POCG VERDICT
Written off as a disaster, it's actually a gorgeous, surprisingly fun stomp.
A city-flattening kaiju game far better than its reputation, gorgeous and fun despite too-few levels and zero challenge.
About This Game

Godzilla Generations is a 1998 Dreamcast launch game from Sega in which you stomp through Japanese cities as Godzilla and other kaiju, flattening everything in sight against a ticking clock. Six unlockable monsters, a grading system and a VMU-linked Arena mode round it out.
