A game would most likely end up being really shitty.
If they were to make a game, I'd suggest they make it first person and take note of the King Kong game where there was no Heads-Up Display.
It would be hard to find interesting things to do with no weaponry (unless you played as a marine trying to fend off the monster, but I don't think that would be too original, and the whole game would be shooting without doing any damage to Clover lol)
Maybe it's you and a few npc friends, and you're left to run through New York trying to escape. There could be multiple ways to escape, and multiple endings depending on how many of your party get out alive. Several story paths can lead to great replayability. The challenge of getting everyone out alive and getting a special ending as a reward that reveals something new about the monster would be awesome.
The game may need to be time-trial-esque (similar to Dead Rising) where you only have one game night to escape the city before the inevitable Hammerdown protocol is in effect (in which you receive the bad ending as you look towards the sky and bombs rain down on the monster and the surrounding area, aka you)
Or, rather than one long time-trial, several short trials transpire in the non-linear spots until you reach a key destination where a scripted event happens, giving way to a more plot-heavy game.

Alright, I'm done rambling about this. I wasn't aware I typed this much until I finished.

What if all you did was run around on Clovers body and kill the parasites that live on him? After your kill them all, he is so grateful he becomes the worlds defender of all other monster. Eh?

i would almost like to see the game (i know you will all boo me) be a boring, info based game. hahahaha.

like myst or something. or something very similar to the "lost" game that just came out. pretty game, not a lot of action, but eyeballs deep in the mythology of everything.

so yeah... running around the city as another group of people trying to escape. finding things out along the way. coming across the military, peeking around and finding out little things here and there. lots of little unlockable documentation things.

maybe a part mid-game where you switch to an actual army officer. find out some more awesome stuff. have a good action sequence where you do get to try and fight the monster. epic fail, the army guy you were controlling dies.

BAM, snap back to your group. i love the idea of different paths and different endings based on what you do and who survives. now you're trying to work your way out of the city. an intense parasite-involved segment. having to haul ass, and trial-and-erroring different alleyways and whatnot, becos all hell is breaking loose. let it go from there. a moral system, like some games have, where decisions really affect what happens. like, one of your companions is bitten. leave her ass behind, or take her with you to try and find help? she'll die either way, but it could result in one or more of your party leaving your ass behind.

oh, and everyone does have to die in the end, no matter what "successful" routes and decisions you have made along the way.

i'd be willing to sacrifice action-packed, graphically intense 3-hour story bullshit for what would esentially be a boring game to others, but a friggin goldmine of cool shit for us.
