Critic Reviews for Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is a delightful throwback to a bygone era of lazy weekends past that will give you back as much as you're willing to put into it.
Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is a satisfyingly faithful update to a beloved Kaiju brawler. It's simple and fun, with local and online multiplayer keeping you around for the long haul despite a wafer-thin single-player experience. Now if we could just get a remaster of Save The Earth and Unleashed…
Even with the issues I have with the controls I found it hard to put this down, it’s a great hit of nostalgia and a great way to celebrate Godzilla Day.
As early as 2002, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee ignored the technical leap forward represented by the open-world *GTA III* - released shortly before - to offer a simple, straightforward formula. Today, as the world awaits the next generational leap promised by GTA VI, this Remastered edition arrives somewhat unexpectedly to revive that classic, no-frills formula from 2002, with a slightly revamped look. It's still fun, but a bit past its prime.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is a great version of a good retro game.
Atari's Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered does enough to make the 2002 arena fighter accessible to modern gamers. Godzilla fans will eat it up like it's Shosaku Takasugi's corn cob gun, but that kind of precise targeting will alienate those with limited daikaiju interest.
Go into Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered with the expectation that this is merely a remaster, so it can feel antiquated or even a bit clunky in some areas. Still, bring a friend or three along for local co-op, and you'll get a good amount of fun from the sheer chaos of Godzilla and other kaiju throwing buildings at each other.
Flash forward to now, and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered has landed, bringing with it a game that is nearly unrecognisable from its initial release.
