Great monster action.

Keep in mind that I am reviewing this game for X Box. I have not played this game for other consoles so just keep in mind that my opinion is solely for the X Box version.

THis game is a lot of fun. Playing as a variety of monsters from the Godzilla series you fight against other monsters. Controls are pretty simple to master. If you beat a monster you move on to fight another and another until you have beaten enough to gain points that you can use to buy new monsters or other items like new cities or photos.

The graphics are pretty good. SOme of the monsters look great, namely Godzilla 2000, Gigan, Anguirus, Ghidorah, and Rodan. Others look somewhat pretty good like Godzilla 90's and Mechagodzilla 2. Overall I was happy with the selection of monsters they put in. I nearly fainted when I found out that Baragon was a playable character as he is my favorite kaiju. I always wondered why they would put in Mechagodzilla 2 and 3 but choose not to put in the original Mechagodzilla.

The playable monsters in this game are Godzilla 90, Godzilla 2000, Megalon, Gigan, Anguirus, Rodan, Ghidorah, Mecha King Ghidorah, Mothra, Megaguirus, Baragon, Jet Jaguar, Mechagodzilla 2, Mechagodzilla 3, Destroyah, Space Godzilla, Moguira, and Orga. In my opinion King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla 2, and Gigan are the most powerful but my favorite to use is Baragon.

Battra appears in the game in the background firing his prism beams as you battle. Ebirah appears in a mini game.

You will play a variety of different mini games while going through the levels. Mini games in this game are off and on. Most of them are very difficult while others are far easier. Depending on which monster you are playing as depends what mini games you will play.

Locations that you will fight in include San Francisco, Monster Island, Seattle, Osaka North, Tokyo and many others.

A great variety of different monsters and good controls make this game a lot of fun. If you are a Godzilla Fan you must play it.
