 A unique action/strategy game for the PS2. Mar 14, 2002
By Richard-Hobbes
Giants Citizen Kabuto is a port of the award winning PC game. While the graphics suffered (considerably) during the porting, thankfully the gameplay did not. What makes Giants so enjoyable is that its humor is very British and extremely funny. It is almost impossible not to laugh while playing. Additionally, although a third-person shooter, Giants incorporates intriguing characters and many varied styles of gameplay that require a great deal of strategizing and puzzle solving. Players must use the enormous landscapes, creature behaviors, and resources to solve each task given.While the incredible colors and textures in the PC version have been scaled back, Giants on the PS2 offers several features unique to itself. Firstly (and thankfully), the game now includes an in-game save feature. You can save anywhere at any time. Oddly this was omitted from the PC version and causes much frustration to PC players. Secondly, the PS2 version contains worlds that are much more alive. Huge Pterodactyls fly overhead, water flows in waves, and doves and other small animals inhabit the Islands. None of this is in the PC version. Thirdly, the frame rate is pretty solid. In the PC version, unless you have a very powerful computer, the frame rate varies quite a bit. Finally, commands are superbly mapped to the PS2 controller making the game easy to play. In the end, I actually enjoy playing Giants on the PS2 more than on the PC. Although not the best looking game on the PS2, I highly recommend Giants Citizen Kabuto. It is one of my favorite games on the system because it is incredibly funny and very rewarding to play.

 Giants is a good game Jul 11, 2002
I rented this game and wasn't sure about it at first, but let me tell you this game is a great game. I played it almost non stop scince i rented it. I think this is a game that you might consider renting not buying because it is about medium in length so you can easily beat it in like 3 days without playing all day.

This is one of the best PS2 games I have ever played! The graphics, sound, and gameplay are all great! 'Giants: Citizen Kabuto' is a very addictive game which I highly recommend you buy.

Ted's Review Jan 12, 2002
Giants is one of the best strategy games i have played for PS2. The beginning is a bit slow, but once you get to mission 5 or 6 it turns very fun. In addition to the 3 different races you can be there are many intresting weapons and powerups. The only problem with this game I have foung is that the graphics are not as good as they could be. Still I give it 5 stars. All and all it is a great game!!

This game is Fantastic! Jul 07, 2007
By Josh Johnson
The game play is addictive and the breathtaking landscapes will blow you away! The humor is a little bit dry but also very refreshing. There is nothing more satisfying then destroying and gobbling up everything in your path when playing as the giant! If you are looking for an amazing game that you will not be able to put down until you are finished, look no further!
