Godzilla - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) - Summary

Summary

The Angry Nintendo Nerd is reviewing various Godzilla games, expressing his disappointment and frustration with their poor quality. He starts with the 1989 NES game "Godzilla: Monster of Monsters," criticizing its confusing gameplay, poor graphics, and lack of faithfulness to the Godzilla franchise.

He then moves on to the sequel, "Godzilla 2," which he considers an insult to the first game. The gameplay is completely different, with the player controlling the military instead of Godzilla, and the music is horrible.

The Nerd also reviews the Game Boy game "Godzilla," which he finds to be a joke, with Godzilla looking like a dragon from "Bubble Bobble" and the gameplay being boring and unfaithful to the franchise.

He then moves on to the Super Nintendo game "Super Godzilla," which he finds to be a disappointment due to its poor gameplay and confusing controls.

The Nerd's dream game, "Godzilla: Kaiju Daikessen," was only released in Japan and features a tournament-style fighter with various Godzilla monsters. Although it's not a great game, the Nerd would have loved it as a kid.

Finally, the Nerd mentions more recent Godzilla games, such as "Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee" and "Godzilla: Save the Earth," but expresses his disappointment that he didn't get to play them as a kid. He ends the review with a series of curses and insults, emphasizing his frustration with the poor quality of Godzilla games.
