A simple but rather satisfying 1v1 fighting game featuring a ton of Godzilla charm. Every character and stage is recreated perfectly from one of the movies, down to Goji being the correct version (nine unique skins total!!) based on who he's fighting and where. Sixteen fighters for versus that you unlock through the story mode which has a fun thing where you get a menu of final bosses at the end based on how high your score was, encouraging better play and trying higher difficulties. The fighting is simple-ish due to TG16 having only two buttons, but there are move variants based on tapping or holding, and they actually manage to cram quite a bit of move variety into the simple inputs - to say nothing of how differently many of the weirder playable kaiju work.

Quite easily the best Godzilla game made by its day, benefitting signifcantly from embracing a simpler, crowd-pleaser type of game, and executing it well.

I do, nevertheless, have to dock it at least half a star for not featuring a playable Jet Jaguar. No excuse.
