    Rock out! After playing the fantastic Single Player missions, the MP-mode totally rocks the world! I'm a counter-strike player of above medium rank so I've played my share of stunning Multi-player... THE GIANT ROXX!

    This game is probably the most addictive shooter to be created since Half-Life: Counter-strike. The sounds are great, the graphics are amazing, and the gaming companies out there that say it's boring, well maybe you would like the barbie games a little better, since... obviously you have no taste in games. The awesome acting makes the game even better, I haven't seen one bug yet, so I don't know where you guys are seen em. … Expand

    I know it's a late vote but that sums it up. Here I am in 2007 and still playing this fantastic game, I never understood why it got such low reviews. I keep coming back to this game and everytime it makes me howl with laughter! Comedy Action and Fun... I want Giants 2! The voyage home.

    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

    A very unique and fun game. This is one of the best games I've every played. Good graphics and rip roaring dialogue will keep you chuckling through the game. During the game you will play as all three races, and each are wildly different and entertaining. I enjoyed the base buliding levels, and enjoyed defending my little city. But nothing beats walking around as Kabuto, and watching him grow bigger and bigger. Its loads of fun to eat any critter that moves, but extra juicy fun to skewer them on your horns for a convenient snack. Destruction has never been so much fun.… Expand

    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 played this when it first came out and it barely ran on my machine. It looked gorgeous with the introductory pan over the island with the sun in the background and all the great sun flares. Then I played the game and it was absolutely sensational. It was a quirky, beautiful, unbelievably fun experience with great challenges and a game where an RTS and FPS combination was pulled off perfectly. I really don't understand why there was never a second one made.… Expand

    A technically devastating graphics engine, the funniest script in computer games history, and a soupcon of strategy, together with imaginative and variety packed action.

    It sucks you into its weird world and doesn't let you go.

    It is innovative, it is humorous, it is intense, and most of all, it's a heck of a lot of fun.
