And this itself made no sense. What, did no one else ever notice this little problem? As usual for Final Fantasy, it seems to assume that no one except the main characters actually exists or does anything, ever.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Interesting concept, quirkly world and humor and 3 different modes. Not to mention a fairly good conbination of a platformer and an RTS.

The game is great for the first campaign with the Meccs, but during the 2nd campaign is starts to hurt because of the excess waterskiing. The third campaign, where you play as a Kabuto doppelganger, is okay but quickly gets annoying and repetative.
