Worst Godzilla Game

[Kaiju-King42]

Godzilla Unleashed on Wii and DS.

Coocoo.
If you think GU was bad then you have no taste. I've played the wii version and it's one of the greatest things that's happened to godzilla.
Anyone who hates the controls are also losers.

You just called every single member of the board except for the two of us, losers.

I like GU too. That makes three.

The real question is, if I'm one of them, Kaiju-King is another, then who's the third?

Atleast there are four non-losers in this world.

To be honest, G.U for the wii isn't that bad. It just needs a few improvements, like better stages, or a few more monsters that fans wanted, or a better story line. The game to me is in the average zone. Not too good, but not too bad either... G.U for the PS2 though? Yeah, that's pretty bad.

Just a little heads up. It's probably a better idea to just quote his posts if it's not one or two posts above yours, like what I'm doing to you right now. That way people don't have to count the number of arrows and backtrack up the pages to see who you're responding to.

For me the worst Godzilla game was Godzilla on Gameboy.

[ebirahsmeg1]

Godzilla 2 on NES
Godzilla on Gameboy
Godzilla Unleashed - DS

Hard to decide which of the above is the worst. I am surprised the A.V.G.N didn't include the DS game in his Godzilla games review awhile back: http://cinemassacre.com/2009/09/04/avgn-godzilla/

^It was prolly so bad that it didnt even deserve to be mentioned, lol.

Honorable mentioned goes to Godzilla Unleashed for Playstation 2, simply for being a pathetically *LAZY* effort on the part of Pipeworks/Atari and essentially a carbon copy of Godzilla: Save the Earth, with the only two 2 new characters (Obsidiot and Battra) being virtual clones of Orga/Battra.

Definetly agree with this. It's been a while since ive had the game in my posession, but I remember the character models in-game looking so terrible. The monsters looked too smooth and barely had any texture from what I could tell. The monster's intros where always glitched to where they would open their mouth to roar and there would be no sound until a few seconds later, and even then it was only the end half of the roar. That is forever burned into my memory.

Its like they went out of their way to make the Wii version as "good" as possible and every other version into shit

The simpler truth is that while I worked hard on G:DAMM, G:SteE and G:U on the Wii, G:U on PS2 was done with basically zero involvement on my part. So you are correct, pretty much no care was put into that version.

On a tiny technical note, I will mention that the audio sound events were actually called in the same place on both versions - but the PS2 audio streaming was very poorly handled, such that there was a big delay before sounds would load - that was the reason for the "missing roar" complaint. It really was just a hardware/software issue.

Because it's not an old, crappy game It's a modern, crappy game.

Definately Godzilla Unleashed for DS. That thing is trash.

[Tidlefire]

Godzilla Unleashed DS, that stupid puzzle game, and Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact.

[Godzilla94]

Super Godzilla.

It had so much potential, too! If they cut out the parts where I'm just a blue dot on the screen, and made the fighting style like Kaiju Daikessen, it would've been an amazing game. Instead, we have a game where for the most part, I'm a walking blue dot on the screen that can't touch buildings, and finally, when I actually get to fight something, I can only punch the enemy, and then I have to watch a cutscene in order to do the move I want. I would've been okay if they even decided to have a Monster of Monsters style fighting, but no, the fighting in this game have got to be the worst fighting mechanics out of any fighting game I've played.

/end rant.

Modern game wise, Godzilla Unleashed for DS. Crappy graphics, boring gameplay, bad design etc. So far, the only portable Godzilla game I've played that I felt was good was Godzilla Domination. If there's another portable game, it should be in the style of GD. So yeah, my favorite Godzilla game and my least favorite Godzilla game both share the same title. Now I know which one all the resources went into.

At least Super G had a good story.

With actual plot twists that effect the gameplay. That's more then can be said about most G games in general.

I agree that Super G had a nice story, and I think that it's entirely possible to make a movie out of that (actually, the plot is really close to Godzilla Final Wars. Aliens come down, try to conquer the world, send a bunch of aliens on Earth, and then the humans sic Godzilla onto the aliens, defeat all the monsters, and then Godzilla needed to get a power boost to defeat the final monster), but still, the gameplay was just terrible. And to me personally, the most important aspect of a Godzilla game is gameplay. I usually don't even bother to play the Campaign mode unless I need to in the Atari Godzilla series, and usually stick to just Versus, Team Battles, and Destruction. Likewise, I want solid gameplay to make fighting monsters fun. Instead, in Super Godzilla, fighting the other monster feels tedious.

Like I said, the game had a lot of potential. They should've made the fighting like Monster of Monsters, or, even better, Kaiju Daikessen (though Kaiju Daikessen came afterwards, so I'm assuming this was the result of them learning from their mistakes). But no, the gameplay we got is just stupid. Even GU for DS was better. At least in that game, you actually played as Godzilla (instead of a blue dot), and you actually fought the other monsters (instead of punch, pull back, press button, watch cutscene). Yes, GU for DS was boring as hell, but at least it still felt like I was playing a game instead of watching an interactive movie.

Still though, I think the story, or at least some aspect of it, should be applied to Kaiju Combat. If they remade the Super Godzilla story and fixed all the gameplay issues, then it could be a really nice game.

Funny you should mention it, Super G's plot was originally gonna be used for a film, leading up to Bagan but it got canceled. This proves that you can have good movie quality story telling in a Godzilla game, the problem is this one game seems to be the only time they did an exalent job with the story where others either drop the ball or just don't even bother trying to tell a story.
