    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.

    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. 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.
  4. XenGamers

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

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

    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!

    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.

    Too bad the hole on the game disc isn't wide enough to fit on the toilet paper holder. This is better ass-wipe than pure silk!!!

When I was a child he locked me in his basement. There was only a TV a playstation and this god awful game. He forced for hours every day for years. He would wipe me if I didn't say it was the best game I had ever played. Well I am free now and after years of intense therapy I have finally recovered only to be browsing Metacritic and see this cursed game and my abuser leaving a 10/10 for this God forsaken barren wasteland of a game. Bob D you may have stolen my childhood but I will not allow you to inflate this game. 0/10… Expand

    Giving this game a zero is givining it too much justice...honestly the worst game on the face of creation. However...it's a handy coaster.
