I picked up Gozilla Generations: Maximum Impact for the Dreamcast.

I always wanted the original Godzilla Generations, just because it was all over magazines back in the day when the Dreamcast was first revealed and was being promoted by Sega up until its launch. It was a launch game in Japan, but was never released in the West. Before its release, I remember a lot of the press saying how it was an impressive showcase of the console's power, because of the large Godzilla models and city environments. After its release though it got absolutely slaughtered in reviews and the graphics were also heavily criticised.

The sequel I picked up came out a year later and received better reviews. They completely changed the style of game and it now plays more like an on-rails arcade shooter.

I have Godzilla Generations and played through it a few years ago as 'Heisei' ('90s-ish) Godzilla. It was pretty rough. I enjoyed the stage where I got to stomp around Minato Mirai in Yokohama because I have some memories of visiting there when I lived in Tokyo. It's a really nice waterfront area. Other than that, pretty forgettable game. I didn't realize Maximum Impact was basically on rails. I don't actually have that one.
