why, it's a good frustrating game!

by t13monkeys t13monkeys is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 07 '01
Pros: great graphics, three weird races to control, funny plot
Cons: frustrating, controls a bit wacky, slightly buggy.
This weird wacky game is probably the strangest thing you'll see this entire year. You start by controlling MECCs, some sort of British-speaking big-eyed, round-headed aliens in space suits. Then you'll move on to Sea Reapers, much of the controversy...

Frustrating, Repetitive, Vastly Disappointing, What The Heck Happened Here?!

by churst , Feb 01 '01
Pros: Unbeatable graphics, quirky humor, good blend of strategy elements and arcade action.
Cons: Poor framerates, best parts are at the beginning, crash bugs, multiplayer problems, no in-game save.
A lot of comparisons are being made between Giants:Citizen Kabuto, and Sacrifice, two Interplay releases (although Sacrifice was developed by Shiny Entertainment, and Giants was developed by Planet Moon Studios) that were released almost at the same...

Great Start... but What Happened?!

by RBradford , Oct 02 '01
Pros: Awesome Graphics! Starts out GREAT,
Cons: Eventually gets repetitive and boring. HUGE system requirements to run properly.
Having been suckered in by many "Action" games in the past, I am very cautious to hand over my hard earned cash for another "Revolutionary First/Third Person Shooter." After reading many reviews and doing as much research as I could, I decided to pick up...

Giants : Citizen Kabuto - Taking First Person to a new level

by daedric , Sep 06 '00
Pros: - beautiful visuals - astounding gameplay -very original
Cons: - took over three years of development and waiting for us gamers
The visuals in Giants : Citizen Kabuto have a hypnotic effect on you. There’s something about the innately beautiful about the island : a beauty that transcends taste and style, and simply is stunning. Forget gameplay for a moment here: this game is...

Giants: the Benchmark, no, actually the, Stool-mark.

by OmegAlien , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Original, humor packed, half nude reaper girls
Cons: More bugs than my roach motel (which also has a lizard in it)
I had been following the developments of Giants for close to 6 months before its release, every new screen shot that came in made me see a game that would have hundreds of features, a plethora of baddies, and the option to be a 6 story giant that would...

A Giant in the gaming industry is within us.

by amiquilena , Jul 07 '01
Pros: Stunning Graphics, Funny Storyline that keeps you entertained, difficulty, music, rich strategy.
Cons: In-Mission Saving does not exist, need a hell of a system to play.
Note: Old review I did using the account ajmiquilena which was closed per my request, so I worked with the team of Epinion and they gave me this weekend to recover my material. Here it is again. Thanks Epinion Staff for the amazing help....

Best one player game... EVER

by timothyt , Dec 22 '00
Pros: Graphics, sound, gameplay and graphics (oh and the graphics are great too!)
Cons: Multiplayer is broken
I bought Giants primarily as a showcase for my new GeForce GTS card (Creative Labs Annihilator 2) because it’s one of the few games that really utilizes all of the new graphics features (Transform & Lighting Engine, bump mapping, stencil shadowing,...

Giants is great!

by shadowhunter , Feb 18 '01
Pros: Excellent Graphics, Enthralling Story Line with excellent FMV's, Excellent Gameplay. Intense!
Cons: Base building can be a little ho-hummish but this is minimal.
Finally, a new and fresh idea for the action genre. The view is third person (You can go First Person view but I think you see more in third person) and the action can really heat up in this games. If you are slow on the mouse and keyboard you may not...

Giant Graphics

by MjrVodka , Apr 05 '01
Pros: beautiful graphics, hilarious, 3 races to play, nude-reaper
Cons: crashes on lower end computers, pretty damn hard, unbalanced multiplayer
First off delete arpfix.___ to get the nudity back in the game. Ok, now you're ready to play Giants.

The Story
A bunch of Meccs are on their way to vacation when on of their planes gets shot down. As one of the Meccs your job is...

TIMMMMY!!!!

by infinite313 , Jan 04 '01
Pros: Amazing Graphics & Sound, Excellent Map Design & Character Modeling
Cons: random crash bug, AI isn't too bright
I remember back to when I saw the first screenshot of Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I was simply stunned and I knew it was a game I was going to have to buy. So, finally it gets released and I buy it the day it comes out without waiting to check any online...

So, when's the REAL game going to ship?

by taoshaman , Feb 14 '01
Pros: Beautiful graphics. Somewhat decent attempt at humor.
Cons: Buggy. Slow framerates. No in-game save. Becomes boring far too soon.
I haven't finished this game, so perhaps it's presumptive of me to write a review. However, I do have some initial impressions that I don't see changing much as I progress through the game.

1. Pretty, pretty things. This game sure...

by aboot9248 , Jul 01 '03
Pros: First and Third person, RTS, RPG, and shooter, variety of everything, beautiful graphics, plus more
Cons: Minor glitches with multiplayer, takes a long time to load
Giants is one of the coolest games ever. You can play in first or third person. This is a first ...

The Way Home (with someone else wife attached to your back) [revised]

by dayvbrown , Feb 02 '01
Pros: Incredible graphics, hilarious cutscenes, and its just plain fun.
Cons: You will need a VERY beefy machine to get the most out of this one.
After a long and agonising wait Giants has finally arrived. Thank god the waiting hasn't been in vain, Planet Moon studios have done an excellent job in bringing this game to life. First: The story. (sort of)

On an island floating through...

Who doesn't like being a giant ?

by BeerMike , Mar 14 '01
Pros: Great graphics, funny story line, and pretty good music
Cons: Some major bugs, but they can be fixed with a patch
I bought this game because I thought it would be something different, something new and weird, which is pretty much what this game is. Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a pseudo RTS with alot of action mixed in. Set on a strange planet, you control one of three...

A Fun Beautiful Game

by edlanning , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Beautiful Landscapes and Graphics, Hilarious Cut Scenes, Unique races and weapons, Hours of enjoyment
Cons: A little buggy, Needs some high end hardware, No in mission Save,
I was first introduced to this game while visiting a friend and he let me play it for a while on his system. As soon as I returned home I went directly to the local Best Buy and bought it. I figure I could have saved a few bucks using ebay or some...
