Monster of Monsters is probably my favorite...I find it has the most replayability, is the most addictive, and features the catchiest music.
Godzilla 2 is actually kinda fun these days...I hated it as a kid, thinking it would be an actual sequel to Monster of Monsters and finding it a strategy game sucked the life out of me.
I know of two black-and-white old-school Game Boy games. One is a puzzle game which I never really played because it didn't seem very fun and the other is a side-scroller where you fight a bunch of classic rogues, this second one is a lot of fun and is actually fairly challenging.
Super Godzilla is okay...I never had an SNES so I kinda built it up in my mind because I saw that cartridge EVERYWHERE and never got to play it...then one day I finally did and...meh. It's not totally terrible.
Then for a long time I didn't play any Godzilla games...they all came out on systems I didn't have. I never even played DAMM until years later when I finally got a 360.
Save the Earth was my next Godzilla game and while I found it fun, I found the story REALLY lacking TREMENDOUSLY even for a game of its type. I was expecting it to at least be on-par with War of the Monsters...and it's not.
Ultimately DAMM and Save the Earth, while fun, were underwhelming enough that I never sought out Unleashed.
The only other Godzilla games I've played are the GINO game on gameboy color, and Doublesmash on DS. Both of which are decent.
All of this circles back to my take that Monster of Monsters is the best one...most replay value, best music, fun boss and mini-boss battles, something of a story being told (it's basically on-par with the Pipeworks games, which is pathetic for the Pipeworks games). The only thing about Monster of Monsters that ever irritated me was that if you clear a stage with either Mothra or Godzilla and then die while trying to clear it with the remaining monster, you get a game over instead of moving on to the next world with just one of the monsters.
And I too always thought a Final Wars video game would be stupendously fun. You could switch back and forth between playing as a human character (Osaki most likely) and Godzilla.
