In Giants, players assume control of one of three different species of creature on a mysterious asteroid known simply as the Island. Your alter egos consist of a humanoid called Meccaryn, the exotic Sea Reaper and the Godzilla-like Kabuto. Each of these races has unique abilities and personality traits. The Meccaryns are boozing, pommy space soldiers who got sidetracked on their way to the Ibiza-like Planet Majorca (it's obvious where this game was created), while the Sea Reapers have long been the dominant indigenous life form on the Island. Kabuto is an entirely different kettle of fish; created by the Sea Reapers to defend the Island from invaders, Kabuto is a 900-ton behemoth of bone and muscle. He's also perennially ticked off and has a penchant for crushing and eating smaller creatures unfortunate enough to cross his path.

Chock-full of bawdy British humour, Giants successfully combines gameplay elements from a number of different genres and is one of the most innovative 3D action offerings in recent years.
