[edit] Archived

I just archived the page again, now that the game is out. --98.193.61.220 (talk) 21:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing game guide content

Head's up, I removed all the excessive lists. It is game guide material, not a summary of gameplay (see here).--CM (talk) 20:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Was it really neccesary to completely remove the list of monsters?--Marhawkman (talk) 23:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Please mention why you are reverting certain edits which I have given full reason to why I have. If you don't that would be considered trolling/vandalism, notably if you revert multiple times in a row within 24 hours. You must state your reasons. If you think mine are wrong discuss them here.

[edit] Assessment

This is a response to Stabby's request at my talk page. Though, it seems like ages since I last did an assessment for WP:VG/A, I'll have a go...

Currently, this article is very nice. It's a healthy overall length and has a number of images (with fair use rationales - yay!). Having said that, I think it's borderline Start/B. It's definitely not far from B (or GA, for that matter). Here are some things which, if rectified, would get you up to B in my books:

  • Large portions of the article are in list format:
  • The Kaiju section is both list-esque and veering on game guide-esque. I think the only really useful information is how the factions differ, so this entire section can be summarised by one paragraph in the Gameplay section.
  • The endings can easily be de-listified and turned into one paragraph. There's no need for the endings to have their own section: just stick the information at the end of the plot section.
  • The characters information can be trimmed down and put into paragraphed prose by removing the details from their backgrounds. You shouldn't need more than a couple of sentences to describe this.
  • Development and Reception sections have an unhealthy number of one- and two-sentence paragraphs, which should be avoided like the plague due to their not-very-nice-to-read-ness. Merge and expand paragraphs where necessary to achieve this.
  • Reception section is also a little light.

Other things which aren't essential to get this article from Start to B but shouldn't take too long to sort out:

  • Lead section needs to be expanded (WP:LS): give an overview of the entire article in 3-4 paragraphs.
  • Paragraph 2, lead section: aswell should be as well, or in addition to etc
  • The last paragraph of the Reception section: Fan and player reactions to the game have been more positive. In my experience that's the case with most games: either expand this paragraph and show how this fact is notable or remove it.
  • A lot of the references have [[redundant square bracket thingies]] around the dates.
  • Formatting of external links needs to be fixed.

Well, that's all that springs to mind at present. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps, Una LagunaTalk 20:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] for DS

i've seen this game on nintendo DS too. why it doesn't say anything at all about this in the article seems a little odd.... 86.154.117.100 (talk) 13:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe thats because the DS version, Godzilla: Unleashed Double Smash is a totally different game in terms of gameplay, style, graphics, content. Stabby Joe (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Description of the "Mutents" Ending...

It says "Several cities are seen being destroyed by the crystals when SpaceGodzilla and the Mutants have won, when suddenly SpaceGodzilla appears and roars in triumph." That makes no sense. Shouldn't it be "Several cities are seen being destroyed by the crystals when Krystalak and the Mutants have won, when suddenly SpaceGodzilla appears and roars in triumph."? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.26.133.148 (talk) 19:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
