GameCube | genre = God game | modes = Single-player | platforms = Nintendo 64DD, GameCube }} is a Nintendo god simulation game for the Nintendo 64DD and Gamecube. It was originally released in Japan on December 1, 1999 as a launch title for the 64DD, for which a soundtrack by Tatsuhiko Asano was released on CD by Media Factory, early the next year. Both of these received positive reviews. An expansion was released five months later called ''Kyojin no Doshin Kaihō Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishūgou'', which takes a very different perspective of the game, featuring short animated clips that the player can unlock after playing the original game. ''Doshin the Giant'' was later released and upgraded graphically for the GameCube and released in Japan on March 14, 2002 and Europe on September 20, 2002. The re-release received mostly positive reviews. ==Story== The game opens on an island called Barudo, with a spoken narration, by an island native. This man, named Sodoru〔Doshin the Giant, instruction booklet, PAL version, page 4.〕 who wears a mask on his face, tells the legend of a giant that rises out of the sea as the morning sun rises. As he tells the player this, Doshin, a yellow giant appears from out of the water. The player then takes control of the giant. Sodoru then tells the player what the other inhabitants of the island want such as trees or hills raised and lowered. He then suggests helping the people, for which they will reward the giant with love, and might build a monument to it. Sodoru then suggests that the giant help bring the four tribes together. It takes Doshin many days to do this, and at the end of each day as the sun sets he returns to the sea. Finally, when every possible combination of tribes has been reached, the islanders then build one final monument called the Tower of Babel, which causes the island and Doshin to sink into the sea, thus destroying everyone. However, the next day, a new island appears at sunrise in the shape of Doshin himself, with two members of each of the tribes on it as before. Doshin then walks out onto the island again and the story continues. The GameCube version, however, has one additional ending with the islanders not building a monument this time, but instead a large rocket that blasts them up into space. This ending has similarities with the beginning of Nintendo's ''Pikmin'', which starts with a crashing ship and the survivor meeting three different colored plant type creatures.〔http://cube.ign.com/articles/166/166510p1.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doshin the Giant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
