### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-07-13*

Cool game, runs pretty smooth. Would be cool to have virtual joystick controls as the accelerometer ones are very clunky.

### 1/5 — Awful Controls

*2016-10-17, version 1.9.1*

The controls are terrible. There is no way to go forwards. You need to have some kind of virtual button system. Otherwise, this game is unplayable garbage.

### 2/5 — boatbutter's review

*2016-02-12, version 1.9*

Always loved the game, but I wish the controls worked.  Had better luck with it on the iPad.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2014-06-02, version 1.9*

This is a cool game i really like it :D

### 2/5 — Fix

*2014-05-30, version 1.9*

I would give it a five star but I can't move forward. Also turning of tilt to move does not change your controls. 🐊🏢🏥🏦

### 4/5 — Really cool

*2014-05-16, version 1.9*

This game is an awesome giant monster simulator. The only complaint I have is that the controls are a bit wonky, but once you get used to it, destroying a city is an excellent time waster.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2013-06-12, version 1.8.1*

Crap absolutely crap 1star is too good for this crap

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2013-05-25, version 1.8.1*

Normally I hate iPhone games but this one is awesome. The game play is great. I love the different monsters you can play as. It reminds me of Godzilla unleashed and Godzilla destroy all monsters melee. I don't have Godzilla unleashed anymore and one of the wires for my GameCube broke so I can't play destroy all monsters either. So this game is great as a replacement.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2012-10-21, version 1.8.1*

I had this game back on my old Motorola Q, and it was a fantastic game. I was hoping to be able to play this and have a little nostalgia. However due to awful controls I can not enjoy this game. Please fix it, I would be the first to change my review to something more positive.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2011-10-17, version 1.8*

I always loved Godzilla, and other kaiju movies, Flutters my favorite monster from the game( because my favorite from the movies was Mothra)
