I remember this being the first Godzilla game I could play. It holds a special place in my heart. When I was younger, I didn't care about the bad controls, I only cared about playing Godzilla! I remember learning the controls and having fun! It's nostalgic for me.
This is what I am trying to say, all my favorite characters were in this game! It was the first game I had, and the controls never seemed to bother me. Moreover, it has so many fan favorite characters, and with enough Finess, the controls don’t become that bad. I get the bad graphics and his reasoning for 3 stars, as the nostalgia Carries this game. I would play for hours on end with my brother and friends until our wii remotes ran out of battery. And, now that I have Save the earth on my ps2, I long to play unleashed again, and relive all the fond memories I had with it.
It was my first proper Godzilla game too but the motion controls are a deal breaker for me nowadays, I just can’t go back to this game
That about sums it up, yeah
Same!
I played this a lot as a kid and honestly I don’t think I had much trouble with the controls. Well I played the wii a lot as a kid.
I just lost my best friend the other day and an MIB video game review is definitely what I needed to help take my mind off it
Thank you MIB 😊
Psalm 34: 18 "The Lord is nigh unto them; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
@@aaronkibler7359Not sure how a Bible verse to a random person online is gonna help someone grieve
bro what?
@@Spiderfan2115God is close, if you feel guilty about something, he will save you!
You doing alright?
Thanks to all of Fanny's fans (and fans) who demanded this channel bring back the beloved character.
Oh My god! You were in this?! 😂
I was not expecting you here
Great review as always and you can definitely feel the bias on this one lol. I’m a lot more nostalgic towards it as a Wii kid, I especially remember searching for years before I could finally get my hands in this game. I do think Godzilla Unleashed has the best Soundtrack, Roster, Customization, and Arenas in the trilogy. The controls hold it back but u get used to him after a while, and Unleashed will always hold a special place in my heart
I agree on the soundtrack and I should’ve pointed that out
@@MonsterIslandBuddies The Main Menu theme had no right going as hard as it did
Mine too. I just love using Kiryu as the ultimate tyrant and finishing story mode by defeating Godzilla, Krystalak and Anguirus. I also love the Ganging up mission with Obsidius where all three MechaGodzillas appear. I just love being heroic with the Aliens and Mutants.
Fun Fact: There's a Godzilla Unleashed Overhaul mod for the Wii version adds traditional controls & many other fixes, as well as new skins & more single player options. The team recently released the 1.01 update.
This game was my childhood. I still have so many fond memories of playing it
you finally played all the battle games of Godzilla, congratulations, the saga is complete, can't wait for more content, love all your reviews and your series
I never actually had problems with the controls and I even taught 5 year olds how to use them.
But the controls are very unconventional. Designer Simon Strange even noted that people who weren’t as experienced with games had an easier time grasping the controls than a hardcore gamer who’s used to a conventional controller.
I love this game. Definitely my favorite Godzilla game for the sheer roster size, more intricate campaign, lots of customizable options, etc. Once you get past the controls, there’s a lot to offer.
This game will always fill me with nostalgia. I remember how this was the last main line Godzilla game until the PS3/PS4 game.
Also if you want to have nightmares for the next few weeks, here's a fun glitch in this game; as Anguirus, use your rolling attack and run through several buildings at once. The model gets fucked up like some creepy voodoo doll.
This shit is so freaky. Been playing this game for years and never noticed this somehow
I remember getting this when my family got a Wii and just wanting to play Destroy all Monsters Melee again. Nice to see I wasn't alone feeling that way.
MIB, just wanted to share that I've been dealing with a lot recently and discovering you and this channel has kept me going. Love you, brother. Thank you for the great content and the laughs!
