    Are there any good games where you have to survive through a natural disaster scenario like an earthquake or a flood? I don't mean anything like a zombie apocalypse (Day Z), an epidemic (the last of us), or nuclear holocaust (fallout).
    I mean something where you need to carefully navigate through a wrecked environment, gathering supplies and rescuing people along the way.

    I currently only know of these two old PS2 games that are like what I'm searching for:

    Disaster Report for PlayStation 2 - GameFAQs

    Raw Danger! for PlayStation 2 - GameFAQs

    ^I have never played these, but would like to. I did however read that the American releases have been edited to bring their ESRB ratings down. The Japanese releases had darker themes which would push them to an M rating (a female survivor gets raped, lots of swearing).

    Thanks.

    I think it'd be cool if they made a Godzilla game, but you played as a regular civilian trying to avoid falling buildings and trying not to get run over by mazer tanks and stuff as the monsters fought in the background.

    Yeah, that's a really cheesy game but charming in its own right.

    Importing is always an option. And there are ways to get the Wii to run games region free, with no console modding whatsoever.

    There was an Xbox 360 Title, I'm trying to think of the name of it... New York City gets hit by a freak earthquake... then there's dust storms from all the dust off the buildings.... It was in developmental hell for a while.... It came out the same week as Alan Wake's American Nightmare for a summer Promo.... what the hell was it?

    I Am Alive! That's it!
