Anyone monster can have several Power Surges. When the Surge wears off, the player can set off a Nuclear Pulse-like shockwave to deactivate it.
You can either defeat the monster and gain that power for yourself, or you can free the monster by destroying the crystals. During the Story Mode of the game, you encounter monsters that have been given strange powers by the crystals. You earn these from the single-player mode, and can't use them in multiplayer until you have unlocked them from the single-player mode. Unleashed has also replaced the Rage Attacks of the previous games with "Power Surges " super-powerful attacks and abilities that can only be used once per battle. As "punishment" for resorting to Critical Mass, one cell of the monster's HP is depleted when the monster exits Critical Mass unless the cell is the last one. They deal significantly more damage at the cost of their defense. While in Critical Mass, the monsters' bodies increase in size and become covered in glowing red lines, greatly resembling Godzilla's burning form from Godzilla vs. When the Critical Meter is filled, the monster enters Critical Mass. Monsters enter Critical Mass by destroying the crystals scattered around the stages and filling up the "Critical Meter." If the monster destroys a large crystal, it enters an "excited state," during which all damage dealt and received will increase the Critical Meter. Contrary to popular belief, It doesn't have alternate endings yet in which an Alien or Mutant turns face and saves the Earth(essentially false rumors).Ī new feature introduced for the Wii version of Unleashed is "Critical Mass," the Unleashed version of Rage Mode from Godzilla: Save the Earth. If the Earth Defenders, GDF, or Alien acquires all the power surges, Miku said that the monster became corrupted and it was the only hope. If the GDF or Earth Defenders win, the player's monster is thanked for their bravery as the world returns to normal. If SpaceGodzilla wins, the Mutant ending commences, except that SpaceGodzilla is subsequently seen letting out a victory roar. If one wins as a mutant, the crystals spread at a cancerous rate, proliferating out of control. There are four (five as alternate) endings based on the factions if one wins as an alien, Vorticia cackles maniacally in victory. It is revealed in the finale that the source of the crystals is from SpaceGodzilla trying to escape the alternate dimension he was imprisoned in at the end of Save the Earth. The Vortaak, returning from the previous games, choose to invade and use the crystals to seize Earth, but their mothership is knocked into San Francisco bay. Choices within the story affect later events, including the relationships between Earth factions and the monster ones. Factions form among the members of Earth as well as the monsters attacking them, totaling four monster factions. Simultaneously, the monsters of Earth begin to attack cities across the globe as a result of crystals growing on the ground. The storyline of Unleashed, taking place twenty years after Godzilla: Save the Earth, begins with a meteor shower raining down on Earth, causing climate shifts and earthquakes. Interactive environments let you wreck havoc and destruction in some of the world's most famous cites such as New York City, London, Sydney, San Francisco and Osaka."
