"Godzilla Saves the Earth" as in you throw every building on the map at your enemy.

Fore real though, this is my first Godzilla fighting game and it's super fun to play. Monster combat is smooth but the weird thing about it is that it has an actual strength and weakness system for certain elements like nuclear and shock. Character roster is the best too and I love the inclusion of some cool units like Jet Jaguar. This game is an always will be a classic next to Godzilla Monster Melee.

still the best Godzilla game all these years later. tons of monsters, modes, an arcade-game esque story. it's sick.

I have nothing but love for this game and Destroy All Monsters: Melee. One of the best games of my childhood.


An awesome party game. I love that each character has a pretty unique moveset, you can tell a lot of thought was put into making this game.

Now that, my friends, is an improvement! Still the best Godzilla game ever made.

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)

you can play basketball in this

A sequel which takes all of the strengths of the original and only adds more, even going as far as to make Mothra playable. This game is one of the very few reasons I had something other than a Gamecube as a kid.

There's a basketball mini game

If Godzilla did indeed "Save the Earth", then the next game wouldn't have happened

Played few rounds of this recently and it fucking rules and holds up well. Give us another Godzilla fighter please

Kaiju fighting game, not particularly technical but very fun and easy to pick up and play. Good roster of monsters who all look awesome and feel unique to play as. Most monsters need to be unlocked using points but this isn't difficult. Would recommend to anyone, even if you're not a Godzilla or fighting game fan.

My first contact with Godzilla and other Kaiju, what a game. Also played it in BnW for the most part.

Suffered a lot from the changes it made from G:DAMM. The gameplay feels too loose and unresponsive which makes it incredibly hard for me to even return to it.

Good roster though.

You get to play as giant kaijus beating the shit outta each other and that is right up my ally

Godzilla is a cool guy, he stomps, shoots pure radiation, and just goofs off! What more can you ask for?

the bigger roster is what gives it the edge over the gamecube one. you can’t find a better godzilla game period this IT here baby
maybe this game changed my life in some small way

Always felt like a better, more complete version of Melee, really appreciated the bigger character selection that introduced me to some of the monsters from movies I never had access to back in the day.

Not even God could have predicted what this game did to me.

I played through 1 full campaign of Godzilla, and touched a couple of the smaller ones, was great to relive the game I grew up playing. Hope for a port or remaster one day!


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.

6.3/10

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.

The greatest fighting game to ever be made. The likes of which we will never see again.

Crazy how this game is 20 years old and not a single Godzilla game since then has been even half as good.
