Somebody please re leash him!

This isn't the nasty Jurassic Park Godzilla of the hollywood remake - it's proper vintage Japanese 'Zilla complete with hilariously poor monsters and the worlds worst special effects. As such, it could have made a decent enough comedy videogame, but it takes itself far too seriously. The only laughs you'll get out of this are crazed giggles of despair when you realise you've just blown perfectly good money on something not very nice at all.

Aliens have invaded earth and planted enormous crystals that turn the worlds 'friendly' monsters into city wrecking beasts. As godzilla, or one of his rubbery chums, you have to beat some sence back into the rampaging creatures and see off the invaders.

The problem is the utter crapness of the slow-motion fighting, which is like wrestling iin a swimming pool full of treacle. The controls are unreliable, and the enemys are stupid enough to just fight each other while you stand back and wait for the round to finish.

You can also just walk over the crystals and smash them up to win, which is certainly a lot more enjoyable than getting knocked over by death rays and buzzed by annoying planes that drag your focus away from the monsters you're meant to be fighting.

And if you can't be bothered to do that much, leave the controls alone and wait for godzilla to faint, which moves you onto the next level automatically. That's my prefered option.

Graphics:

Rough backgrounds with decent monsters and sparkly effects.
66/100

Gameplay:

Punch crystals and suffer some horibly unresponsive fighting controls.
30/100

Lifespan:

Completing the main game takes less than 4 hours.
50/100

Overall:

Dodgy monster beat 'em up that doesn't get anything right. The worst game I have played.
45/100

I've found a way to set up pictures now. But it takes a while. I've got to put the whole address in without copy and paste. I still cant seem to get links to work though.