Growing up in the UK in the early 2000's when it was a lot harder to find Godzilla movies that weren't region locked DVDs, this game meant a lot to me. It was the only Godzilla game I had and it introduced me to so many of the monsters and generally was one of the video games I played the most growing up. It was funny playing this on the Wii because for a while it reframed my idea of how Godzilla's universe operated, I assumed Space Godzilla was the arch enemy of Godzilla rather than King Ghidorah. I do vaguely remember the controls sucking, a lot of the time the atomic breath for me was just shooting into the air, then again I was a dumb kid lacking the patience to learn controls, but all that being said playing this with my brother was a fun experience since it made playing as the monsters feel like a challenge, neither one of us had a clear advantage and there was a learning curve to it, which I think is what kept me coming back to play it over and over.
I liked this game for being one of the first english releases that lets you play as Shōwa Mechagodzilla and G54. I also really liked Krystalak and Obsidius, it's a shame they don't get any more attention. I'd love to see them in new games, or even get offically licensed figures.
Same. I always loved Terror of Mechagodzilla as a kid and was confused only seeing stuff for 90s MG and Kiryu for the longest time.
The nostalgia that comes from this damn game! I was never able to buy it, but MAN I wish I did! It has its flaws, but the influence this game had on early Godzilla SFM/MMD animations is incredible! (AND THAT OST MAN!)
The funny thing is, no matter the difficulty or health you give the monsters, Titanosaurus always gets way more than 3 hearts
This game is underrated like very, only thing bad about it was how every DAMN MONSTER JUMPED BACK
Godzilla Unleashed is absolutely one of my favorite Godzilla games! :D
I remember being so hyped for this game. When I finally got the game and played it on Christmas of 2007, it was not quite the same as the previous games in the trilogy, but I still enjoyed it while playing as the characters that were absent in the predecessors. It really helped when I got the Wii in September of that year to help me get used to a new gaming system with other games like TMNT. Also, 7:48 Be still my beating ribcage!😍
As a Brit, I can confirm that fanny means vagina in the UK, as well as a name for girls.
5:18
Fun fact - Vorticia is voiced by Ellen McLain. She also lent her voice in:
GLaDOs (Portal series)
Administrator (Team Fortress 2)
Overwatch Announcer (Half-Life 2)
Jaeger AI (Pacific Rim)
We had a Wii back then, and I asked for this game for Christmas- my wife searched 3 or 4 game stores, and finally a local GameStop got a used one in stock, which they held for her. I didn't care that I got a used disc, I loved the game (I was about 35 at the time). It was a hit with non-Godzilla fans, too, as anybody who played with the Wii would gravitate to this game. I made the mistake of loaning it to my friend back in 2010, I think his kids are still playing with my copy.
Used to love this back in the day, so I'm happy you reviewed it!
It's because of this game that I'm a Godzilla fan, despite it's flaws this game will always hold a special place in my heart.
The nostalgia tho! All my favorite characters were in this game! It was the first game I had, and the controls never seemed to bother me. Moreover, it has so many fan favorite characters, and with enough Finess, the controls don’t become that bad. I get the bad graphics and his reasoning for 3 stars, as the nostalgia Carries this game. I would play for hours on end with my brother and friends until our wii remotes ran out of battery. And, now that I have Save the earth on my ps2, I long to play unleashed again, and relive all the fond memories I had with it. Still great review
It's always cool to see more Godzilla reviews and funny moments in these videos
I love how oldschool TH-cam your skits are
10/10 sponsor
Loved the “gotta wait a few seconds for monetization”
IVE BEEN WAITING SOOOOO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW, Godzilla Unleashes was the first godzilla game i owned and single handedly had my whole childhood in a choke-hold
4:01 This roster call with some of the MIB voices literally got the dopamine and endorphins going from nostalgia!
My days been going bad and you made my day(:
This game is my childhood and I found out that if you hold the Remote and nunchuck level and even to eachother and just do flicking motions then the game will be ALOT more responsive but it still isn’t perfect I still love this game even with its flawed, but RIP one of my remotes that I accidentally threw against the wall while playing this game
Really cool seeing Blandco, I also love D&D and love watching his vids!
The pipe works godzilla trilogy review is complete.
Ty MIB
This is my favorite out of the 3. Plus, you have to admit that unleashed did improve the music. That soundtrack is beyond gas. I really liked the story overall. If they made this compatable with controllers then the Wii version would be more comfortable to play.
