That said, let's play conspiracy theory here.  All of you saying you are seeing different results, are you running in 480p widescreen or 480i 4:3?

I don't see why it would make a difference, but I'm at least curious to hear.  GP, if you are playing it in 480p like i imagine you are, try hooking it up through 480i and see if anything different occurs.

I won't be able to check until tomorrow but I'll definitely see. Maybe Arbok can beat me to it. The reason why I bring up the unfinished thing is that I've heard from the developers that copies other reviewers got who had early reviews were based on an unfinished game and they were working right to the end which is beyond stupid if Atari did that. And if it turns out this is also the same thing, someone at Atari really needs their head examined.

Then explain why the reviewer states that something like water splashing isn't in it when in my copy it does? Unless he is mistaken, there is something wrong with either his copy or my copy.

Maybe you're just seeing the same thing differently.  You said, "while it isn't spectacular (more of a mist splash) it was there."  He said, "there are some pixilated water drops, but no splash."  That really doesn't sound all that different to me.

That could be possible. Maybe Halbred can clear that up.

By the way, Zach is a Godzilla fanboy.  He still didn't like this game at all.

I'm not even really a big Godzilla fan and I'm enjoying the game the more I play it and get used the controls.

[Halbred]

Here's what happens, in my game, when Godzilla LEAPS into the water:

No splash effect. You can tell that the water is just a suspended texture. Why? Because the camera dipped below the water surface and, in fact, everything is the same color underwater as it is above. Also, when Godzilla hits the water, a bunch of pixels erupt as a sort of "fog" animation, but there are no water EFFECTS. This isn't Wind Waker. Also, when Godzilla is moving through the water, the only noticable effect is that pixels fly out behind him.

And when I say pixels, people, I mean it. They are WHITE, and they are UGLY.

Videos please...actually Professional666 would be the most indicated person to get some videos and see who's not right.

Wait don't you have the game? What do you think of the controls?

[Caliban]

Lol, I do have the game.
I just didn't play enough of it to say anything of relevance. I played 3 or four missions I think,  but from what I played I can agree with the few of you in the opinion that the game is fun but the controls take some time getting used to.
Actually, I'm surprised that GoldenPhoenix likes the game even though she's not a fan of Godzilla, as it is the point that I would certainly use to say to whom this game is good for.
On the other hand the reviewer is a fan of Godzilla, yet he's not having as much fun.
Quite wierd, isn't it.  

[GoldenPhoenix]

Well I wouldn't say I'm not a fan of Godzilla, I'm more of a casual watcher of the movies since they are usually great, corny fun. If I see a Godzilla movie come on TV I'll watch it.  

[Halbred]

Whereas I have every Godzilla movie on DVD, minus Godzilla 1985, Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, and Godzilla vs. Biolantte, because they haven't been released on DVD yet. I do have them all VHS, though (although my VCR broke).

One of our staff members talked with the producer, and this was only an issue with magazine outlets, as they had to get the copies way in advance. It shouldn't still be occurring.

Invasion of Astro-Monster (Godzilla vs. Monster Zero) is out on region 1 DVD. In fact it has been released twice:

[Halbred]

No, not that one. I already have it. I mean Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monsters, which is the prequel to Astro-Monster but for whatever reason has not been released yet. That reminds me, Megalon has also not yet come out on DVD. That's probably a good thing, though.

Sorry--the American titles of the Japanese movies always throw me off.
