Is there a good Godzilla game?

I've been watching all the classic Japanese monster movies recently, and I know there are several Godzilla video games, but are any of them any good? I remember playing one as a kid on the NES I think, but it was a grid based strategy game?

And something other than Rampage...

Re: Is there a good Godzilla game?

Destroy All Monsters on Gamecube was fun. I liked the NES one, I don't remember all there was to it, but, I thought there were some platform type levels to it too, not just strategy. Edited to add... In looking at Youtube videos the original NES Godzilla is an action game and Godzilla 2 is the strategy game.

I was just going to suggest Destroy All Monsters. I don't remember any others that I enjoyed.

I always loved Mail Order Monsters, but that game is 25 years out of date at this point. I would love to see someone port that to a current platform (as long as I'm dreaming, all of those old-school EA games were great: MULE, Seven Cities of Gold, Archon. Bring them to a current platform, EA!)

The Nintendo nerd did an episode on Godzilla games. most looked like they sucked and he was mad that they never made a good Godzilla game. Then he popped in two ps2 Godzilla games and they looked awesome. He highly recommended the two.

Godzilla: Save the Earth is one of the few original Xbox games I still have since my kids like to fire it up and wail on each other with giant monsters while laying waste to Seattle.

Thanks for the thread Chuckd, I'm in the same boat, watching a lot of Godzilla lately. I picked up Destroy all monsters yesterday at GS for $10, and Godzilla unleashed is on the way from Gamefly.

You know, they could keep the exact same ruleset and gameplay, and just update the graphics, and this would be a superb XBLA/PSN title.

I never understood why Archon never got an update. That was my original time suck game.

I always felt like King of the Monsters for Neo Geo was the best Godzilla game that wasn't actually a Godzilla game.
