Fun but difficult

I decided to get this game on GoG because it was one of those games that I remember reading about back in 2000, but never got to play. I've been revisiting old games a lot, usualy to find that memories are best left as memories :-) After playing Giants: Citizen Kabuto half an hour I was pretty sure that this was a bad purchase. The controls are too old school, and your keyboard hand is way overloaded while you only use two buttons on the mouse. The weapons were flimsy and the graphics were kind boring... like the game has a way too low polygon count, even for its time. Due to the lousy save game system I lost my first 2 hours of gameplay. (Note: Do NOT click Start new game... accidently or for fun.. because it will wipe all the save games of the profile.) BUT, I decided to give it another go, and this time I got alot futher into the game. I noticed that the graphics were probably kind of low because the worlds were huge and there was a lot going on. Lots of enemies, destructable buildings etc. The game started to amaze me. You quickly get a lot of new weapons and gear to play with, and the game will enable you to make some rather interesting tactical decisions. Due to not having any real save system (only restart from the beginning of every level) the game is too difficult compared to todays standards. You often end up playing the same level a lot, only to figure out how to avoid certain areas, sneak slowly and snipe everything , and to "expoit" the generous shops that allow you to get all the ammo and health you need. This missing save system is somehow also the strength of the game. Because it forces you to attempt to "solve" each level in different ways. The humor in the game great. It seems a bit misplaced that though both the aliens and the player characters speak cockney english, but it works anyway. The story is like stories are in a computer game.. a little boring.. and filled with misc. reasons why you must do this and that. Definitely worth checking out.

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.
