IGN's review, which was one of the first Dreamcast game reviews by a western source, slammed the game for being tedious and simple. The graphics were also harshly criticized. GameSpot gave the game a 3.2/10, saying that the inability to block and the fact all the kaiju could heal made the game boring.[1]
Fans have generally been much kinder to the game, since it is one of the few that features Minilla and Godzilla 1998 as playable characters, and also one of the few games that allows free-roaming destruction.
