Doshin The Giant

Doshin the Giant is the first game on the GameCube where you set the rules and create the world you live in. With two characters available to play, you must first make the choice between the good-natured Doshin or the evil and destructive Jashin, before your quest begins. With an entire community to build, you will be kept thinking on your feet as this fun-filled and imaginative title will surprise you with its charming gameplay.

Based on the ancient myth that good and evil giants roam the land, the four different village tribes on Barudo Islands live day-to-day worshipping the legend. You the Player gets to control Doshin, a good giant whose altruistic nature impacts on the future of the community. You can wander around the weirdly wonderful island, planting trees and building houses.

Here's where the fun begins. At the flick of a button, you can also switch into Jashin, Doshin's evil alter-ego who is prone to destruction and terrorising villagers and their homes. Being good or evil is up to you, but be sure to make the right choice at the right time.

In the game, the different tribes must build 16 monuments between them to worship the giants. Each tribe has different cultures, knowledge and abilities but live apart in their own groups. He may be friendly, but Doshin's long yellow arms and giant strength enables you to change the landscape, raise or lower the fields and draw the tribes together. Only then will tribes begin to mix and work together to build each monument. With every good deed, you can absorb the love emotion and collect hearts allowing him to grow bigger and stronger.

Jashin, the red alter-ego is not only stronger but also allows you to destroy buildings and breathe fire onto the island. Collecting hate emotions and skulls lets you cause mass destruction across the islands, creating havoc and chaos amongst the tribes. The monuments your tribes construct differ, depending on their good or evil origin. Between the two giants, you must ultimately bring members of each tribe together to build all 16 monuments.

But disaster can strike at any time! Tornados or volcanoes can rip through the island leaving the villages and monuments destroyed. Time is of the essence and a cool head is required when you attend to each problem and swiftly limit the amount of damage caused. Whether you choose to live life on the good or bad side there's a great feature to take pictures of your favourite Doshin/Jashin moments along the way to show to your friends.
