The game that made me fall in love with the monster-verse.
It is janky, but there is a large amount of charm to that jank. It features a lot ofclassic monsters, all full of personality and able to crack a smile to your face. The goofiness of the combat combines with the party game-like energy of the matches lead to playing sessions that I remmeber fondly to this day.
There are also basketball minigames... don't question it.
It's a childhood classic of mine. I can't help but recommend it!

I feel watching AVGN and James & Mike praise the Pipeworks godzilla games set my expectations far too high going in, thinking they would be THE definitive godzilla hidden gem games. They're no doubt good compared to most of the other godzilla games, with plenty of cool kaiju-characteristic abilities such as picking up buildings and throwing them at enemies, but the singleplayer experience here is somewhat underwhelming. Survival mode is rather boring, Most of the challenge minigames save for basketball and ufo ones are genuinely painful, and getting points for unlocking stuff is tedious (apparently you have to beat the campaign with different difficulties and characters, i can't 100% verify, but i'm pretty sure on my 2nd playthrough as Megalon in normal difficulty i didn't get any of the unlock points i scored, then on my third playthrough in hard i did)
They're just fun party games for local multiplayer or for beating the AI, and that's it. Save the Earth is probably the most polished and content-rich of all the three games.
PD: I'm not usually a framerate elitist, but i heavily suggest avoiding the PS2 versions of these games. They play like fucking slideshows. I legit started hating this game a lot less after trying the xbox version with an actually playable framerate.

I beat easy mode a few times to see if I can unlock new characters and maps but it'll take a long time to do that so imma just hang it up here. The game itself is okay. I had some fun beating other monsters up, the variety is there and they look cool with special powers. Some of the side content is whatever. Dodgeball and Basketball are cool to have, but the whole Alien Invasion stuff felt very unnecessary. I could see myself playing a match or two in the future maybe.

Great Godzilla game featuring a lot of the iconic Toho Monsters, it's great if you own an original xbox or a 360 game, cause it's the best (and only) Godzilla game on the xbox thats worth playing, however I just recommend buying the superior sequel Godzilla Unleashed (Specifically the Wii Version as it contains Megagirus and Final Wars Gigan)