Well done my dude
The story is a very solid setup that I think just needed to be presented more dynamically for more people to get on board. Though I personally don’t mind the cutscenes as they are and wish they would stop being the low hanging fruit of criticisms people reach for when talking about this games flaws
@Cdr2002 Yeah, I agree. I really like the story. The cutscenes weren't that bad. At least we got cut scenes that actually showcased how and what the humans are doing to combat the crystal threat. Plus, we got the VA for Spy from TF2 to be admiral Gozen.
This story was in my opinion, very dope. SpaceGodzilla was getting his revenge against Godzilla and the earth. Gozen wants smoke with Godzilla for losing past battles against him. Miku believes in the earth defenders. He'll even the Vortaak queen gets a spotlight and shows more character development if only a little.
The critical mass designs for the monsters are fucking sick. Plus you can get most of the powersurge crystals and become a Tyrant. A being so powerful that all other factions have to band together to stop you. That's a pretty alternative ending tbh.
@@justzillathekingofgames6867 it’s the kind of big scale story a SpaceGodzilla fan would want out of the character given what a threat he is on paper, Gozen is a perfect character for a Godzilla story and Miku adds a solid perfect human counterpoint to him, and the Vortaak being finally defeated adds some finality to at all. I definitely have to agree with you that the story is much stronger than it gets credit for simply because the cutscenes aren’t presented very dynamically
@Cdr2002 Fr. As a Spacegodzilla fan I couldn't agree more. If I remember correctly, the game was under time constraints and had a low budget. I.E., that's why we got cutscenes as still images. Tbh I didn't really mind them like I said. Feels like a comic book whenever I watch them.
@@justzillathekingofgames6867 time constraints makes sense, and yeah I like the artwork.
UNLEASHEDDDDDDDDDDDDD! My childhood would have never existed without this beauty. It may be buggy, but I love the hell out of it.
Great selection of monsters, surprisingly fitting music, fantastic customization options, but the motion controls are the one thing that keep me from replaying this. Hate them to this day.
They went hard on the soundtrack for this game, I still listen to a lot of the themes to this day!
I choose the Wii as my console because of Godzilla Unleashed. I love this game.
To be honest, the Wii version of Godzilla Unleashed is personal my favorite. The control are weird but I get used to it. This was my 2nd Godzilla game I played. The 1st one was Godzilla: Save The Earth, I think on the PS2 and my 3rd was Godzilla on the PS4 which I also enjoy but I understand the problems.
Fanny's fan is perfect. Reminds me of every hot topic cashier ever and having dated more than one I'm unironically a fan.
A very good way to finish off my first godzilla childhood game i played the ps2 version tho then destroy all monsters on gamecube then save the earth on ps2 then destroy all monsters on og xbox then to top off the last game i played and still have it the wii godzilla unleashed a truly remarkable experience as a kid cuz i was born in 2005 and in 2006 i was introduced to godzilla by my dad and godzilla was my favorite still to this day a little g-fan i was and my big brother had a ps2 and bought godzilla unleashed launch day at fall 2007 and i was so hype that i played it and a few years go by during 2010 my big brother decided that i have the game as a gift because he was more into star wars games so I gave him a new star wars ps2 game for christmas and it was star wars the force unleashed for ps2 and i felt happy he played it and my dad gave me a ps2 slim for christmas now i can play my favorite game such good memories p.s. i also played the spinoffs such as godzilla domination for gba and godzilla unleashed double smash for ds
This game is arguably my favorite wii game ever made. I love so much about this
I remember getting this game for the Wii on Christmas when I was 8. Unlocked every single monster and kept trying to unlock some of bonus content like the monster intros. Couldn't stop playing this game
0:07 (divine holy angel choir singing "aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh") truly glorious. brings a tear to my eye.
God I remember me and my little bro being so hyped for Godzilla: Unleashed on the Wii back in our early high school days, we'd always tune in to Toho Kingdom to see which monsters are in or out and funny enough we still kinda have the images of the monsters that didn't make the cut, it took me to play the game until I finally got a copy I think in 2012, personally it wasn't the best game I've played but on the bright side this game did increase my love for Godzilla that still stayed strong to this day
The music is one of the best things in this game.
