Godzilla: Domination!

"What?! You can't save?"

Introduction
If you ever considered buying Godzilla Domination!, it's probably because you have at least a small interest in Godzilla. Godzilla has had many movies, and a few games(Including one for GCN). The reason I bought this game was because I love Godzilla, and because it was $10.00 new at Target. But once you've played this game for more than an hour, you'll find that the license is the only "good" thing about Godzilla Domination. Read on.

Gameplay 8/10

The gameplay is quite simple, but before you get bored with it it's pretty fun. You walk around a city and try to destroy other monsters, basically. A and B are attacks, L is block, and R is jump. As you destroy small buildings you gain a meter. Once this meter had reached a certain point, you can press two buttons at the same time and use a special attack. I was actually addicted to this game for a while, discovering all the monsters' moves.

Story 5/10
Not much of a story. All the stages for Story Mode begin with this news reporter saying what Godzilla (Or w/e Monster you're playing) is and what's going on.

Graphics 6/10
Not that good, but not terrible either. The graphics are blocky, although I wasn't really bothered in about this department.

Sound/Music 6/10
There are about 3 tunes and 20 sounds in this game. Or maybe it just seems like it because they all sound so similar. But then again, sound isn't what you'd be worried about...

Replayability 2/10
It took me about 30 minutes to notice something terribly wrong: you can't save anything! You can't record high scores, unlock new stages or secrets, or make any progress. In my opinion, there is no point in playing any game like this. You will play this game for a while, get bored with it, and never play it again. This is where Godzilla Domination! really let me down.

Final Recommendation 4/10
I bought this game for $10.00 and I still feel I didn't get my money's worth. There are many great GBA games out there; You don't need to bother with this one.
