Mission Mode: Bash your way through each stage to take out the Energy Generator and proceed to the next area. Be sure to smash as many other buildings in the stage as possible to maximize your G-Energy.

King of Monsters Mode -Where Godzilla must fight his way through the franchises most famous enemies to reach the top of the monster hierarchy and claim the throne as the true King of Monsters.

Your record will be posted online within the game's online ranking with other fantastic Gojira players!!

Evolution Mode: -This mode is critically important as it is a mode where you build up Gojira into the atomic horror that he truly is!

-------------------------------------------------
GAME and STORY SETTINGS:

ゴジラ-GODZILLA is an action-single player game, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. Players take control
of the iconic king of the monsters, Godzilla, and rampage all across Japan in various missions, destroying
humanity and experiencing titanic monster battles! The game is a celebration of Godzilla's 60th Anniversary,
and the icon's successful revival back into the world!!

"Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, first appeared in 1954. Scientists studied Godzilla and found that they could harness energy from the monster. Called "G-Energy," this seemingly endless source of power was used to better the lives of all mankind. 60 years later, just when mankind's memory of the beast faded, Godzilla appeared again. Godzilla destroyed at will, all in search of more G-Energy. Such irony, the same G-Energy which was used to better the people's lives, also caused Godzilla to awaken. Can the G-Force, mankind's last hope, stop Godzilla? What fate awaits Godzilla once he has consumed all of the G-Energy, and grown to his full potential?"

GAME CONTROLS and COMMAND LAYOUT:

pressing other attack buttons during the grapple, will allow you to Blast, Bite, and
Throw your opponent!

Pressing the X Button will prompt Godzilla to rampage forth in a powerful charge rush,
this attack will only cover a short distance!

CAMERA Control: The SFX Camera can be engaged at four precise locations all over map,
each spot brings a cinematic angle that emulates the Toho films within their own way. If you press
the select button, you can take snap-shot photos and view them later within the Galley.

Right Analog(R3): Controls Camera View. Pressing Down on the R3 will engage in the SFX Camera Mode.
-----------------------------------------------------

HUD LAYOUT: (UPDATED)




Energy Rate: This meter showcases and gauges how high you can chain and pile up your landed attacks.
Scoring larger and larger hit counts will increase the number rate, If you're to stop attacking, the meter will decrease, and
once it drains completely, the hit counts you built up will be lost.

Temperature: This meter represents your nuclear reserves/power, this meters allows the player
to use Gojira's iconic abilities like Atomic Breath, Nuclear Pulse, and Spiral Breath. When these abilities are used, the meter
will be consumed, how much of the meter is consumed depends on how many times the player uses said abilities in continuous
sessions, or how heavily they charge their attacks. Once the meter is drained completely, no abilities can be used until the meter
refills itself again.

MAP: The map reveals the area around the player, pinpointing the location of G-Generators, Enemy forces, and
the location of the player's character as well. The map also marks out the target of objectives that the player must deal with throughout
the stage.

Disaster/Hazard Level: As you unleash great destruction onto the map by destroying city structures, G-Generators, G-Force towers,
and military forces. A gauge will gradually build up, this being the Disaster Level. Once the gauge has been filled up, it will summon powerful
reinforcements from G-Force, bringing forth overwhelming punishment to the player. The gauge can be increased to new levels, each level
unleashing more hordes of military forces. Should you build it high enough, it will summon mini bosses like the Super Xs and inevitably Kiryu.  

It will only last for several minutes, but should you destroy them, they will temporarily retreat until the next level is reached.
-------------------------

Height: "Height" records your current height in-game, and keeps track of any growths spurred by absorbing the nuclear radiation
known as G-Energy, and destroying the stage's environment. The maxing of "Height" for Gojira is 100 meters, you begin the game at 50 meters, but
can evolve to such peaks throughout the game.

Destruction Ratio: "Destruction Ratio" tells the player how much of the map is destroyed in-game.

Boss Health Bar: During the engagement of a Major Boss or Mini Boss, their health bar will appear at the top of the screen. Along with their
name, and their present "Meter Class".

TIME: In the corner of the screen, a timer will be located showing off how much time you have to complete
whatever mission you are currently enduring. It's unclear if this goes for all missions, or just "timed" missions.

