Fun fact! The game is technically incomplete since Pipeworks was forced to rush the game in order to coincide with the release of Godzilla Final Wars. The story mode was supposed to be more extensive and have a subplot where the Vortek Queen disguised herself as a reporter so that she could steal Godzilla’s G-Cells for her nefarious reasons and there were plans to add more characters, like Biollante as you mentioned, but most of them where scrapped even before the game began production for various reasons. Also, there were going to be more bonus stages and levels to play, including one set in Vegas where (according to concept art) you could pick up the guitar of the Hard Rock Cafe Casino and smash it on the head of your enemy.
The guitar bit would be so cool. The final wars part makes sense since I remember when I played the game there was a section that had concept art of Godzilla Final Wars to promote the movie.
@@andrewdau1299 Ironically in the next game Monster X almost ended up in the game, only for the developers discovering that the game engine was barely able to handle its transformation into Kaiser Ghidorah and completely collapsed when two of them were in the game simultaneously.
@@Evilriku13 Ah yes, allow only ONE player to play as what would possibly have been the most broken and overpowered character in the game. What a good idea
Thank you, Godzilla: Save the Earth. From the bottom of my heart for being the most epic introduction to the franchise I could've asked for and making me the G-fan I am today.
Me too man. I always knew who Godzilla was based on the 98 film and my dad telling me "that's not really Godzilla". It wasnt until this game until I had a full appreciation for the franchise
To me, this is the holy grail of Godzilla games. To this day this is my favorite Godzilla game to ever come out, and I doubt something will ever top it
These days all the different characters would be DLC, with multiple skins, for added micro transactions, no offline multiplayer and barely any unique game modes
I remember as a kid I went to Blockbuster and rented a Fairy Odd Parents game on Xbox. When I got home and opened the case I was instead greeted with Godzilla Save the Earth. This is what introduced me to Godzilla and was the very start of the biggest and greatest obsession of my childhood. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the cashier put the game in there on purpose.
The weird thing about the games, is that they really show you how effective and innovative a SpaceGodzilla fight could have been in his movie. So many powers, so many things that could have been done. But no...the movie was rushed and we got a monster that just stood around most the time. And the game really did make Megalon and Orga have some new fans which is always a good thing.
Godzilla: Save the Earth was one of the first PS2 games, first Godzilla game, and the first video game I've ever played! This is one of my favorite games of all time!!!
I remember this so fondly, me and my brother got a ps2 for Christmas and this is one of the two games we got first for the system and we both played it for hours.
Hi MIB! THIS IS IT. *MY DEFINITIVE GODZILLA GAME!!!!!* This my first ps2 game for Christmas and boy it delivers!!!!! This is easily my favorite Godzilla game of all time I had so many fond memories playing this game with my brother so much, the disc took quite the beating that I'm happy it's still playable and holds up today!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!
This game Godzilla DAM melee and Godzilla unleashed were my childhood. I remember unlocking king ghidorah before going to school and felt so much excitement. Easily one of my all time favorite video games
i actually liked cheeto i didnt know he was a joke i just liked his appearance picturing him as mib’s version of ghidorah instead of a annoying rival he’s his lovable partner
Hell yeah, this game was a huge part of my childhood. I still remember begging my mom to pick it up for me as an early Christmas gift and just looking at the box and reading the manual the whole ride home.
I still remember walking into my tiny middle of nowhere Gamestop, toddler son in tow, and trying these games out. It was a few more years before I owned any of them, but they were 100% worth the wait. Genuinely so much fun. Classic "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Glad you finally felt like covering them. 😍
I'm kinda surprised you didn't bring up how busted Mothra is with her Full Heal. Also it was so weird that they made Jet Jaguar reflect beams when he's small.
You know strangely, Baragon was meant to appear exclusively on the PS2 for the previous game but was canceled. Not to mention that Biollante was also meant to appear in both versions of the game but didn't make the cut due to licensing issues.
there is a mod version of it, its still being made with so many monsters in mind, its call godzilla saves the earth melee (or stem for short) and every single monster from save the earth is gonna be there and also from unleashed (wii) its alot of fun and theres even trailers for monsters such as godzilla 2000 and orga (and even godzilla 2014!!)
