GameZone
The huge amount of variety, great storyline, and intuitive gameplay makes this game one that fans of just about every genre should check out.

Electric Playground
An excellent action game. Or is it strategy? Or perhaps action-strategy? Whatever it is, it is damn fun.

GamePen
Whatever the designers' intentions, the music is well done and a perfect companion when you catch one of those vistas I told you about.

Game Informer
Features some of the greatest cutscenes in video game history, giving Conker a run for its money as the funniest game ever. [Dec 2001, p.88]
84
GameSpy
Utterly clever, entertaining, and action-packed, Giants is an absorbing romp through the lives of well-rounded comedic entities on a weird alien land.
83
GameSpot
One of the PS2's most likable, most offbeat shooters.
80
GamePro
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.
80
Next Generation Magazine
Delighting and mystifying in equal parts. [Jan 2002, p.81]
80
IGN
If you want a good action game for the PS2, Giants won't let you down. If you want a rare, genuine, and hilarious game to suck up about 20 hours of your time, this game has your name all over it.
80
Hot Games
What separates Giants from other games is that there are so many things to do - but you have to have some backbone to stick with it.

GamerWeb Sony
What could have been in the top ten games of the year has been brought down by dropping frame rates, repetitive gameplay, and agonizing load times.

PSX Nation
We need more humor in our gaming diet, and "Citizen Kabuto" delivers that sandwiched between a tasty dose of shooting excitement and the condiments of an acceptable (but not perfect) PC to PS2 port.
70
Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
Laugh-out-loud, knee-slapping, "I can't believe that just happened" humor. [Dec 2001, p.164]
60
Yahoo! Games
A great concept, brutally funny and accompanied by some beautiful sweeping melodies, but it suffers from some basic technical flaws and dips of interest in gameplay.
58
Game Revolution
The PC version featured some jaw-dropping graphics, but the PS2 version will put your jaw back on. It doesn't look bad, per se, but it hardly holds a candle to the PC.
