Summary
Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, first appeared in 1954. Scientists studied Godzilla and found that they could harness energy from the monster. Called “G-Energy,” this seemingly endless source of power was used to better the lives of all mankind. 60 years later, just when mankind’s memory of the beast faded, Godzilla appeared again. Godzilla destroyed at will, all in search of more G-Energy. Such irony, the same G-Energy which was used to better the people’s lives, also caused Godzilla to awaken. Can the G-Force, mankind’s last hope, stop Godzilla? What fate awaits Godzilla once he has consumed all of the G-Energy, and grown to his full potential?

A colossal-sized disaster that pays homage to the kaiju films of yesteryear, but doesn’t offer anything meaningful to gamers. A great idea on paper, but Natsume Atari didn’t deliver the gameplay depth to back it up. I grew bored with Godzilla after a few minutes. It’s a towering abomination of a licensed property and a sad excuse for a game. I enjoyed the novelty and cheesiness, but none of the gameplay held my attention.
Faint praise, however, as while this could have become a so-bad-it’s-good Earth Defense Force type experience, it’s instead held back by clunky controls, dated visuals, confined level design and a lack of gameplay variety. There’s some fun to be had here, but this use of “some” is coming dangerously close to meaning minutes instead of hours. Perhaps Godzilla will get a decent game by his hundredth anniversary, but this isn’t it.
The latest Godzilla film, while flawed, really did a good job of bringing the character back to the US after so long, but Godzilla for PS4 cannot say the same. The gameplay feels sluggish and underwhelming alongside missions that barely change, though the large roster of characters is appreciated for longtime fans. Those looking for an atomic blast of fun with this game are going to be sorely disappointed, as Godzilla can only muster a weak roar in this outing.