This game was my first ever introduction to the Godzilla franchise.
This and Destroy All Monsters: Melee were my first ever Godzilla games and I could not be happier with that.
I have a core memory of a time I took this game to a party nervous no one would like it, but the total opposite happened. Everyone loved this game, I felt pretty cool after that
I do wish Krystalak and Obsisious would make the leap from this game to other media. They could be the Beebop and Rocksteady to Spacegodzillas' Shreader.
I know the controls are a mess. But as someone that played this a lot as a teen, I think the story is genuinely just on the precipice of being really great. A story where you can build relationships on rivalries with various Kaiju and factions sounds just great and has so much potential for individual stories.
This game is pretty much my introduction to this serious along with the movies
10:08 This whole segment sounds like a Snapcube dub
I watch ur videos every day MIB
I can understand the controls ruining the game for you, but because this was my first Godzilla game and the Wii was the system I was accustomed to, I was able to enjoy it as like as the controller itself worked the way it was supposed to. This was my first Godzilla game, one of my favorite childhood games, and was part of what kept my interest in the franchise until I went back to being a super-fan at the age of ten! This game will always hold a special place in my heart as my personal favorite Godzilla video game!
Even if this game isn't perfect you have to admit that the soundtrack is a fucking bop
Hey, I just remembered: MIB already had a #1 fan, Cliff Markowitz of Slickpoo, Idaho! Did Fanny take poor Cliffy out or something?! 😳
i grew up on this godzilla game and wow its so much more different then i last remember because i remember the controls being easy to use and all that jazz
3:42 Good thing Cheato left us something behind.
I've been waiting for this one as this is the first Godzilla game I ever played! And just like alot of others here, it holds a special place in my heart for that. Yeah, the controls aren't the best, but I didn't care about that as a kid, I had so much fun just playing the game as all of these different monsters, making them fight each other in big brawls with my own custom rules. Along with playing the game's story mode alot, it was just something I couldn't get enough of as a kid! And honestly, it just hurts to see it be the last in the trilogy and in general in terms of mainline Godzilla games till the ps3/ps4 game. Though I will say that your comment on it being halfbaked is actually true, the game was rushed in development, and there are some bugs n glitches in the game that you can do. Some of them even freeze the wii itself lol. (I think, idk. Maybe my wii freezing up as I flew around Seattle as Rodan was more of a result of me playing for hours on end that night.) But yeah, if you grew up with a wii like I did, this is a game you'll love as a young Godzilla fan, the countless matchups you could do are endless, so many dream matches a kid would want just right at your fingertips!
I've played this game so much both in my off time and for SuperGodzillaGaming, I pretty much know the game in and out, though it's been a while since I've last played it. Knowing every nook and cranny... It's rough. As you said, very unpolished and unresponsive. Hitboxes are extremely wonky, and certain inputs are just outright useless. AIs tend to enter beam locks when you use your beams 9 times out of 10 (though it's good strategic use of engaging in beam battles, especially when you're able to knock off an entire health cell). I still have fond memories of the game and am mildly forgiving of it as a Godzilla fan. It's still a half-baked fighter that leaves a lot to be desired.
And on the story mode front--conceptually a really fun idea that only ever affects things more on a mechanical gameplay level (i.e. the faction with the most trust points don't attack you / team up with you) than a narrative one. Sure, there are critical "point of no return" decisions that change the narrative (like collecting all the Power Surges). But what I find most disappointing is that playing an Alien Faction monster as an Earth Defender doesn't grant you a special Earth Defender ending--it just goes to the Alien one. You're locked to your faction's ending regardless of what you do (save for Power Surges). It's a darn shame, because I think that would've helped give a much greater incentive to actually explore all the venues and options that the story mode could've had. It leaves the story mode as very superficial without any real meat to it.
