Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters

Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters is an NES strategy game released in 1991, developed and published by Toho. It is a sequel to Godzilla: Monster of Monsters.

Why Godzilla Would Use His Atomic Breath On It

 * 1) The combat system uses a slot machine to determine whether or not your attacks actually hit the monsters, making combat completely based on luck.
 * 2) Unbalanced gameplay, the human units had a weak attack and cannot regenerate their health like the kaiju.
 * 3) You can only play as the humans, which is a major letdown to anyone who wants to play as kaiju.
 * 4) Poor soundtrack.
 * 5) When you mute the music, the SFX get muted as well.
 * 6) Matching all three slots on the slot machine is nearly inpossible.
 * 7) With overall gameplay, it feels like a clone of other turn-based strategy games like Famicom Wars with Godzilla in it.
 * 8) Some people question whether this is a sequel because the gameplay is nothing like its prequel.
 * 9) False advertising: The in-game title screen's design looks nothing like the one on the back of the cover.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) You at least get to play as Mothra in one of the scenarios.
 * 2) Like Godzilla: Monster of Monsters, the actual graphics are well done.

Trivia

 * During development, the game was originally envisioned as a Rodan-themed game (another one of Toho's kaiju), but the company thought that a Rodan game will not do as well as ones focused on Godzilla. The game was eventually retooled as a Godzilla-themed entry.