HEALTH: Like certain games out there, your health is unseen. But if you're taking extreme damage, an indication of your health being crushed
down will be fiery streaks of red and orange all around the screen. This means you're about to die. If don't take anymore damage, your health will regenerate itself. But take any heavy damage while near death and you will die.

SFX CAMERA: There are four blocks at the bottom right of the screen(1,2,3,4), these are location marks in which you can engage the SFX Camera freely.
When you have entered one of these areas, one of the boxes will be highlighted, and the camera icon will appear. Activate it, and a small timer gauge will appear and dwindle down, telling you when the game is about to take a picture. Once the gauge is gone, a photo will be taken.

G-ENERGY, GROWTH, AND EVOLUTION(UPDATED):  Collect G-Energy in each stage to Power-Up your Godzilla! Grow Godzilla from 50 up to 100 Meters tall. Godzilla's defensive and offensive prowess will increase in line with his size. Your Godzilla will also learn new skills, and you can power up his beam as well! Power up enough, and Godzilla will even fly!

G-Energy are collected from G-Generators, these towering reactors contain the power you seek out, however they are armed with defenses that can knock you off your feet. Destroy these generators and you'll attain heights of capabilities. Each time you damage them, each of the Generator's reactors will shutdown and turn red. Depending on how reactors are stacked, will determine how many times you will need to attack it.

Growing larger and more powerful is important, because there will be enemy monsters within larger Meter Classes that will overpower and crush you if you don't have the strength or weight to back you up. However be warn, absorbing too much G-Energy will produced nightmarish results.

EVOLUTION MODE: This is a specific mode that can be naturally accessed from the game's main menu.
From this mode, unlockable abilities and techniques can be attained and equipped to Gojira, which can be used throughout Destruction Mode and
potentially, King of the Monsters Mode as well.

These abilities can be unlocked by completing various missions, unlocking content related to the Monster Field Guide, and filling out the game's
Gallery. Conditions and requirements vary based upon the ability that you're trying to obtain. Each attack can be effective against a boss within the game,
without them, than don't expect a solid fight against a powerful opponent. And yes, these abilities can be chained into numerous "Rushes", which can certainly lend aid towards your potential victory.

This mode is critically important, so check back to it as much as possible. It's unclear if upgraded or newly equipped abilities can be removed or changed out for others.

EVOLUTION MODE LIST: These are all upgrade-able moves that the player can unlock and equip to Gojira! These powerful
abilities can only be unlocked by completing certain conditions through Destruction Mode. Generally, destroying famous landmarks
will allow to unlock them. But as does defeating special boss matches like winning against a 100 Meter Class Boss.

SIDE NOTE: While you can use these powerful moves, you can only use them against monsters whose data have been collected and added onto
the abilities listings. The list is upon the right side underneath the Equip Points. It will inform you which monsters you can use them against depending if you have their data. If their number is: x0 then that means that you can use said abilities against said monster should you ever fight. Even if it's equipped.

MISSION WALKTHROUGHS: This section will be entirely dedicated to the missions/stages enlisted within the game's "Destruction Mode".


Destruction Mode(Story Mode): This specific mode is the game's general Story Mode, where you take control over a newly awakened Gojira and rampage all across Japan in the pursuit of G-Energy. Except for the first 2-3 Stages which are exactly like the Demo, the story mode is non-liner, meaning you can rampage whatever stages you want out of the 20+ missions that the game has. Depending on your play-style, and how you decide to go about in handling your mission, you can trigger major boss battles of various meter classes and engage resistance from the Disaster Level.

Monster Bosses will appear randomly for the most part, but certain routes will lead to specific bosses.

STAGE 1: The stage of the game allows the player to grab a handle on Gojira, your main and only objective is to wade through all
opposing forces and reach the G-Generator upon the map. You are to destroy the G-Generator and absorb its G-Energy. The difficulty is on
"EASY", so you can stretch yourself out and learn how to control Gojira.

Tips: Destroy all structures and forces upon the map, you don't have to of course, but by doing so, you will increase your growth. This
can be extremely helpful in the long run against tougher opponents. The evolution you've endured will carry over to the next stage.

