSX Nation

    It's as if 3DO felt that the horrendous Core-designed, Eidos-published PS One game "Ninja" deserved an equally-flawed sequel that doesn't look much better than Activision's "Tenchu" games.
  4. GamePro

    Though the game’s gliding feature is an inspired concept, trying to execute it, as well as most other moves, can be incredibly irritating due to extremely temperamental and unresponsive controls.

    No, it’s not good at all. And it sure as heck ain’t gonna win any awards. But it does serve well enough as a mild brainless diversion. [Mar 2002, p.106]

    Like everybody in the office has said to me at one point while I was playing Godai, "I wish this game would Go Die!"

    Unresponsive controls and a laughable frame rate ruin an otherwise bland but conceptually sound game.

    The best feature in the game is without a doubt the music, which ranges from soothing tunes, to intense scores that set the mood for the action – it's some of the best music I've heard on the PlayStation 2 in a while… now, if only the action were there, we'd be set!
  9. GameSpy
    17
    A horrendous combination of bad gameplay, graphics, character design, and a complete lack of charm. This is an affront to gaming.
  10. Electric Playground

    Godai sucks in ways that mankind was never intended to know, and exposure to its sheer awfulness will leave deep emotional scars that may never completely heal, even with years of intensive therapy. Stay away. Stay far away.

    Difficult steering and jerky camera. But it has his High Lights.

    It can be quite amusing if you look at it in the right mentality it's just a mockery of a game. It's out there to make every other game you play look beter. This is a terrible game but it only costs 1 buck. It is kinda fun and the dodging is kinda funny and cool at the same time. All in all I sort of like to play it for laughs.… Full Review »

    This game enters you into a world unlike any other with its stunning 3D effects I nearly fainted when I saw how good it was!