Fun fact for Biollante. She’s no where near as finished as the developer claimed. She’s missing a lot of moves she deals way too much damage to other monsters and sometimes will just outright crash the game when being played. Shame she wasn’t included. Because Godzilla unleashed was definitely not the ideal debut for our beloved plant monster
It wasn’t till after I graduated high school that I was finally able to play this game but man oh man, the memories of me and the boys spending hours playing this game. So much fun and probably my favorite Godzilla game besides domination on the game boy advanced
I think that pause before the KO is to play the animation of the Kaiju slowly falling over dead. But most of the time, they’re already on the ground, so it feels awkward
Well you know this game is good when the fans take matters into their own hands to remake it into Godzilla Save The Earth Melee. With updated graphics, more monsters, and updating the characters' movesets.
Thye only thing that bothers me about this game (and Unleashed), is that, when you do a team battle, you can damage your ally, and they can damage you, basically the "friendly fire".
This game was everything in my childhood, that picked it up for me. When he and mom went on a vacation together, he raised me on the VHS Godzilla's and gave me his Godzilla figure from his childhood, I still can't wait till Monday. See it on the play times!!!!!!!!! But doing the monster volleyball when they would go into the green force field and bounce back and you just kept hitting them was so epic! Soon I was babysitting my little cousin and he loved video games, so we would turn the speaker to play a tape, and it was full of children songs, green grass grows all around, man on the flying trapeze, down in Dixie, there was just something so funny to us timing the monster punches kicks and building launches with the lyrics to the songs, so many good memories! I'm so excited this review is here!!!!!!!!! And equally great as the children's songs to mass monster mayhem, is getting to see the Mass monster mayhem voice by the monster island buddies buddies!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite and first Godzilla video game of all time 😎💯 plus the intro is absolutely awesome 👍 thanks for reviewing this nostalgic video game 👍
It was one of the first video games I have a memory of playing. I’ve owned it forever and still play it from time to time. I’m just watching so we can all love this game together!
I didn't have this but back in the day my Karate place used to have these parties every once in a while where we'd hook up tvs and consoles to every outlet in the building for all night video games/movies/pizza/dodgeball, and this game along with smash bros, SW Battlefront were the most common one, each would be playing on at least 2 tvs, i only played this game once or twice, but I remember playing as Mecha-King Ghidorah
This was my second game. My first was unleashed. But man was STE so much fun. I still have my copies of STE(ps2),DAMM(gamecube), and Unleashed for both Ps2 and Wii. I still play them all from time to time. Great work as always my dude.
I remember my friend playing it when we were kids. Mind you, this was at a time when i didn't know Jack squat about video games so, i just enjoyed watching him play. It's where i learned about all of the other Kaiju that existed in the Godzilla-verse
I just had a genius idea: Godzilla and Rodan and Jet find a console of games and they play their favorite games and talk over it arguing! MONSTER ISLAND BUDDIES GAMER NIGHT!!!!!!
I remember having this game. It was one of my first three games I got with my Xbox. I remember it as Destroy All Monsters though, so I guess whoever had it before me put it in the wrong box or maybe it was a knock off. Oh yeah, the cheated death joke was super obvious but it was still golden.
Honestly I would love to watch a set of videos of the Monster Island Buddies crew acting out in these matches and just listen to them going at it with each other.
Hey MIB, have you heard about an upcoming project called Godzilla Save the Earth Melee? It’s a project where an independent group of Godzilla fans are remaking and remastering the Pipeworks Godzilla games. It’s still in development, but it looks absolutely amazing!
MIB if you did a live stream of this game doing either the story or versus mode while also doing the characters voices that would be the best thing ever 👌
I remember going to the Godzilla save the earth site all the time when i was younger, just to watch the videos on there. It would be very fun to see a new version of this on modern consoles, but I doubt it will happen. though the games apparently have a good modding scene. Im still trying to rebuy Godzilla ps4, I sold it when I needed money and that was before they shot up in price
One thing I love about this game is how godzilla grabs them.. It's like a WWE wrestling grab and Godzilla is about to do the back breaker... I don't know.