UNDERSTANDING DESTRUCTION MODE MAP! MAY LAYOUT

Destruction Mode - Stages/Area Map!!


EASY Stages/Areas: Blue Boxes
NORMAL Stages/Areas: Purple Boxes
HARD Stages/Areas: Brown Boxes

Throughout Destruction Mode, you can travel throughout multiple branches with various difficulties. However, depending on what path you choose, will determine what areas you miss out on. Which as a result can lead you to miss more special boss battles!

DESTOROYAH: To engage this boss battle, the most solid way is to rampage through the HARD Stages completely.

Conditions: Grow to 85-90 Meters and Raise Disaster Level to Lvl 3 or 4. Do this, and he will appear in these HARD stages:

STAGE5 of AREA13,
STAGE6 of AREA17,

If you go through the Normal Stages to Hard Stages route, as mapped out before you, Destoroyah might "possibly" appear within these areas of the game: Depending on which route you go with.

STAGE8 of AREA21,
STAGE8 of AREA22
--------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOLLANTE: To engage this boss battle, well, you can engage this boss battle very easily.

Conditions: If you go through the Normal Stages to Hard Stages as mapped out before you, you can engage Biollante in AREA 17 of STAGE6:

Will Appear In:
STAGE6 of AREA17

Remember, you have to go through Normal Stages for a bit of your run in the beginning before you get to the crossing of choosing whatever route for STAGE6.
---------------------------------------------------------------

JET JAGUAR: To engage this boss battle, you will need to follow these specific conditions.

Conditions: Destruction Ratio of the map must be between: 50-65%, after this, QUICKLY rush to the G-Generators and destroy them as quickly as possible. Do this for each of these 3 stages listed below, and you will trigger Jet Jaguar boss battles 3 times in 1 walkthrough. Which will earn you a trophy!

STAGE 1 of AREA01:
STAGE 4 of AREA07:
STAGE 5 of AREA12:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Story Mode is split into various branches, each branch carrying a specific level of difficulty, each branch being a stage with certain objectives. The main constant objective is absorbing G-Energy to reach your full power. There is also a percentage of how much the story has been completed, this is estimated depending on how much you have played through the branches and their stages. Of course, you can freely mix up stages and their difficulty depending on which route you want to go by.

However, if you want to reach the true ending of the game, playing on HARD assures that you will reach its end and Final Stages. Why? Well, the difficulty of each branch allows you to grow at certain rates. HARD allows you to grow much larger, and a bit faster(depending if you destroyed everything) because the objectives and battles are more demanding and difficult. The lower the difficulty, the less growth you will naturally attain throughout the stages.

To Grow Gojira to 100 Meters:
-Destroy All Military Forces, every single enemy dot!
-Destroy G-Force Artillery Weapons
-Destroy Super X, Super X2, Super X3, and Gotengo
-Destroy G-Generators for G-Energy

Side tip: Trigger Disaster Level, and destroy reinforcement for extra Growth meters.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: After playing our copies of the game numerous times, our experiences have determined this officially.

FINAL STAGE: The Final Stage for the game is a slightly difficult end to unlock throughout the story mode. Since the story mode in general branches off to into several different stages, it takes a while to finally reach the last battle. This can take much longer when certain conditions are not met either. However with the proper guidance, it can be done!

To reach the final stage, you must do this:
1. Play Through the HARD Difficulty Stages Only
2. Grow Gojira to 100 Meters or over 100 Meters. (Destroy All Military forces, Destroy All Cities/Facilities, and Defeat Super X's, and Gotengo)
3. Destroy all or most Stages with a 100% Destruction Ratio
4. Max out the Disaster Level to LEVEL 5 (Once the Final Boss Stage is triggered, you need to Max-KO the Disaster Level to bring out GODZILLA)

TRUE ENDING: Should you not complete the Story mode on HARD, or with Gojira at a 100 Meters. Than the story will settle you with a sub-ending, leaving it off as an enticing cliffhanger that hints towards a huge catastrophic end should Gojira ever reach his full potential.

The real ending will be revealed once the player has reached the Final Stage within the story, and defeated GODZILLA. Due to not wanting to spoil future newcomers who have yet to play the game, all we can say is that it's pretty satisfying!
