As always, Yahtzee doesn't hold back in his criticism, pointing out the game's repetitive gameplay mechanics, underwhelming graphics and lack of real strategy. He compares the game to playing as a slow-moving, bumbling dinosaur in a poorly designed cityscape.
Yahtzee also takes aim at the game's controls, which he describes as "clunky and unresponsive." He argues that the game's lack of intuitive controls can be attributed to the developers' decision to prioritize the game's monster battles over everything else.
Throughout the episode, Yahtzee brings his trademark wit and humor to the review, providing ample opportunities for laughs. He frequently returns to the topic of the game's poor graphics and even likening Godzilla's appearance to "a giant green dildo."

In the end, Yahtzee sums up the game succinctly, saying that while it may be enjoyable for fans of the Godzilla franchise, the game's numerous flaws prevent it from being anything more than a mediocre experience.
