  • Summary: Godzilla: Unleashed is a fighting game on a giant scale. The game stars the legendary Godzilla and a slew of the most renowned monsters of all-time. Gamers are challenged to ultimately save the planet from mayhem and destruction. Set in urban arenas, Godzilla: Unleashed's interactive 3D cityscapes, big destructible buildings, soaring skyscrapers and towering alien formations provide the backdrop to epic worldwide destruction. Players claw, kick, stomp, throw and blast their way through the streets of major world cities in order to claim the ultimate, beastly title: King of the Monsters. In addition to a fully reinvented combat system, Godzilla: Unleashed features an innovative non-linear storyline which allows players to influence how the story unfolds through their choices within battles.

  1. Still: warts and all, this is among the best fighters for the system. [Dec 2007, p.82]
  2. It may retain a few redeeming qualities, but all in all Godzilla: Unleashed is a step backward for Pipeworks' Godzilla series.

    Godzilla fans deserve better than this. Unleashed isn't pretty, isn't compelling, and isn't nearly as fun as stepping into the skin of giant monsters should be. Everything about this game is phoned in.
  4. The game does an excellent job of being pretty, but pretty will only carry you so far in life, especially in an industry where pragmatism (read: gameplay) is king.

    This game is awesome. It's non liner storyline, and beautiful controls make this game the best fighting game ever made.
  2. This is a fantastic game for Godzilla fans. The controls take getting used to, but once you get it, they are solid. Graphic are amazing. Main thing I don't like is the crystal pillar bashes in story mode. Expand

    Not an amazing game by any means, but a lot of fun for the hardcore Toho-phile. Suggest a rental first though to make sure the control schemes and generally terrible "story" elements aren't going to make you regret a purchase. I've had it a week and put 15+ hours into it, but I've also been a Godzilla nerd for 20 years, so take it as you will. Expand

    I can't play this game because the remote does not follow the action....unplayable.
