Rawr!
Of the three Godzilla: Unleashed games released (Wii, PS2, and DS), the DS version is, without a doubt, the worst of the bunch. That's saying a lot considering that GameSpot described the Wii version as "the worst thing to happen to Godzilla since getting killed by Mothra's babies." In its review of the DS game, Godzilla: Unleashed Double Smash, Nintendo Power opined, "The slow descent in Godzilla games has finally hit rock bottom."
Nevertheless, publisher Atari had a job to do -- sell copies of the game -- and it did its best to win over fans with monster-sized ads befitting of the radioactive monster. Lurch past the post break to see what we mean!
This mural was spotted in New York City, threatening to stomp on passing pedestrians and fire atomic rays at stopped traffic. Godzilla almost looks like his eyes are squeezed shut, afraid that this badass ad is a too-good-to-be-true dream that he'll soon wake from.

Okay, one last Godzilla image for the road:

Those circle guides are on all official Godzilla merchandise.
The crapitude of Unleashed for Wii is greatly exaggerated by and large, but the DS game is pretty much awful.

The worst thing to happen to Godzilla was Matthew Broderick.