I usually don't like to comment on videos. But I remember when I was a kid. My dad knew I really loved Godzilla. And I also had the original xbox but I didn't really play much as it was a games except spider man cause I really love spider man And I'll always remember when he gave me that godzilla save the earth game the cover will always be cemented intno my brain
I get a lot of people requested this review, but I feel like he only did it now because he had the idea for the Cheeto joke & wanted to put that in a video.
My younger self liked the game enough to continue playing it despite not having a memory card for the longest time, so I had to unlock everybody every time I played.
8:12 When G14 releases on it, do a review on the fan game Godzilla Save the Earth Melee, a true resurrection for this trilogy with such a huge roster left to see!

@@emanuelepolloni4002 I mean they could do it like in older video games, just limit one character to one of players while the rest can pick whatever.
Imagine a remake of Save the Earth but with the cut content added back in
@@Evilriku13 Ah yes, allow only ONE player to play as what would possibly have been the most broken and overpowered character in the game. What a good idea
Thank you, Godzilla: Save the Earth.
From the bottom of my heart for being the most epic introduction to the franchise I could've asked for and making me the G-fan I am today.
What was your favorite monster to play as
@@animezilla4486
Not sure, really. Either both Godzilla versions, Gigan, Mechagodzilla 2 and 3, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Baragon, Orga or Jet Jaguar.
@@awesomeproductions7755 those are all great choices for me is definitely Baragon I really hope he will appear in the monsterverse
Me too man. I always knew who Godzilla was based on the 98 film and my dad telling me "that's not really Godzilla". It wasnt until this game until I had a full appreciation for the franchise
I’ll never forgot the time I found this while on holiday in Wales tucked away in a Game store back in 2010 was like I found the Holy Grail
Congrats. Was it region compatible?
I always wanted to play it
Wait a minute I didn’t know that we got the Godzilla video games here in the UK
@@albertwesker6153uk man and can confirm
@@albertwesker6153 I'm from England, me and my brothers used to play this non stop, think my dad brought it for us way back in 2005
3:37 Well according to the game's manual, the name of that move (which is the only fierce attack jet jaguar has) is called Drunken Monkey.
Wow. I Guess The Developers Were Also Drunken When They Named It.
It's always fun putting MIB in funny scenarios in these thumbnails!! 💙💙💙
The art is always appreciated
To me, this is the holy grail of Godzilla games. To this day this is my favorite Godzilla game to ever come out, and I doubt something will ever top it
Be nice if they at least TRIED though.
@ridergamer9986
Yeah.
True very true indeed
These days all the different characters would be DLC, with multiple skins, for added micro transactions, no offline multiplayer and barely any unique game modes
Also, there's a big mod overhaul in the works called Save the Earth: Melee. It's gonna have new characters, too!
This is probably my favorite childhood game. I used to play it with my brother all the time. Good times.
I remember as a kid I went to Blockbuster and rented a Fairy Odd Parents game on Xbox. When I got home and opened the case I was instead greeted with Godzilla Save the Earth. This is what introduced me to Godzilla and was the very start of the biggest and greatest obsession of my childhood.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if the cashier put the game in there on purpose.
Holy shit, this is just amazing. You were destined to become a Gfan
5:54 I would to see a full episode of monster island buddies like this that would be funny as hell
The weird thing about the games, is that they really show you how effective and innovative a SpaceGodzilla fight could have been in his movie.

This game definitely is the best Godzilla game ever to me too

3:53 “Idk, Facebook?” So true
Ladies and gentlemen we have officially gotten the five stars 7:46
I still remember walking into my tiny middle of nowhere Gamestop, toddler son in tow, and trying these games out. It was a few more years before I owned any of them, but they were 100% worth the wait. Genuinely so much fun. Classic "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Glad you finally felt like covering them. 😍
3:56
Cheeto: Where do old jokes go when they die MIB
MIB: IDK Facebook?
Such fond memories of this game, it is actually the first of the pipeworks games I ever got.
