Advantages: Nice idea

Disadvantages: Not great to look at

With games such as King Kong among other disaster and monster games,. Atari decided to treat us to a game based on the legendary Godzilla. Not based on the movie from a few years ago this is more like a compilation of Godzilla movies. Now having seen most of these movies I would have to say thats'a bad thing, the most Godzilla I want to see is the one that used to be in the Chewits adverts. But interestngly enough Atari have pumped out a pretty decent little game here.

Essentially it's a fighting game where you'll take on different monsters and as you beat one you'll take on another one thats bigger and stronger. You can also play a melee mode where you can have 4 monsters beating the hell out of each other to

Graphics - They aren't going to win any awards for the graphics in this game, they're ok but nothing phenomanal. Pretty cartoon-esque at times but not too bad,

Gameplay - Hmm, it's pretty easy at times to win but not that easy if you want to pull of any big moves. It's simple to stand there and do one move over and over but not much fun. Gameplay isn't the best.

Sound - Very generic music in this game , the sound effects of the mosnters are passable though.

Longenvity - Well I wouldn't say that long but you never know, I thought it was fun and there are some other little modes in the game to keep you playing it but for a budget game I think it's not bad value.

Overall - An average fighting game with a novel concept, they tried something different here and I thought they did ok. The execution wasn't the best but a rather enjoyable effort at times.

Summary: A decent attempt at a new fighter.
