Summary: Some prerelease impression for all us mac users
Review: Here's a rundown: The game takes place on a little chunk of living planet floating through space. It's native population includes Smarties (big-headed people with Scottish accents) the Sea Reapers (baddies) and among other beasts Kabuto (a giant monster created by the Sea Reapers.) With the arrivial of the Meccs (a high tech race of soldiers who just want to fix their ship and get to some party planet) who work with the Smarties, things start to heat up. The three races collide in what turns out to be a humerous story where you get to play three characters. It does contain some gross humor, language and violence) This game was made by the people who brought us Eathworn Jim! What do you expect but something twistedly funny? Anyway, the game's three playable characters are: Delphi, a scantily clad young Sea Reaper girl, the uproariously funny Meccs (did I mention they have jetpacks?) and of course the draw of the game: Kabuto. You can eat people, smash things and lay little eggs and raise baby Kabutos (Kabuti? Kabutoes?) to do your nefarious bidding. People's only complaint was some buggy PC performance not covered by patches and that the storyline gets repetative. A PS2 port is also in the works. But I don't know when that's going to come out. And there are some games that should be experienced in their original keyboard and mouse format. Needless to say this game looks great and something that the quality starved mac gaming market needs. Playing both the Mecc and Sea Reaver demos on a high end PC I noticed that you'll need a good graphics card and fast processor for this visually astounding game, so it may be tough for those of us with iMac DV 400s. But hang in there because Giants is gonna come stomping onto the mac.

Summary: Giants Citizen Kabuto is amazingly hilarious!!
Review: I bought this game with the impression that it was an action/shooter game. Which it is but it is also so much more, this game is hilarious. Few game I know of can pull off comedy and remain a solid game, this does it and does it wonderfully. Not only is game play addictive but you want to beat the game so you can see what the characters do and say next. Granted this game isn't really for children because some of the comedy is for more mature audience and the younger crowd may not get some of the jokes. The game play is fantastic, you can chose if you want to see it in first person view (perfect for the first person shooter fans) or if you want to see it from behind your character (perfect for the RPG fans). Also the game combines RPG, Shooters & Simulation, and they do it with a perfect mix. This is a classic game, it would be hard to make it better.

Summary: Best Game for the Mac...EVER!!!
Review: I just bought this game and my breath has simply been taken away! The graphics, story, and gameplay all work together to make a playing experience unlike any other. No other game on the Mac comes close, and believe me, I have them all. The game is really addictive and hilariously funny as well! Anyone who doesn't have it is really missing out. Anyway...back to the game ;)

Summary: Totally Unique
Review: I loved this game! It was thoroughly engaging from beginning to end. It has just the right combination of strategy, 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 specifically 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.

Review: 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 put the $250 in RAM and software upgrades towards a new Playstation/Xbox.Somebody is getting a kickback for that I'm sure.

Summary: Too much nudity and crude language
Review: This game has great, action-filled play. However, 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.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This game is fantastic. Fun, funny, and challenging. Not to easy that you finish it in one sitting. I've been playing for almost a month and it still has me interested. The only reason it is not 5 stars is that you cannot save save the game in the middle of missions. Some of the missions take an hour or more of playing and if you stop mid-way you have to start all over again the next time you play.
As for nudity, my version has the female characters in a bikini. I read that they changed the graphics to get rid of the nudity.
