GigaBash has a Godzilla DLC (also an Ultraman one). It was quite the hit
with my kids who both like Godzilla movies.

Yeah, but it's the same ol' thing, innit? You're either Godzilla (or
Legally Distinct But Suspiciously Similar Critter) rampaging through a
city, or you're Godzilla (or LDBSSC) whacking another kaiju and
destroying a city.

It's like the only thing developers can think to do with kaiju is
remake "Rampage" or "King of the Monsters".

I could imagine a 1st person game where you play the kaiju and smash
other monsters and building up etc. Even a 3rd person action game in
the dark souls vein. That might be fun.

I was watching something about Steve Jackson's King Kong the game of the
movie the other day where they had short sequences of that. The
reviewer said they were just the right length, as any more would've been
boring though.

I mean really what more is there to Kaiju though, you beat monsters and
other stuff up. Upgrades and RPG leveling etc. don't make much sense.
Though if they can make a fun souls-like where you play a crab in the
ocean, I guess they could manage for kaiju too.

I really need to figure out this game making things. Lots of ideas, but
don't have the skills.

As any successful writer will tell you, coming up with the ideas is
easy. _Writing_ the idea into a decent story is the hard part.
