Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The player controls military forces trying to prevent Godzilla and other giant monsters from destroying cities.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is generally disliked because of its difficult and random-seeming combat system, where the player must stop symbols on a slot machine to see how much damage they do when attacking.
Usually the player controls tanks and planes, but specialized attack vehicles from Godzilla movies such as maser tanks, the Super-X 2 from Godzilla vs. Biollante, and the SY-3 from Destroy All Monsters become available in later missions. In the first mission the player can even use the Oxygen Destroyer.
[edit] Monsters
- Godzilla: The most common monster, and one of the most powerful.
- Baragon: A tunneling creature, special ability is to dig underground and become invisible, but he can be detected by a radar car.
- Rodan: A flying, highly mobile monster.
- Hedorah: A monster made of polluted slime.
- King Ghidorah: Three-headed space dragon, possibly the most powerful monster.
- Mothra: A moth-styled monster, also appears in larva form. Initially an enemy, but in later missions becomes a friendly unit if the player finds its egg.
- Giant Octopus: A giant octopus with an unknown name. He is very slow but is hard to get because of its tentacles.
