Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is a 3D brawler where you can play as Godzilla 1990, hurl Godzilla 2000 across a city, and then watch Anguirus drop kick him through a building. It’s hilarious. That alone is a compelling sales pitch to have me and many other Godzilla fans say, “Why, yes, please take my money.” It’s a pitch that follows through on its promise, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering it plays one-to-one like the original 2002 game.<\/p>\n
It’s fun to wail on giant monsters as the city crumbles around them, and that fun factor only increases when playing locally with three friends–especially if you’re playing on Nintendo Switch 2 where you can pop off a Joy-Con, hand it to the person next to you, and laugh maniacally when you throw them into a pool of lava on Monster Island.<\/p>\n
It’s just unfortunate that the game’s simple, straightforward, arcade-like fun is hindered by hours and hours of grinding needed to unlock all the game’s monsters, stages, and modes. Nor does the grind complement the game’s pick-up-and-play design, turning a fun game that offers plenty of laughs into a laborious chore when all you want to do is play as Rodan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
