Giants: Citizen Kabuto - Not as good as you remember
While looking (unsuccessfully) for Tribes 2, I found the old CD for Planet Moon's first effort Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and installed it for old time's sake. A quick cheat to get all the missions unlocked, and away I went.
So. Turns out this game wasn't that funny, and wasn't that fun. The reaper's Turbo ability is still totally awesome, and there's still something satisfying about being Kabuto, but the actual gameplay is simplistic, sometimes unresponsive, and generally pretty boring. It takes way too many hits to kill even the weakest enemies, leading just about every weapon/ability to feel underpowered. And the writing I remember being so funny... really isn't.
You can't go home again, I guess.

Heh, I reinstalled that about a year ago and... yup... not as fun as I remembered. Still, it was good for its time.

Now I'm scared to play this game again. I remember loving it back in the day.
Oogaba.
I never really cared for it much to begin with, but then I didn't play it for the first time until maybe a year or two ago.
It's got potential... some really good ideas... but there are a lot of little things that really killed it for me.

Shiny's Sacrifice, which shipped in the same timeframe, and which has a startlingly similar look, is a far superior game, and holds up quite well.
I remember being totally pumped about that game and then utterly disappointed when I played it. It just controlled like crap and I remember feeling like fighting with the controls was a bigger pain then fighting enemies.

The cutscenes made it for me:

I remember this game being a letdown when it released, neither funny nor fun. Looked good on the drawing board, though.

I remember it as a terrible shooter wrapped around some funny writing and cutscenes. Armed and Dangerous was a much better game.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

More longevity in that game than any other single player RTS I have ever seen. Was very disappointed when I finally lost the install disk. Never seemed to earn the credit it deserved.
Anyone know what happened to Shiny?

I still love it. Until about last year, I installed and played it at least once a year. Kabuto is not as fun, but I love the base building and the game play mechanics. I wonder if the game will run under Vista at all?
Never finished the first level, never even saw the "Kabuto". I thought it was badly designed, but I like british humor so I never complained.

Not sure, but you guys are making me want to dig through my disks and see if I can come up with my copy of Sacrifice.
Hmm... not sure where mine ran off to either.

Agreed.
I never made it past the base-building levels for the marines. Go, kill meat, bring meat back. Go, rescue capture Borjoysee (okay, so the name was humorous) and bring them back one at a time. Go, collect more meat and bring it back. Go, bring game to pawn shop, trade it in on something more fun.
I loved Armed and Dangerous though. Played it through end to end twice before uninstalling it. The turret missions were my favorite, followed closely by the jetpack missions.
