Look out! It's Godzilla! And he's invading an Xbox near you. Yes the Godzilla game that befriended your Gamecube is now invading every inch of your Xbox console.
And it's a welcome invasion. In case you haven't played the gamecube version and you obviously haven't 'cause no one has multiple platforms, right. (wink wink)
Godzilla is what you'd expect. Monsters fighting each other destroying the city in the process.
Don't think it's a fighting game two on two. It's an up to four player monster brawl.
Think War of the Monsters only with Godzilla licensed characters. I feel bad comparing it to War of the Monsters simply because Godzilla came first. (On gamecube)
If you played War and now want to play Godzilla. They play basically the same, however Godzilla is a bit slower.
While WOM was really fast paced, Godzilla tends to take his time smashing things.
Godzilla doesn't provide the player as many toys to toss around either. Buses, cars, trains etc.
There are still plenty of people to step on, but less obvious ones. The buildings still smash, collapse, explode and all other goodness.
Each monster has his own unique moves and specials. Some more effective than others.
I like Godzilla, but it gets rather boring and redundant as a single player game. Add up to 3 extra players and you have yourself an all out monster brawl fest that is literally hours of fun.
Graphically this new Xbox edition looks the same as the gamecube version. Which is not a bad thing at all.
Other than the fact they tend to take their own sweet time walking across the cities (literally) I think the graphics are more than adequate.
Control is acceptable. Sometimes it can be hard to pull off a combo or two, but I'll let that slide and attribute that to the player.
Godzilla is ultimately a party game. Just as Super Smash Bros, and almost all fighting games are.
They're just more fun with some buds involved. So pick up some friends and a copy of Godzilla for your four player Xbox machine
(and four controllers if you don't already have ‘em) and warm up some preheated microwavable pizzas, cause you're in for a long night of fun.
Sorry, you must provide your own badly dubbed dialog.
