- To ensure it wasn’t just isolated to my connection I tried playing online using two different connections from two different service providers and ran into bad lag both times. The lag was so bad I couldn’t even properly finish a match. Can you say “Ouch”? Godzilla is a game that may offer some satisfaction to hardcore fans, but casual players won’t find much to like here. Clunky controls, poor visuals, and boring and repetitive gameplay make this game experience one that you should skip.
Sidd Masand · Jul 27, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The worst part about my experience with Godzilla is the fact that it didn't provide laughs or enjoyment because of its poor quality. Instead, I just sat there bored for much of the time as I endlessly destroyed cities and fought other monsters in terribly unbalanced fights. On top of all that, the game costs $60 despite its lack of meaningful content.
Anthony LaBella · Jul 24, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Godzilla is a bit of a hit and a miss, and mileage will vary between players. On one hand, it’s a very shallow experience in a lot of ways with dated visuals and a lack of variety. After 1-2 hours of play time, I felt the tedium of repetition build up. The catch was, after stopping the game always pulled me back in later for more.
Justin Celani · Jul 22, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.
Dean James · Jul 21, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - And so it goes in this overpriced and unattractive game, whose finest mode is one in which you place unlockable action figures on a diorama. Indeed, looking at static monster figures in fighting poses is a lot more fun than actually participating in battle. The worst news of all is that if you want more figures, you have to play the game, and no virtual action doll is worth that many yawns.
Kevin VanOrd · Jul 17, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - You would think a game in which you can pimp-slap a moth as a 40ft-tall garbage monster couldn’t possibly be that bad. You would, however, be wrong.
Ben Griffin · Jul 17, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Marching like an unstoppable freight train through buildings should have been a ton of fun, but Godzilla fails to do justice to the iconic movie monster, making for a painfully sluggish, repetitive and ultimately boring experience. In the words of Godzilla himself, “skwarrrr!!!”
Richard Walker · Jul 17, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.
Andrew Reiner · Jul 16, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - Godzilla provides an experience soaked in nostalgia that simply isn't fun to play after putting in time with it. Sure, hearing the roars, tearing through towns and beating up on Rodan were entertaining for the first few minutes, but it all goes downhill quite quickly.
Jon Ledford · Jul 16, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
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?
