Downtown Tokyo, Present Day
| Author: | John Kean | | Genres: | Horror>Kaiju
Adaptation>Screen
Humor>Satire | | Released: | 1998 | | Review: | B-movie big monster spoof: defend Tokyo, and rescue lovely reporter, from the
ravages of a colossal chicken. Very small, but with opportunity for
irrelevant actions (like dropping live alligators onto ships from a
helicopter). Satisfyingly satirical, with an interesting double perspective
(the player controls both the hero of the movie and a member of the audience).
Title sequence contains character graphics. Has a hint menu.
Rating: ****
