great game
This game features most of the monsters from the old godzilla films in one form or another. At the main menu you the choice to do either action mode, versus mode, melee mode and challenges. Action mode is where you choose a monster to be and then it is just a series of one-on-one battles between you and a randomly generated monster. In versus you, like the name suggests, go head-to-head with either player 2 or the computer. In melee mode however, you can fight with 2, 3 or 4 monsters at the same time.

Challenge mode is where you, playing as Godzilla 2000, have to do a point-scoring round. My personal favourite is Battleships where you pick up rocks to throw at navy warships and score points. It can get frustrating sometimes when the AI keeps pumeling you relentlessly, but it is all round very fun.

Oh man, a real treat for Godzilla fans
This game is just an absolute gem, especially for anyone who is a fan of the old/classic asian cinema monster films which featured Godzilla, Rodan, MechaGodzilla and others, they are all featured and the narrative/story board option follows a story familiar from those movies too, invading aliens in flying saucers want to steal the world's Chi cells from the earths population of monsters.

The game is essentially a series of versus matches in different landscapes, while the action is focused on the monster fight there are small helicopters, tanks or flying saucers which harrass and explode if you walk into them or blast them (some levels require that you use a targetting system to blow up flying saucers or throw flats at them). You can smash up the surrounding buildings like some sort of 3D version of rampage (there may actually be a game of Rampage in 3D).

The game can be played in versus match modes or the narrative story driven gameplay.

Some of the fight sequences are easy, the opponents AI is not fantastic and it does take a long time before you can unlock any adversaries, so I would not recommend it to anyone who is not interested in the Godzilla theme in particular (maybe try some of the Mortal Kombat games if you want a three dimensional, interactive environment versus match game play and arent particular about the characterisation or storyline). For fans of the angry Nintendo/Video games playing nerd videos online, this is one of the games featured in the video about Godzilla gaming (if you see the earlier games you will not believe how great this one is by contrast).

Godzilla's worst game
Godzilla save the earth is THE biggest disappointment I ever have had the misfortune to come across. The action scenario never ends, it takes 60,0000 points to get one monster, the scores do not save, the reactions of the monsters are unimaginably slow and the quality of the game is nothing compered to Godzilla Unleashed. So if you're ever thinking of buying this game DONT'T!!