I love how proud you were of pelting Cheeto with his namesake.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't bring up how busted Mothra is with her Full Heal. Also it was so weird that they made Jet Jaguar reflect beams when he's small.
You know strangely, Baragon was meant to appear exclusively on the PS2 for the previous game but was canceled.
Not to mention that Biollante was also meant to appear in both versions of the game but didn't make the cut due to licensing issues.
I honestly was not expecting Cheeto to cheat death, 💀
there is a mod version of it, its still being made with so many monsters in mind, its call godzilla saves the earth melee (or stem for short) and every single monster from save the earth is gonna be there and also from unleashed (wii) its alot of fun and theres even trailers for monsters such as godzilla 2000 and orga (and even godzilla 2014!!)

Because Godzilla unleashed was definitely not the ideal debut for our beloved plant monster
8:43 Made me AND Cheeto pass away💀
You did a Kaiju Profile for Jet Jaguar and Orga too! I loved those!
5:56 - 6:45 I didn't know how much I needed that...
You have no idea how long I’ve waited for that Cheetos for Cheato joke
Cheeto is the glue that keeps this crazy channel together
I seriously would love an HD remaster of Godzilla Saves The Earth. I would play it all the time on the Switch. 🦖🦋
It wasn’t till after I graduated high school that I was finally able to play this game but man oh man, the memories of me and the boys spending hours playing this game.
So much fun and probably my favorite Godzilla game besides domination on the game boy advanced
I think that pause before the KO is to play the animation of the Kaiju slowly falling over dead. But most of the time, they’re already on the ground, so it feels awkward
1:45 summing up Wile E. Coyote’s plans in a nutshell:
And Dr. Eggman.
Man I haven't seen your channel in ages good to see this again.
Honestly any day uploaded by you is a good day, especially the 3d video game ones
Been wanting this video since the first game review video!
You know it's good when MIB role-playing three main characters
Got this game for Christmas in 2004 on the PS2. The best Godzilla game on the best gaming console. 🤘
5:54 best part
Well you know this game is good when the fans take matters into their own hands to remake it into Godzilla Save The Earth Melee. With updated graphics, more monsters, and updating the characters' movesets.
Man I've been waiting for this review for months
Thye only thing that bothers me about this game (and Unleashed), is that, when you do a team battle, you can damage your ally, and they can damage you, basically the "friendly fire".
5:54 I like this segment of the video where its like a monster island buddies episode but in a game.also this part: 3:09
*new undies pwease*
This game was everything in my childhood, that picked it up for me.

I still play this regularly and I have never gotten tired of it.
I’ve been waiting for this review over 3000 years it seems like now it’s finally here and I can rest ?
One of my favorite and first Godzilla video game of all time 😎💯 plus the intro is absolutely awesome 👍 thanks for reviewing this nostalgic video game 👍
It was one of the first video games I have a memory of playing.
I’ve owned it forever and still play it from time to time.
I’m just watching so we can all love this game together!
It’s one of the best and I wish that they would make a rerelease on newer consoles
The Monster island buddies bit was fun.
Congrats Cheato, you just made Tony Todds' hit list.
I didn't have this but back in the day my Karate place used to have these parties every once in a while where we'd hook up tvs and consoles to every outlet in the building for all night video games/movies/pizza/dodgeball, and this game along with smash bros, SW Battlefront were the most common one, each would be playing on at least 2 tvs, i only played this game once or twice, but I remember playing as Mecha-King Ghidorah
A great uprgade from the Destroy All Monsters, amazing game!!
This game basically introduced me to Godzilla
This was my second game. My first was unleashed. But man was STE so much fun. I still have my copies of STE(ps2),DAMM(gamecube), and Unleashed for both Ps2 and Wii. I still play them all from time to time.
Great work as always my dude.
5:54 What I’m here for
My first PS2 game. So much memory!
Can't wait for the Unleashed review, that one got rid of the Super Moves in favor of a power up system if memory serves.
