Giants: Citizen Kabuto

The "Invader Zim" of video games. Criminally under underrated game that does it's own thing and does it superb. Highly recommended for some light, fun gaming.

Loved the game, hated the difficult level. Seriously, who beat this game at first try? I’ve tried to do it and failed miserably… But I didn’t cry, I laugh all the time! Cutscenes are funny, smart (if you remember “the father” you catch my drift), and wicked. Armed and Dangerous anyone? There similar in many ways. Plot is nothing at the time the games was released. We don’t save the world (not at the beginning at least), only little people, hot babe, and bottle of beer. The gampley it’s tpp shooter for the first part, then tpp shooter + rts, following tpp slash and run, and finally, tpp smash all that isn’t you. Graphics is very well done, music too. If you want to spend some time laughing yourself off and cursing yourself too, give it a try.

First your a jet packing, gun wielding mecc man. Then a magic casting, bow wielding, super jumping reaper lady. Then to top it all off, big ol eat everything I see because I can giant creature man. Tie it all together with laugh out loud humour, and explosions, and you've got a game that is well WELL worth your money and general looking into. Definitely recommended.

Smart and witty, colourful but with a quite grim premise, this game rocked my boat when it originally came out. Back then, it made me upgrade to a costly GeForce 2 without regretting a single penny given away. Immense levels, A-class humour, memorable characters and a lot to do and to see. It simply rocks!

The mix of many genres and types of gameplay is great but it really feels unfinished. There should be more variety within the particular genre, because it becomes repetitive. Mostly you don't notice it because of the fast pace and because of the gameplay type changes, but sometimes it really hurts the game. The jetski races in Delphi's segment are bad and then the whole last act, where you play as titular Kabuto feels like developers ran out of money and/or ideas bacause not only it's the simpliest and most repetitive segment but unlike the previous acts, it lacks any story developement and those great hilarious cutscenes. What a pity. The RTS missions are the most complex but unfortunately they're very simple too, there is no enemy AI and mission objectives and gameplay are always the same. And there is not many of them. Because of this, Giants are a perfect game for kids or for adults, who just want to play something simple and relaxing for a while but personaly I would prefer something more elaborate.