And apparently, the voice of Vorticia in GU is Ellen McLaine, most famous as GLaDOS (at least according to IMBD). Same for Dennis Bateman as General Gyozen (the Gotengo dude), known for Pyro and Spy in TF2. Though I find it bizarre that, in all the credits, there's no recognition for the voice cast of GU.
I personally love this game one of my favorites on the wii and the controls work for me
I grew up on this game, and I have to say that it is not as bad as he is making it out to be. I hate out every person who talks about motion controls in Wii games, saying that they are so impossible and hard to use but when I played this I was able to execute a lot of the moves very solidly and I hardly ever found myself stuck or unable to control my character. I know I can’t really say much since I never really played the other games in this series but I think that this game was far better than people give it credit, and I think that the controls were all around it way better than what people say they are.
YES! Nostalgia at it's finest to me! My first godzilla game ever!
Compared to the PlayStation 4 Godzilla game, I prefer the more quick-paced fighting from this game compared to the slow and sluggish movements in the PS4 game
I played it this game on the Wii and I will admit the controls are a little difficult especially controlling your beam attack, and I really like that you can have anime style laser clashes and you can even throw buildings at each other.
However for me the story mode with kind of confusing because as you said each class of Monsters has their own specific goal when it comes to story mode. I mean 41 the only tutorial you get is the one you get when you decide to play as Godzilla or any of the other Earth Defender monsters, and secondly the game doesn't really tell you what your goal is as each monster class.
Not to mention the giant ability crystals in this game. You fight a giant monster being controlled by crystals and if you choose to defeat the monster rather than destroy the crystals controlling it you get the power of those crystals, but unless you read the game guide inside the game case, you don't really know what each power you obtained from the crystals does, not to mention that you have to use the powers you gain in the exact order of the crystals you encountered. There's no way to choose which one you want to use
Overall I would give this game 3.5 out of five stars
Omg your dog is so cute!
Destroy All Monsters Melee is one of my favorite games EVER and is one of my first introductions to Godzilla!
Always wanted to get Godzilla Unleashed but I never did. Thanks for the review!
Love the cameos
4:04 “megaguris”
*proceeds to have a fricking seizure followed by going beserk*
I don't mind that you didn't mention the PS2 version of Unleashed as technically it's just Save The Earth but with the 2 new monsters and Battra, basically you already reviewed Save The Earth so you technically also covered the PS2 version of Unleashed, and I didn't know there were only a handful of Godzilla games left, that's kinda surprising actually, but then that means you'll be reviewing fangames after, I didn't think it would be so soon, I'll still watch your videos regardless of where things go
The real tragedy of this game is if those additional characters were in the PS2 version, that probably would've been the definitive version of the game.
You can *feel* that they cobbled up the Wii version because it was the hottest console in the universe of the universe during that time.
Which is ironic when you consider that Destroy All Monsters Melee was on Gamecube and the Wii for all intent and purpose was basically a Gamecube that was twice as strong with motion controls. So saying Unleashed was being different for the sake of being different is depressingly correct.
13:02 Holy shit, my dream of someone acknowledging Gojira - Kaijuu Daikessen's existence may finally come true!
I've been playing this game since it launched and never had major issues with the controls outside jumping. I don't know why I had this ability but it feels supremely underrated to me as a result
I grew up playing nintendo games like mario and when I herd their was a godzilla game for the wii I was hyped for it! So for my middle school graduation my parents surprised me by getting me the game but we had to drive to get it and my dad didn't tell me what the surprise was so the entire car ride he made it seam like he was taking me skydiving!!! Like we even passed a air field going to the mall the store was at so it was very believable. But ya it was the game and ow boy it didn't disappoint! It was my first godzilla game and to see all the monsters fighting it was awesome! I was use to the wii controls so that didn't hinder me much so I just had fun with it and trying to unlock all monsters by their methods was really fun like hitting certain buildings or objects to spawn them then defeat them next fight to unlock them felt like the movies when a accident happened and one was made... yes I had to look up how to get some.. some I still need to unlock but that's part of the fun. Yes the controls are a bit wieard cant do some actions unless you know how to flick the remote the right way but it's a enjoyable time and they don't really make godzilla games for nintendo concels like Playstation ( godzilla for Playstation that had the sh monster arts figures as a scale for the models that I wish I could play....) so it was nice to play one... I do got double smash for the ds but ya that game is nothing like theirs bosses you can't even play as and the ybbabxyba events yaaa no its a srick to flying until you get to a boss then atomic breath them dead if you try a combo your dead. But ya I like the game wish their make more for nintendo concels thoe don't have a Playstation and the Xbox my little bro has dosent run any of the games wich stinks their so elusive to its crazy but supper fun.