I remember my friend playing it when we were kids. Mind you, this was at a time when i didn't know Jack squat about video games so, i just enjoyed watching him play. It's where i learned about all of the other Kaiju that existed in the Godzilla-verse
The game also featured beam clashes i believe. And so did unleashed
I remember getting this game from my cousin all those years ago, good times
I remember buying my unopened copy back in 2014 for $230, don't regret a thing
I just had a genius idea: Godzilla and Rodan and Jet find a console of games and they play their favorite games and talk over it arguing! MONSTER ISLAND BUDDIES GAMER NIGHT!!!!!!
I remember having this game. It was one of my first three games I got with my Xbox. I remember it as Destroy All Monsters though, so I guess whoever had it before me put it in the wrong box or maybe it was a knock off.
Oh yeah, the cheated death joke was super obvious but it was still golden.
I remember playing this game so much that I play this game while a Godzilla movie playing on 📺.
MIB is a comedic genius really the only channel that makes me laugh
7:07 A sneak peek of Godzilla vs Jet Jaguar: Sometimes Friends Fight🦖🤖
Godzilla save the earth was my first Godzilla game and I love it. It is still so awesome and fun who’s with me
When I first saw Jet Jaguar first do the "drunken monkey" 3:34 (yes that's the name of the move) I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF.
"Dude cover your fucking mouth when you cough"
Awh hell I love this MIBuddy
I used to bring that game to my church youth group! My friends and I enjoyed playing it in the game room!
Honestly I would love to watch a set of videos of the Monster Island Buddies crew acting out in these matches and just listen to them going at it with each other.
Hey MIB, have you heard about an upcoming project called Godzilla Save the Earth Melee? It’s a project where an independent group of Godzilla fans are remaking and remastering the Pipeworks Godzilla games. It’s still in development, but it looks absolutely amazing!
Here's a little bit of a quest I want you to make a monster island's buddies gaming channel where they all just play games together lol
I’ve been dreaming of playing this game since I was a little kid
The AI on hard mode was usually smarter than I was.
MIB if you did a live stream of this game doing either the story or versus mode while also doing the characters voices that would be the best thing ever 👌
This game is one of the rare ones were MIB gave it a 5-star rating
We did it! Were finally here!
7:47 HE'S FINALLY ASCENDED TO HEAVEN!!! HE DID IT! HE FINALLY DID IT!!!
I remember going to the Godzilla save the earth site all the time when i was younger, just to watch the videos on there.
It would be very fun to see a new version of this on modern consoles, but I doubt it will happen. though the games apparently have a good modding scene.
Im still trying to rebuy Godzilla ps4, I sold it when I needed money and that was before they shot up in price
So is cheeto some kind of remodeled dorat puppet?
One thing I love about this game is how godzilla grabs them.. It's like a WWE wrestling grab and Godzilla is about to do the back breaker... I don't know.
I usually don't like to comment on videos. But I remember when I was a kid. My dad knew I really loved Godzilla. And I also had the original xbox but I didn't really play much as it was a games except spider man cause I really love spider man And I'll always remember when he gave me that godzilla save the earth game the cover will always be cemented intno my brain
I've always dug the Asteroid Belt challenge. It's a fun rail shooter bit.
Oh my god. My childhood nostalgia has returned
You have to start making Monster Island buddies fights in these games now lol
Godzilla Save the Earth was my first ever video game I owned
I remember seeing it on a shelf when I was 4 years old and it blew my mind to smithereens
I just bought a copy of this for the ps2 like 2 weeks ago after not playing it for like 15 years. I almost teared up while watching the intro cutscene
I get a lot of people requested this review, but I feel like he only did it now because he had the idea for the Cheeto joke & wanted to put that in a video.
This game is just incredible, I like that you are talking about this game.
Love your content man feels like a tgwtg review but not cringey
Genuinely my favorite game.
My younger self liked the game enough to continue playing it despite not having a memory card for the longest time, so I had to unlock everybody every time I played.
I can’t wait until Godzilla save the earth melee fan game
8:12 When G14 releases on it, do a review on the fan game Godzilla Save the Earth Melee, a true resurrection for this trilogy with such a huge roster left to see!
Called it, but still… lulz 😂
RIP & welcome back, Cheato!
