Armed & Dangerous for Xbox is an original squad-based shooter inspired by the legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Set in the distant future, the game stars a confident gang leader named Roman who decides to overthrow an oppressive king with the help of his three-man crew, dubbed the Lionhearts. Players will guide Roman and his team across 21 missions taking place in five regions of Planet Milola. Roman and company will be hounded throughout by a motley assortment of humanoid beasts, fanatical monks, relentless droids, and other freaks of nature.
Each member of the Lionhearts specializes in certain tasks, including demolitions, magic, and muscle. Players will journey across three continents on their way to defeat evil King Forge, each of which offers such varied terrain as mountains, tundra, forests, and cliffs. To help guarantee safe passage, players can use the Cyclops Sniper Rifle to defeat multiple foes in one shot, the Vindaloo Rocket Launcher to fire four simultaneous missiles, and two types of bombs: Sticky Bombs, which can be attached to any surface (including enemies), and Topsy-Turvy Bombs, which literally turn the world upside down for a short time to shake up enemies.
Although it doesn't rate any awards, Armed and Dangerous is a really fun game to play. You can pick it up and blow a quick 20 minutes in it or spend a whole afternoon playing. The weapons are hillarious, like the shark gun-when you shoot someone a shark swims under the earth to them and dives out to eat them, and the upside-down bomb, which turns the world upside-down when you use it, causing most of your enemies to fall off the earth! The game is not that deep, and some of the mission tasks and puzzles are awful, but it IS a very silly kind of fun. Worth renting, or buying for three bucks on eBay for sure!
I rented this game a few years ago, played it and wanted to buy it after that, but never had a chance til I saw it on ebay. This game is rather short, but with all the extras you can unlock, the replayability is high. This games is comedic to an extreme and pokes fun at all a lot of movies particulaly Star Wars. I'd suggest this game to anyone looking for a fairly easy game with some flair to it.
There are some issues with playing it on the Xbox 360, namely audio not working during some cutscenes, but once you've played them you can view the cutscenes through the menu.
I am a little surprised about this title. Critics from various videogame magazines claim that this game is so awesome. Well, I cannot agree. When I play a "third person shooter" I like to hear everything. Not just the shooting but the main character walking/running. Well, you don't hear that in the game. You hear everything else, but cannot hear him moving. I know that may be a silly thing, but I am so conditioned by Half Life but it's irritating. The explosions are awesome and the graphics are good, but the characters are a little too small for my tastes.
