Giants Citizen Kabuto
Product Description
Experience intense strategic action while battling as the Meccaryns, the Sea Reapers or Kabuto: this island isn’t huge enough for the three of them! Kabuto is too large, too brutal and too hungry to co-exist with any other living creature. Kabuto shows the other two races that he’s at the top of the food chain.Amazon.com Review
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is an odd small game. It takes place on a small island populated by small, huge-headed people who speak with Scottish accents. They are called Smarties. Out to sea the evil Sea Reapers plot to retake the island for themselves, and they’ve made a 30-foot-tall monster named Kabuto to help them with their task. To this world come the Meccarins, a trio of humanlike spacemen who wear powered armor and have jetpacks. They arrive and befriend the Smarties against the Sea Reapers, and Kabuto breaks free from Sea Reaper control. All heck breaks loose.
Giants was developed by Planet Moon Studios, an offshoot of the wacky Shiny Entertainment studio that brought us Earthworm Jim and Sacrifice. It shows. The between-mission movies are hilarious and filmed inventively (using the game’s graphics) throughout. You start by portraying the Meccs as they puzzle out the new world and help people. Next you described Delphi, a sexy sorceress Sea Reaper, and finally you get to walk in the massive footsteps of Kabuto himself. The game plays with arcade stylishness; before you’re done you’ll have flown around and fired weapons, invented spells, participated in a jet-ski race or two, and eaten just about everything that moves as the giant himself. It’s dizzying, it’s fun, and you’ll never forget you played it. (Note: not for kids–strong language, nudity, violence, and adult humor throughout). –Bob Andrews

Ironic this game will play on windows 95 which is the equivalent of Mac OS 7.5 but won’t run on anything less than OS 10 for a Mac. Welp, that’s not enough for me to upgrade to OS 10. Guess I’d rather place the $250 in RAM and software upgrades towards a new Playstation/Xbox.
Somebody is getting a kickback for that I’m sure.

This game has splendid, action-filled play. But, the mermaids, with their fully developed, unclothed, human bodies there for all to see is basically animated pornography. The crude language throughout makes the game a complete turnoff.

This game is amusing and enjoyable during the cutscenes, but cutscenes are not enough to make a game fun to play. As Meccaryns the game is honestly excellent. The combination of their jetpacks and weapons make them fun until the levels in which bases become involved, at which point your lack of ability to directly control more than one character makes it very frustrating, especially when you are need to leave the base for resources, but are being attacked from multiple unknown directions. In the other two thirds of the game, any ranged weapons that are available quickly become useless and the melee combat systems are very poorly implemented. The one thing that all of the characters that the player uses in this game have one thing in common: they go too at a snail’s pace! I found myself using every special potential that I had to get across the monotonous expanses to find the next enemy or objective, so that they weren’t available when I got there… this isn’t an RPG, the player shouldn’t have to do that much walking. In small, the developers of this game couldn’t choose on a genre, so they threw together the worst elements of several. It’s a bring shame on, a splendid game could have been made with this tale, but the developers failed to do so.

I loved this game! It was thoroughly engaging from beginning to end. It has just the right combination of approach, action, and humor. I have to laugh at the earlier reviewer knocking the nudity: the only way to get the nudity is to download a hack that particularly says what it does. Besides it is only partial nudity and was only in the ‘mermaid’ section of the game and it is tastefully done.

This game is stunning! Graphics are GREAT. It is very simple too lose track of time. Tale line is very amusing. If you dont have a 5-button mouse yet this game is a excellent reason to get one. This game only runs on MAC OS X so all you OS 9 users will have to update your system software.
