Read Full Detailed Report - Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a third person shooter from Planet Moon and Interplay. Gameplay is unusually varied, and spans three campaigns with three characters - the heavily armed, high-tech meccaryn Baz and his squadmates, the sword-wielding, spellcasting sea reaper Delphi, and the enormous, village-trampling Kabuto himself.

Cool screens, hermit. :D I remember this game, too. Lots of fun, some bawdy humour and great graphics.

I think the only flaw was the save game issue - they weren't placed to well if I recall. Wasn't this also developed for the Mac platform as well? If so, that might explain why - the developers knew that at least some people out there were playing the game on their cinema displays.

I don't know about that. Were the Cinema displays even out in the year 2000? The LCD screens that I was familiar with back then were pretty crappy.

Oh yea, they were already going strong with the 22" Cinema Display by that time.

I might have to find the Mac version of this (since that's the only machine I have left). At least I know the current PowerBook will run it smooth.

Yea, I'm trying to rack my brains to remember why I didn't end up finishing this game. I think it had something to do with the save game system, maybe it wasn't flexible enough for me.

You know when you purchase a game, play it some of the way through and then stop for a definite reason, but then a looong time goes by, you see the game again, and you're like, "Now why did I stop playing that one.." hehe :)

because of this thread, I have been going through this one all over again 6 years after I bought it. This game has held up amazingly well and still looks great. The WS support is absolutely perfect.

I, too, don't remember why I didn't finish this game.

It looked super gooder though.

This if one of the truly memorable great games of the late 20th century! If you liked it, don't forget to also play "Armed and Dangerous", which is maybe not quite as good, but still very very good.
