Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla

Is there a more perfect property to make the transition from the silver screen to the video game world than Godzilla? There has been no shortage of Godzilla games over the years and today we are taking a look at one of the most advanced and recent games to feature Godzilla and many of the other monsters that live in his world. This is a game that got a lot of negative reviews when it was released, but it is nowhere near as bad as many people will make out.

A Mindless Monster

In my opinion, the biggest miss that the most recent Godzilla game has going on is the lack of a story. There is no story at all in this game, zero, nada, zilch! They did not come up with any kind of narrative to link it all together.

I was very disappointed by this as I feel that a Godzilla game could have a strong and engaging story. Hell, they could have even based it on the most recent Godzilla movie and I think that could have worked pretty well. The people behind the game captured the Godzilla universe very well. Each of the monsters looks just like you would expect them to. The levels may not be all that detailed, but I think this is by design so that all of the attention is focused firmly on Godzilla and his foes and allies!

Protect And Destroy

One thing that you do have to give them credit for is the game modes. Despite the lack of a story mode, I do feel that Godzilla has enough modes to keep you entertained. The main game mode is called, God of Destruction and this is where you will unlock the characters as you progress. Each level is its own contained thing, you will either have to smash a city, protect generators, destroy generators or fight off another monster. It is a neat idea and kind of a greatest hit’s thing of the Godzilla franchise.

You also have an online battle mode, this is fun, but I feel this game would have been perfect for couch co-op. It has a time attack mode and a few modes where you can look and play around with the monsters too.

Like A Tank

One of the main complaints that I have seen about this game over the years is that the monster’s control like tanks. I can see why this can take a while to get used to and it is probably slower-paced than many people want. However, these are giant monsters so the way that they move does feel pretty fitting and I got used to it.

There are over 20 monsters from the Godzilla franchise here and they each control in the same way, but then they each have their own set of special moves. The game is a tad on the sluggish side, but it is certainly playable once you get used to it.

Pros:

• It features over 20 characters from the Godzilla franchise
• It does make you feel like a monster
• You have lots of missions to play through
• Each character has their own special moves
• I liked the way the monsters looked

Cons:

• It is a hard game to get the hang of
• It is missing a story mode!

Someone as a child could be afraid of the huge monster from the depths of the ocean, or someone could admire him, but everyone will not miss the opportunity to become one of the most destructive reptiles in the game - Godzilla. Destroy buildings, kill innocents, and just have fun in a world where the tallest skyscrapers compare to you.

Ancient forces are not happy

An ancient monster dwelling in the depths of the ocean seeks revenge on its home Earth. The ecology destroyed by humans is forcing the defenders of Earth to awaken. It is they who seek to destroy the virus that has spread across the surface of the planet over all the centuries that the guardians have spent in hibernation. However, the virus in the form of humans is very resistant. The player's task is to resist humanity's attacks and continue to destroy all that the Earth's flora and fauna were destroyed.

Modes for Special Destruction

The game is designed for several modes and locations. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to walk around the open world as a big lizard. Each location is a peculiar city or military station that must be destroyed. There are ten such areas, but you can't destroy them all at once, because Godzilla's powers are limited. Twenty-five levels to destroy each of the areas. In addition to destroying cities, there are several other modes:

• " King of Monsters" mode - a planet cannot have only one defender. Just like other planets. Many monsters want to fight Godzilla for the title of King of Monsters or for the right to possess the planet Earth.
• Evolution" mode - Godzilla loses all his abilities and gains them only when he destroys certain buildings or kills certain enemies.
• "Diorama" mode - place buildings, monsters, and other objects in the game the way you want. A kind of construction mode from The Sims, but with huge monsters. Create scenes from movies and take pictures.
• Multiplayer mode - destroy buildings with other monsters, or to be more precise, with other players.
