  • Summary: A frenzied action game in which players battle each other with one of three distinct races: The Meccs, the Sea Reapers, or the giant named Kabuto. These three species are highly incompatible with one another, and are all battling for supremacy over the islands on which they inhabit. [Interplay]

    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.

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

    Possibly the biggest strike against Giants, though, is that much of the gameplay is, well, kind of boring.

    Just about perfect. The humor and quirkiness remind me of Shiny, when they were making good games (before they got the Matrix license). Multiplayer is really cool, though the races are highly unbalanced. I remember Giants came out relatively close to American McGee's Alice, another perfect 10. 2000 was a very good year. Unfortunately, it looks like Planet Moon has gone strictly to consoles for now, McGee has spent the past 5 years drinking/twiddling his thumbs rather than making another stellar game...but at least we did get Psychonauts this year. It was so good it almost made up for the long drought of highly creative games of this sort.… Expand

    I just got this game, it's 2008, and I love it. My PC is WAY past this game, but I still play it. I had the demo when I was a kid and always wanted to get it, and now I've got it I can say that this is one of the most underappreciated and overlooked games of all time, relative to the genius it brought to the gaming table. Please give us more great and imaginative games, and please give us Giants 2 (unlikely, but oh well)!… Expand
