Giants: Citizen Kabuto (2000)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants:_Citizen_Kabuto
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a third-person shooter video game with real-time strategy elements. It was the first project for Planet Moon Studios, which consisted of former Shiny Entertainment employees who had worked on the game MDK in 1997. Giants went through four years of development before Interplay Entertainment published it on December 7, 2000, for Microsoft Windows; a Mac OS X port was published by MacPlay in 2001, and the game was also ported to the PlayStation 2 later that year.
In the game, players take control of a single character from one of three humanoid races to either complete the story in single-player mode or to challenge other players in online multiplayer matches.
They can select heavily armed Meccaryns equipped with jet packs,
or amphibious spell-casting Sea Reapers;
the game's subtitle, "Citizen Kabuto", refers to the last selectable race, a thundering behemoth who can execute earthshaking wrestling attacks to pulverize its enemies.
The single-player mode is framed as a sequential story, putting the player through a series of missions, several of which test the player's reflexes in action game-like puzzles.
Game critics praised Giants for its state-of-the-art graphics on Windows computers, a humorous story, and successfully blending different genres. Criticisms focused on crippling software bugs and the lack of an in-game save feature. The console version rectified some of the flaws found in the PC versions, at the cost of removing several features. The game initially sold poorly for Windows and PlayStation 2; however, it sold well afterwards, and gained a cult following.
..
Many reviewers found the best part of Giants to be its bawdy humor; the scenes were "bizarre and funny without ever letting the silliness distract or annoy the player".

About This Game
Before man climbed down from the trees to shop in megastores and drink cappuccino, before the Earth wadded itself into a cool blue ball, before the Moon even existed, there was the Island. The Island, a massive fragment of a long-lost planet, hurtling blindly through space. Upon the surface of this paradise wanders the giant, Kabuto. Little does Kabuto know that the Island was home to others before him. In the oceans, there dwells a matriarchal race called the Sea Reapers. In their pride, they created Kabuto, as a defense against intruders. But Kabuto became conscious of himself, his loneliness, his pain - and he went berserk.
Space castaways, the Meccs piloted their ship through space, looking for their missing friends. If you haven’t guessed already, they ended up on the Island. Faced with yet another unscheduled layover while on their way to Planet Majorca, the Meccs decide to make the best of their temporary home. Just their luck - the natives are already embroiled in their own little war, and the Mecc visitors are most unwelcome!
Meccaryns... Sea Reapers... Kabuto... One island isn’t big enough for the three of them.
Three unique races, each with a totally different gameplay experience
Bawdy humor that will keep you laughing throughout the game
One of the most original games ever created
original version from 2000

Giants: Citizen Kabuto official retail patch 1.4
https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/1838/7/25395
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/197449-giants-citizen-kabuto
One difference between the Retail US and EU game versions
was the censoring of the Topless Sea Reaper in the US Version
with an added bra.
The EU version is uncensored (UK apparently the same as US).
Sea Reapers Uncensored
To restore the original Sea Reapers look (Topless).
Open the ''Bin'' folder where the game is
installed. Delete/Rename/Move the file ''arpfix.gzp''.
will still wear a bikini during the loading screen.
Gog forum thread
https://www.gog.com/forum/giants_citizen_kabuto/mindless_censorship/page1
Hi! Although I prefer the bikini, if you want to play with the original version of Delphi, just remove the file arpfix.gzp from your game folder (GOG.com\Giants – Citizen Kabuto\bin\).
The censorship goes away also by installing the GeForce3 Patch
