the best godzilla game hands down, with the most epic opening cutscene ever

0:28 that Beeping alongside with the screaming and the sense of weight of Godzillas footprints only from the sound and the close shots, just UUUUUH

[@moxxiiscarlett7141]

This game, in my opinion, is the best Godzilla game to ever be made. The action, destruction, sounds, animations, etc were top notch. It was the Godzilla game fans were waiting for. Not even that PS4 game could match it. I remember how, sitting down with friends and/or bots and just having an all out brawl, sometimes 2 or more people would gang up on another. Always no teams though. Made for more chaos and fun that way! When I learned it wasn't backwards compatible with the new consoles, I felt my heart drop. Why? Why wouldn't they want to bring us such an amazing game to modern consoles for us to play, possibly with friends online? Because they don't want us to have fun. They want us to spend money on microtransactions for cosmetics and gameplay boosters. And they want us to spend money on shoddy, half-assed, constructed games that they always seem to be putting out now. I don't think any more good games like Godzilla: Save The Earth, Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005, or WaW CoD will ever come out again. If the recent stint of half-assed "games" that have come out over the years, filled to the brim with microtransactions I might add, is anything to go by? Then the days of good games is long over.

[@GDukeRaptor]

Why did Save The Earth get proper cutscenes, yet Unleashed, which came after, had still shots with text?! WTF

[@AnonymousAffection]

JonZilla Showing a shot with written text on screen is much cheaper than making a CGI cutscene. That means Unleashed was a cheaper game and they didn't spend much on it compared to Save The Eeath.

[@rileygay1165]

Unleashed was rushed.

[@GDukeRaptor]

***** That's why Save The Earth gets more love rather than Unleashed XD

[@gustavohenriqueg2036]

***** The good thing about "Godzilla: Save the Earth", is that it has awesome cutscenes, the bad is that the intros for the monsters are not that good. The good thing about "Godzilla: Unleashed", is that the intros for the monsters look amazing, but, then again the cutscenes for that game are rubbish.

[@gameragodzilla]

+AnonymousAffection Well to be fair to Unleashed, there were also a lot more cutscenes. Save The Earth had the intro, the opening to Adventure Mode, and an ending cutscene if you beat the game on Hard, whereas Unleashed had a lot more cutscenes to tell its story.

[@ArcherBro]

Of the three games made, this one had the best intro.

[@gheith001]

Tho, I'm my honest opinion, the weakest gameplay. Had the best roster, tho.

[@ArcherBro]

gheith001 You mean Unleashed? Yeah, the gameplay needed more polish, but roster was to die for and story mode had some clever ideas. Even the creator of these games admits that Save the Earth had the least problems and he feels more proud of it.
