Overview
Description

Godzilla: Save the Earth is a 2004 fighting game for PlayStation 2 that pits players against a roster of classic kaiju from the Godzilla film series. The story follows a new threat from the alien Vortaak and their ultimate weapon, SpaceGodzilla, as humanity’s stolen G‑Cells spark a planetary showdown.

Choose from six colossal creatures and smash your way through twelve destructive stages, each set in a different city. The final showdown pits you against a palette‑swapped version of your own monster, testing your mastery of the arena. Team up with a friend in split‑screen co‑op or go solo to pin opponents for a three‑count or survive the timer. Classic SN K arcade action meets monster‑mash sport in this retro fighting experience.
