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

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

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]

Utterly clever, entertaining, and action-packed, Giants is an absorbing romp through the lives of well-rounded comedic entities on a weird alien land.

GameSpot
One of the PS2's most likable, most offbeat shooters.

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.

Delighting and mystifying in equal parts. [Jan 2002, p.81]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Laugh-out-loud, knee-slapping, "I can't believe that just happened" humor. [Dec 2001, p.164]

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.

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.
