Then we come to pummeling the opposing beast. Missiles have very little effect on him, much like a the canon I guess. Merely turning to face an enemy is a chore in and of itself, a Godzilla has no problems taking it slow so seeing how much punishment he can take. He's a lumbering beast who can't exactly move with speed and grace of Kratos or Master Chief. Otherwise, it's like learning to ride a bike all over again. However, you'll have to have a memory of such times in order to do that. The only way to described Gozilla's setup is like a PlayStation 1 shooter, meaning you'll have to dig into your memory to fall in line. Bandai Namco's control scheme refuses to adhere to modern standards, resorting to the R1 and L1 buttons to steer the character, not doing the whole tried and true 'dual-analog' thing that the first Halo established. Godzilla has been forced to battle godlike monsters from the edges of the universe, and yet, he's never had to handle a more rough customer than the controls in this game. Giant Monsters All-Out SquabbleĪnd we have the gameplay. Full price for this leaves whole lot of expectations that need mending. You're not paying a budget price for those ugly graphics like Earth Defense Force 2017's $40 price tag. Go in with the mindset that you're playing a Japanese budget game, and you'll be getting just that.Ī $60 budget game mind you. Heading into Godzilla expecting the latest Unreal Engine 4 brilliance bursting from its stages will only get you burned. Godzilla looks like Godzilla, and that's the best we can ask for, yeah? They aren't pretty nor up to the standards set by the PlayStation 4, but they are inoffensive at best.

Yes, in spite of the cardboard buildings, destruction in this game still looks and sounds like the real deal.Īnd yeah, despite it being horribly outdated, incompetent, and just bad, I can't say that I hated the graphics. Even if our friend Godzilla isn't exactly that detailed, smashing into a building with him feels great, mostly do in part to the smoke, chaos, and the iconic sparks designed to resemble those used in the classic Toho films. There are a few saving graces here, mostly in the destruction effects. You do need a license to develop games, right? Godzilla's framerate rarely dips to noticeable levels, and frankly, I would be outright calling for Bandai Namco to revoke their programmers' licenses if they couldn't get these graphics running on the PlayStation 4. Luckily, the demand to power these graphics doesn't seem to be that much.
