Godzilla: Unleashed, abbreviated as G3, GU or G:U, is an upcoming Nintendo DS, Wii, and PlayStation Portable video game based on the Godzilla film franchise. Like its previous entries, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Godzilla: Domination, and Godzilla: Save the Earth, the Wii and PSP versions of the game will be developed by Pipeworks and published by Atari. The Nintendo DS version will be developed by Santa Cruz Games and likewise published by Atari. An IGN interview with Pipeworks indicates that the game is being built from the ground up and is specifically designed with the Wii Remote in mind.

Gameplay

Arenas

The only known arenas in Unleashed are New York City, Seattle, Monster Island, and San Francisco. New York City is surrounded by large crystals and is covered in permanent darkness (The crystals act as boundaries). Seattle is covered in snow and ice with smaller boundary crystals.

Critical Mass

A new feature introduced for the Wii version of Unleashed is Critical Mass. It is the Unleashed version of the Save the Earth Rage Mode. The monsters achieve Critical Mass by either destroying the crystals or absorbing their energies. While in Critical Mass, the monsters burst apart at the seams with glowing red light and deal significantly more damage at the cost of their defense. "Unleashed" has also replaced "Rage Attacks" with "Power Surges"; super-powerful attacks that are available in "Critical Mass", and which are unlocked after defeating enemy "boss" monsters in "Critical Mass" while in the "Story Mode" of the game. "Power Surges" are only usable in "Single Player Mode", and any one monster can have several "Power Surges". For example, two of Godzilla 2000's "Power Surges" are the "Radiation Surge", which enables the "Nuclear Pulse" Rage Attack, and the "Fire Surge", which enables the "Finishing Breath" Rage Attack.

Confirmed Kaiju

So far, Atari has revealed eight Kaiju, with an eventual total of 23, two of which are brand new. There are four factions: Earth Defenders, Aliens, Global Defense Force and Mutants.

Story

The storyline of Unleashed begins with a meteor shower raining down on Earth, causing climate shifts and earthquakes. Simultaneously, the kaiju of Earth begin to attack cities across the globe. Factions form among the members of Earth as well as the monsters attacking them, totalling four monster factions. Choices within the story affect later events, including the relationships between Earth factions and the monster ones. Earth Defenders, Global Defense Forces, Alien Invaders, and Mutants have been confirmed by Pipeworks as factions in Unleashed.

Nintendo DS differences

The Nintendo DS version of Unleashed features gameplay akin to a side-scroller, similar to that of the Godzilla: Monster of Monsters. Although graphically 3D, its 2D gameplay could be said to make the game 2.5D, much like New Super Mario Bros.. Using the two-screen display of the Nintendo DS, flying monsters appear on the top screen, whilst grounded monster appear on the bottom screen. A multi-player option will allow for a different player to control each monster.

Development

King Caesar and Anguirus fighting.

There are plans to use WiiConnect24 support for downloading purposes, but the exact details are unknown at this point.