Alright now we got all the pipe works godzilla games together with godzilla unleashed my favorite of the pipe works game trilogy of all time
This is my childhood game and still stands as my favorite game, it was also my first video game, before Wii sports even
8:07 nah that was funny especially your reaction
I recently got it and the controls are a bit to adjust back to but dude it’s so rewarding when you win after putting in actual physical work. Feel like I fought and won instead of just pressing some buttons
Never had a problem with the controls
I had a bigger struggle remembering all the moves since I just suck at remembering. And this isn’t nostalgia talking, I never played it until recently
Cute puppy MIB. We need more videos of him in your videos
"I'm here for fanny" a saying that can be heard pretty much in every club every Friday night in England
They love them some fanny.
Love this game! Hope you'll have a good day
apparently theres a group of people that do mods for the three pipeworks games, including overhaul mods. Would be cool to see you tackle some of those sometime if possible
i respect the dedication on taking a shower fully clothed
I want another game similar to these with the monsters from the recent movies and a gallery that tells you each monsters filmography
One of my greatest gaming memories was when I managed to unlock every single monster with hard work and determination on the PS2 version of this game… so it hurts knowing there was a cheat code to unlock them off the bat.
I loved this game when i was younger
Well it might be difficult because of the Wii controls, I get that, but overall it looks like a great Godzilla game as well! Loved these videos MIB, way too fun to watch!
Also Angela is gorgeous ❤
I really loved this game as a kid. I feel like most people who review this game complain about the Wii controls, which is a little sad. I grew up with a Wii, so the controls never bothered me and I had a blast, so I wonder if this game would be better remembered if it hadn't had motion controls. Maybe if the PS2 version had the Wii version's features? It's a shame that the motion controls drag it down so much.
The review that half of the subscribers ask for
Yes! Mib new upload!
In huge retrospect, I would have loved a Godzilla fighting game on the PSP as a kid. It would have been one of my most played games on Sony's handheld alongside Twisted Metal Head-On and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Oh my childhood I played this Godzilla game multiple times in the DS
ah finally Godzilla Unleashed one my favorite Godzilla of all time,I had played this game at a friend's house a very long time ago, it was enjoyable, the music was good, the kaiju were incredible and it was this godzilla game where I was a fan of Gigan, it was very good remember, thank you MIB because you are my favorite GojiTuber who rocked my childhood with your dark humor on godzilla and I can't wait for September 22, 2023 for the Quadrilogy "Godzilla vs. Jet Jaguar: Sometimes Friends Fight"
Fun fact: The VA for the general that wants to kill Godzilla also voiced TF2 spy and pyro
I was a grown adult by the time I played this, and it was after the Wii era was over by quite a bit, but I got a copy for cheap at GameStop and geeked out over it for a LONG time as I played through the story mode. Yeah, the controls are kinda poopy sometimes, but the monster roster is great and the destructible environments are tons of fun. The only other Godzilla game I had played before this one was Super Godzilla on the SNES, so I didn't really have a lot of experience with Godzilla games at the time. It's still my favorite now, partly because I haven't played a lot of Godzilla games still.
All right, the big one! Let’s go!
I've fully accepted that MIB is a guy born with godzilla's head.
There's a modded version of this game called Godzulla Unleashed Overhaul that improves the controls by using GameCube controls instead of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. It also improves the visuals.
The soundtrack to this game is fire
Why do I feel that the next review would start with a memorial to Fanny who died of sleep deprivation while waiting for the review
