Armed & Dangerous

THE BAD:
Nothing really stands out other than your two companions are about as much use as a jock stap made out of extra itchy wool

SUMMARY:
I'd heard that Freedom Fighters was the final word in 3rd person shooters, but no comrades, this is.

For starters the camera in A&D is fantastic (this has been a bug bear for me in recent games e.g. Prince of Persia, F.F.), also you'll get to use some of the most unique weapons ever devised, which you'll need as you mow down hordes of baddies (I think one of the levels has a body count of 1,000). Computer AI is decent enough, baddies will run away at times if they don't fancy the odds, graphics are bob on with some of the scenery explodable.

The selling point for this game will be its humour, which reminds me a bit of Pigs of War on the old PS, and it is actually funny. Which is a good point as it makes the cut scenes watchable (If I wanted to watch a film I'd go to the cinema or buy a dvd, why can't game makers understand this).

Overall: I'f your into your 3rd person shooter type games or just one thats fun to play I'd seriously recomend this game (any game where you get to upgrade weapons in pubs can't be that bad).

THE BAD:
Long cut scenes (could make a great movie just out of those)

SUMMARY:
I think the boys at LucasArts who designed this game were smoking something, not to be meant in a bad way. I had trouble concentrating on the playing the game, only because I was laughing too much. <br>You take on the role as Roman of the LionHearts,while the two other characters are Al. You can control arsenal of serious as well as goofy weapons (bombs that stick to enemies, guns that shoot out land sharks, and a trumpet-looking-thing that shoots mortars). The more mature players will be rolling with laughter while the younger ones may be left saying, "Huh??" The controls are very easy to use and the graphics are decent. Would you care for a cup of tea?
