Gigantic Gear is an excellent (albeit short) freeware giant robot action game from Japan. Aside from sporting excellent 3D graphics, the game offers a few innovative features that set it apart from other “shoot everything in sight” games. The best feature is the ability to assemble your killer mech from parts: legs, weapons, etc., and see them in action. There are only 3 levels in the game, but they are quite large. The on-screen radar makes it easy to keep track of where the enemies are, and you can switch weapons on the fly. Overall, another great Japanese freeware gem that boasts very high production values. The game is in Japanese, but the shoot-all-in-sight gameplay makes language a bit redundant ;) Two thumbs up, way up! Note: Basic controls to get you started are as follows - Y = shoot, D = hit, S = change weapon, C = jump/fly. Reviewed by: Underdogs |
