Yes this game is a few years old, but it still has a charm that made it hold my interest even today in a world where technical excellence is usually the standard. It's not the fast paced gameplay, which it doesn't really have, but the visual style, the humor, and the plain zaniness of the game that kept me playing. Planet Moon Studios who made this game also recently came out with Armed and Dangerous, another third person shooter that has much of the same humor and gameplay that I found equally fun to play on the PC. The graphics of the game are average at best, the cutscenes being the worst. The in game scenery is really quite amazing though, and fun too look at as you run around. Although the cutscene animation isn't very good, what happens in the videos is extremely funny and usually had me laughing out loud. Overall visually the game is fun to look at, even if the graphics aren't as great as some games that are out there. The sound is average, with some decent voice acting to help the story line along. The in game sound effects are adequate. The voice script is wonderful though and will make you keep playing just to hear what is going to happen next. The gameplay can only be described as different. You play the game as three different characters. First you are the alien Meccs who have arrived and decided to help the native Smarties against the Sea Reapers, these guys are all about guns. After finishing these missions you will play as the renegade Sea Reaper Princess Delphi, this give you a whole new set of moves, weapons, and even magic to play with for the next part of the game. After finishing her missions you get to transform into Kabuto the monster, where you stomp around smashing and eating everthing in sight. This was too much fun. The game is played through missions where you have to either destroy something, finish a race, or find something to aid in your next mission. Overall this is a wonderful game to play, I wouldn't suggest buying it, but definitely rent it if you get the chance, the wonderful wackyness of the game should keep you entertained for the duration of the reasonably lengthy game.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is an entertaining title where you take on the role of 3 different characters (well technically 2, but it's more like 3). You start off as Baz who comes from a race of partying soldiers called ... Read Full Review
