Hands-On: Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Giants was a quirky smash hit on the PC, but how well will it translate to the PS2? GamePro takes a gander.

With its hilarious characters and unique, widely varied gameplay?including third- and first-person shooting, base building, jetskiing, and playing as a giant monster?Giants was one of the best PC games of last year. But can it translate to the PS2? A hands-on demo looked promising, with almost everything intact from the original. The texture detail was lowered a bit, and the character models seemed blockier, but overall the PS2 version recreated the same sweeping vistas of the PC game. The controls worked well for a third-person shooter, and, best of all, there will now be in-game saving.
