Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Interplay?s innovative shooter/strategy epic comes to the PS2.

A quirky combination of Monty Python and Starship Troopers, the PC version of Giants: Citizen Kabuto garnered critical acclaim for being challenging, imaginative, and hilarious. In the PS2 version, the game?s depraved humor is intact, and the gameplay is still a refreshing variety of action and strategy, though the RTS aspects of the base-building missions have been simplified.

Digital Mayhem has managed to pack a lot of commands on the PS2 controller, and they?re intuitive and well mapped out. The witty, taboo-bending script is perfectly complemented by superb voice acting. The alien environments are vast and lush, although the colors are washed out, the models are chunkier, and many texture details have been lost in the PS2 translation.

Unable to handle the game?s explosive battles, the frame rate often takes a beating, and a couple of sequences degenerate into slide shows. Nevertheless, the humor and action alone make Giants worth checking out if you?ve never played the PC version.
