Godzilla: World War G

Godzilla: World War G is a 2012 fighting video game based on Toho's Godzilla franchise. It was developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros.

Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360. It was released on December 10, 2012 in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. PlayStation Vita and Windows ports of the game released in February 2013. A PlayStation 4 port of the game was eventually released in December 2013. A comic book of the same name, written by Chris Mowry and Tom Taylor and illustrated by Matt Frank, was released by IDW Publishing on December 16, 2012.

As with Atari and Pipeworks Software's previous Godzilla fighting games, players select Godzilla as well as many of the other monster characters from the franchise's Showa (1954-75), Heisei (1985-95) and Millennium (1999-2004) eras to engage in combat, aiming the defeat their opponent. Unlike the previous Godzilla fighting games, the game is set in a 2.5D environment: while the character models and backgrounds are rendered in three-dimensional graphics and the characters are restricted to fight within a two-dimensional space. Godzilla: World War G builds upon several aspects from NetherRealm's previous game, Mortal Kombat (2011), including it's controls, game mechanics, narrative driven campaign and online functionality. NetherRealm's next game, Injustice: Gods Among Us (2013) would build on these aspects as well.

The story concerns Godzilla and the other monsters going into war against each other after Monster Island is destroyed by the terrorist organization Red Bamboo, with mankind caught in it. Eventually, Godzilla tries to stop the war as an even greater threat looms. The game received positive reviews from critics and fans, who praised the story and gameplay. Godzilla: World War G became one of the highest selling games in the United States and United Kingdom during the month of it's release, just behind Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012). The game also won several awards for "Best Fighting Game" in 2013.
