Godzilla (PS4)

I honestly cannot see why this game has such poor reviews. As a long time Godzilla fan this game is perfect for me. I should point out I have both the PS3 and 4 versions. The 4 version is infinitely superior.The evolution mode is much more advanced than PS3.The graphics are in HDLots of playable monstersMany unlockable monstersDetailed kaiju guideYou can have sounds through the controller.You can play online with random people or with friends to fight them.You can Invade and do much the "Go Ashore" gameplay with any monster you have unlocked only you don't collect data.Diarama mode is quite detailedYou can choose to fight one monster after the other.This game isn't particularly short. If you do it incorrectly it will only allow you up to 6-8 stages inside of 10. The game basically cuts your playtime short for each time you fail a level e.g. you don't reach a certain height (100m minimum for the true final boss), level of destruction or collect enough data. Many monsters only appear under very specific requirements e.g. a very specific destruction percentage, from a specific stage and area, after a particular time has passed, how much data you have, etc. This makes the game quite challenging and you will likely not complete it in a day if you want to complete it. Some of the levels are very hard with a set time limit, 3 monsters/enemies attacking at once in a small area and the requirement to reach full destruction and collect all data. I wouldn't say it's a game for kids as it is long, can be challenging and it's violent.If you're into the new Godzilla 2014 and you're not so much interested in the old/original series' from Japan then you may not appreciate this game as much as there are a lot of nostalgic things such as Godzilla being able to jump the way he did in Invasion of the Astro Monster, Godzilla 1964 as an unlockable, many references to the old films and much original music. The game itself is amazing. Could it be better? possibly, but they have made it so there's something for just about any fan who wants to fight monsters, destroy cities, play online and face various challenges. It's highly addictive and will keep you busy for hours. This game has had me sweating and on the edge of my seat.Also, it arrived next day.

Save your money, this game is complete and utter garbage. So dull, so slow and unplayable. Graphically it is the worst I've seen on PS4 - this is so bad it would be an embarrassment on a PS1.May as well throw £40 in the bin as that is what you will want to do with this game.

I personally really enjoy this game, the graphics in my opinion are well presented and all the monsters looks just like they did in the movies.As far as gameplay it is very similar to previous Godzilla games, Basically if you liked Godzilla on the Sega Dreamcast and PS2 you will enjoy this updated version but obviously it's helps if you are a fan and know all the monsters from the movies.

It's fun enough for a little while and the designs for the Kaiju are incredible, they really are. Beyond that the game has nothing going for it. It's dull, it's short, it's incredibly repetitive. If this was a £20 title I'd be much more forgiving but the amount of content here simply does not warrant a full price purchase.

This is not a great game. But, it's not a terrible game, either.The premise is pretty straight-forward; you play as Godzilla (initially - once you have unlocked them you can play as other kaiju) and you stomp your way through cities, leveling buildings and fighting kaiju. It does a decent job of realising this concept. However, it's very limited. You have very few fight moves at your disposal and the movement controls are poorly conceived. It's very sluggish and, when in a kaiju fight, if your opponent gets the first hit in, it can be very difficult to counter.Ultimately, if you're not a big fan of Godzilla there is very little here to keep your interest.I bought this for my five-year old daughter and she absolutely loves it - Godzilla is her current obsession.

Disappointing for the casual gamer, but for die-hard fans of Toho Godzilla this is Essential Purchasing!!I have read so many negative reviews about this game, that I thought I should even things out a bit. First of all, let me breakdown the game:Gods of Destruction – As Godzilla, the goal of this game is to smash up generators (some timed) and collect all data collection points and to achieve 100% damage. Very simplistic but straight forward, this mode is quite enjoyable and you really do get a kick out of being Godzilla and being able to smash anything in sight. Depending on which area you choose, other Kaiju’s (monsters) will appear and challenge you, if you defeat them you unlock them basically.King of Monsters – Essentially a survival mode of sort, as Godzilla you take on the challenge of up to six different monsters, the quicker you defeat them, you unlock new content.The rest of the modes are about Godzilla’s evolution (upgrades and attacks) and for other monsters unlocked.I have always been a Godzilla fanatic and this game does it justice, all the monsters are beautifully designed and sound just like they do from the original Japanese Godzilla movies. For me it’s easily a four star game. Now as far as the negatives go, some reviewers have stated that the game is very repetitive, the graphics seem more suited for PS1/PS2 and that the game itself is very limited. I agree with all those points but I still get enjoyment out of the game so it really doesn’t bother me.So what stops this getting 5 stars? Well the only thing that agitated me about the game is the limited destruction you can cause; you have this orange zigzag line of sorts covering most of the cities, so you are only allocated to one specific area. So many games have that free roaming feature yet Godzilla feels so confined and limited, it can be annoying,Oh and as for which version is better, hands down the PS4 version is superior, not only does it give you more monsters, the gameplay is far smoother then the rushed PS3 edition.
