Giants: Citizen Kabuto Critic Reviews

Alternately frantic, considered and hilarious; utterly gorgeous throughout and outstandingly innovative. Absolutely essential.

It sucks you into its weird world and doesn't let you go.

It offers more of everything you'd expect and then some -- gorgeous graphics, incredible animations, visceral sound effects, terrific cut scenes, wild weapons, unique characters (wise-cracking Brits, a diaphanously dressed magical sea nymph, and a towering giant), and deadly enemies with effective AI.

I've played some dandies in the last few months, and the competition out there is stiff, but Giants sends them all running for cover. Get it now. The highest score I've given out here at PC Gameworld.

What sets this game apart from the rest is the variety in the gameplay, which combines RTS with shooter, as well as the fact that you get to play three distinct races, each with completely different abilities.

A great game. The humour is consistent right from the start and nearly always borders on ridiculous, which is a nice parry to the action.

Even with its bugs, Giants is still one of the most creative, innovative, and entertaining games I've played in years.

This game is a riot, start to finish, and multiplayer is especially entertaining. The game's few flaws can ideally be corrected with the aforementioned patch.

A shooter/strategy hybrid full of weird British humor, unique and beautiful 3D graphics, and naked lady sea monsters.

The truly unique premise, coupled with stunning graphics and exciting gameplay, makes Giants: Citizen Kabuto one of the best action games in years.

This is a good game with a lot of depth, variation in gameplay and fantastic visuals. It's got a funny story and likeable characters.

The gameplay differences between each species make this one of the most innovative games to come out in awhile.

Vibrant, sharp, and pretty are just a few adjectives that may sum up my final thoughts on the game's sound and appearance… And it all goes perfectly well with the offbeat nature of the game -- the edgy attitude, and the genuinely funny Pythonesque dialogue.

The key thing that kept me playing and happy was the story. I really enjoyed the dialog and plot more than anything else. If there is one game you want to play for comedy Giants is it. The story doesn't have much depth and it does taper off towards the end, but while you have it, it is obscenely funny.

It is innovative, it is humorous, it is intense, and most of all, it's a heck of a lot of fun.

A technically devastating graphics engine, the funniest script in computer games history, and a soupcon of strategy, together with imaginative and variety packed action.

Fantastic and beautiful third-person action among three races, with a wonderful sense of humor.

Yeah, Giants has its flaws, but it's one of the most competent -- and clever -- action games we've laid our hands on,

Giants Citizen Kabuto has great central characters, choice camera angles, and a nice shooter perspective. But while the terrain elements are wonderful, the enemy (and enemy AI) is simplistic.

I cherish every moment I spent with Giants, and recommend it to friends with an eagerness I usually reserve for must-see movies or trips abroad.
