4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, good humor, but sometimes frustrating, July 25, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Armed and Dangerous (Video Game)

This is an excellent game. This is one of the few games that has very funny cut scenes and great humor throughout the game. The action is also great, and the special weapons (like the 'land shark' or the 'pocket black-hole') are superb. I enjoyed most of the experience.

Why only 4 stars? Because of the idiotic save-game system! The way you save in this game is by visiting pubs that can be found in the levels (usually one per level). While visiting these pubs is great fun (take the time to listen to the dialog!), they do not work well for their intended purpose. For one, they are to inconsistently positioned. Sometimes, you may play for half an hour, just to find a pub 2 minutes before the end of the level. This causes you to replay very large portions of the game, some of which you literally have to learn by heart and play absolutely perfect (count your bullets!) to make it through.

The other problem with the pub-save-system is that the levels are way too big for a single save point (and the levels with more than one pub are generally the shorter ones for some odd reason). It's just not cool to play for 30 minutes or more without an oportunity to save. You often achieve major objectives with no save point anywhere to be seen.

Also, you will find yourself going back to the pubs just to save the game again. This means that you end up running through previously cleared parts of a level with nothing to do. For minutes at a time! Can you say 'boring'?

If this game had a better save-game system, it would be pure fun and an instant classic. The developers cheat themselves out of a great title with this sort of nonsense. I even considered dropping the game's rating to 3 stars, just because of this issue!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun!, December 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Armed and Dangerous (Video Game)

Armed and Dangerous is just plain fun. Pure and simple. From the moment you start the game, you're running through worlds and blowing up stuff left and right. With a compliment of crazy guns (Shark gun- sends out a land shark to eat your enemies, Topsy Turvy weapon- turns the world upside down, etc.) you're in for a stitch-in-your-side, laugh-until-you-cry gameplay experience. The cutscenes will have you rolling on the floor too and even the idle saylines by your buddies are hilarious ("Q, do you ever run out of ammo?" "No, never." "Me neither. Weird isn't it? I reload sometimes but I have limitless ammo. It's creepy!"

While it's not the prettiest game on the market now, who cares! The most important thing is that it's FUN! All the weapons have their own satifying results so you hardly get bored with just shooting one kind of gun. You'll want to use all of them! The AI is decent enough and make for great kills.

Finally, and this is very cool of Planet Moon and Lucas Arts, you can download levels at a later time through Xbox Live! That's right, Planet Moon will release a number of levels for you to download and play! Awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you Planet Moon and Lucas Arts for making such a great and fun game.

So if I were you, I'd go get this game! It's worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Armed, Dangerous, and FUN, December 7, 2003

This review is from: Armed and Dangerous (Video Game)

This game is about one thing: fun. It is outrageous, it has very unrealistic weapons (Shark gun, world's smallest black hole, etc.", and it has a ragtag group known as the Lionhearts. I'm not sure how far through the game I am at this point, but I can't put it down. The jet pack missions are just awesome.

The game won't win any awards for graphics, but they do the trick. No complaints there. The voice work is some of the best I've ever heard. And the sound is top-notch.

The cut-scenes that move the story along are a treat...parodying star wars among other things.

If you just wanna play an old-school, blast 'em up game, this is it. I highly recommend this one.
