Giants!!!

This game is hilarious. It is filled to the brim with over the top British humor (think Monty Python). From what I remember the game play itself is nothing overly fantastic, but it is without a doubt fun. I definitely recommend this game if you enjoy British style humor.

3 on 5... but why:

I really loved this game when I played it, but the GoG version was a bit disapointing: it's the english version which I though was better than the french one, but that's not the case, the french version was awesome ! the english one is... good and the other thing that disapointed me: it's the censured version :D.

A bit disappointed

[Note:] Played the game for the most part with the latest version of the Giants World Domination patch. Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a game that was stuck the back of my mind for a very long time. I saw a lot of hype about it as a little kid in local gaming magazines when it was released. I hadn't actually read the reviews though, because the monster was spooky and the blue lady made me feel weird (don't think they censored anything, at least in the promotional posters). I picked up GCK after I already played through Shiny games like MDK and Sacrifice. Sacrifice is one of my favorite RTSes of all time, so I thought that perhaps GCK would be like it, just with less focus on units and more action, maybe more variation. There were some similarities to a small extent, but overall, I did not find the gameplay as gripping and most importantly, the story was pretty meh. I appreciate the humor, but it wasn't enough to keep me interested enough to not skip some cutscenes. Not that I did it out of the lack of time, I did it mostly because my game had a tendency to crash in between some cutscenes, so after a harder level, I just had to skip to make sure I wouldn't lose my progress. It seemed like there was maybe a 50/50% chance that the game would save and I would be able to just start the next level after the crash, but once I had to redo a level, I didn't want to test my luck further. I loved the jetpack in the Mecc section on the game, I liked the Delphi sections, but the eponymous Citizen Kabuto was the biggest letdown of the game.. Didn't really feel innovative compared to the previous sections, and didn't feel imposing or powerful enough whether playing as Kabuto or against Kabuto. The final boss fight was a joke and the ending was rather abrupt. Also, the base building / RTS part of the game was not exicting, definitely liked the Sacrifice approach more. Sacrifice just did the whole 3rd person strategy better, lot more fluid, easier to control, etc. So yeah, 3.6.
