Godzilla: Unleashed preview, new video and pics!

Even before the game's demo release at the NYC Comic Con, IGN posted a new article on the game:

First off, I am absolutely floored that Toho is providing TWO NEW MONSTERS for the game, completely original.

However, I'm somewhat underwhelmed at the video....sure, the graphics are smooth and the destruction looks great, but it largely resembles the last two games.
Nevertheless, if they can stick a bit more bite into the fighting, I'm all over this sucker.

    I don't know what else you were expecting. Super Godzilla Bros? Metal Godzilla Solid? Tactical Rampage Action?

    It's Godzilla, theres only one game you can make with him, you smash stuff and kill monsters with fire breath.

    This game is so bought.

    I hope Jet Jaguar is in it.

    I dunno, I can totally see Godzilla in a giant biplane, starring in his own shmup.

    If this doesn't have Don Frye as a playable character, there's gonna be hell to pay.

    I demand that there be an event match mode in this game and one is entitled "Pretender to the Throne" and you must play Godzilla and fight the American version.

    If the fight lasts for more then 45 seconds you lose.

    Letting off a beam attack is handled by a two button system and aimed in 3D by twisting the Wii Remote to mimic the direction of your character's head. If the two monsters' beams cross, they'll play "volleyball" with an energy ball riding the beam where each player must time their return or else take the hit.

    Cooooool.

    This definitely falls under an 'oh hells yeah'.

    Possibly two.

    I also find the story aspect to be really interesting, having the monsters divided into 4 factions:
    Earth Protectors (Godzilla, Mothra and the like), G Force (MechaGodzilla, Jet Jaguar), Vortaak (Gigan, King Ghidorah), and Mutants (the rogues like Destroyer and Battra).

    However, the number thrown out of 16 is less than the last game...I hope it's just a modest guess.

    I don't think this game looks very good guys. I'd like to to be, but the fighting looks really dumb and boring.

    Hence "very early build" and "Wii controls take getting used to." I'll admit, I was underwhelmed, but I prefer that thing called "optimism," y'know? That thing that 80% of gamers, ages 12-38, ripped from their souls?

    This is apparently going to be playable at the NY Comic Con this weekend, so if I get to play it I'll post impressions here. Keep in mind I've never played DAMM or Save the Earth.
