3.5/5 ★ – Empyrean's review of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee.

For the longest time I was convinced this was the best Godzilla game (not a high bar), but returning to it now I’m surprised at just how limited it is. There’s only 11 playable Kaiju (on the GC version at least), Mothra & Hedorah are background characters for some reason, and the two designs used for Goji (90s which is supposedly based on Biollante but looks more like Return, and Pink Millennium before GxK stole the idea) are some of his worst. Where is 60s? Burning? GMK? Outrageous! Also uses the worst MechaGoji design, excluding GvK. I can’t hate too much though. The actual gameplay is still fun, toeing the line between having enough appropriate weight behind the controls but not enough to be jank, and it’s clearly be done with a lot of reverence for Big G. Plus it most likely helped in turning me into the Kaiju nut I’d go on to be.
