This is sadly one game on the long list of 'Should have been successful'.
The game itself is fairly average stuff, good but not great. The game is split up into three sections each with a different control system. The first is a team based tech. squad, starting with one member then increasing as you progress through the game. So far so guns and rocket packs.
Then the games control passes to a different character, this time alone and based around magical powers.
In the final section the game twists again, this time you control a giant (of the title) on a larger scale than the others.
The multiplayer section is also reasonable, offering a mix of the singleplayer groups. Such as three-for-all with every team being represented or just two sides one-on-one. The first two teams revolve around building a base and the last a more of a free-roamer.
If that was all there is to this game it would rate around 3-4 stars however the game is broken up by the most hilarious cut-scenes. Documenting the journey each group takes.
One of my favourite parts is probably when the second player is being guided by an NPC:
"Here we are, Blind Man's Volcano."
"I don't see a volcano?"
"What do you expect the poor man was blind!"
