Critic Reviews for Godzilla
Due to tedious gameplay and lackluster visuals, Godzilla fails to live up to his title of King of the Monsters.
It gives me absolutely no pleasure to report any of this. Sitting at my PC, wearing a Godzilla t-shirt and surrounded by plastic models of the series' wonderful menagerie, I wanted so desperately for this to be the game to truly realise the character's potential in gaming. I wanted Crackdown with kaiju. Instead, I got...this. The only thing being crushed here is the dreams of every monster movie fan who ever picked up a joypad.
You would think a game in which you can pimp-slap a moth as a 40ft-tall garbage monster couldn't possibly be that bad. You would, however, be wrong.
A great idea on paper, but Natsume Atari didn't deliver the gameplay depth to back it up
Godzilla is a boring, badly-balanced game that asks you to pay a lot of money for too little content.
It boggles the mind that a good Godzilla game hasn't been produced yet; it's a franchise about a giant lizard destroying things for Pete's sake. Until a studio like Platinum is given the reigns, however, perhaps it's time for the King of Monsters to hang up his size 1000 video game shoes for good.
You can find fun in causing destruction in Godzilla for about forty-five minutes, before the repetitive game play, awkward controls and disappointing Kaiju fights take their toll. Godzilla deserved better.
Godzilla puts you into the destructive feet of the King of Monsters. Unfortunately, being the king is kind of boring.
