A stellar third-person shooter that pulses with feverish invention, A&D welds together top-notch controls, a truly mental plot, and some of the most strategic gunplay to hit consoles in ages.

Embarking on the game's destruction train gives players access to dandy weapons such as the shark gun. [Mar 2004, p.93]

We need more games like this - ones that are confident and individual - but we need them to be less roughly hewn. The core of the game is solid, but the way it's applied throughout the levels just isn't interesting enough. [Mar 2004, p.98]

Trying to rate from a 2003 perspective. I think graphics is below par even for 2003, and the gameplay gets repetitive very quickly even though in the beginning it feels like a more robust game. Not sure if you need to try it in 2022.

I played the game through games with gold on series x and I really enjoyed. The story is weird and funny and the gameplay is fun old school third person shooter stuff.

playing this in 2020 just opened my eyes of how games sometimes should be. this game is not serious, the story doesn't matter, the graphics are pretty bad, the animations are freaking **** but so **** that it is good, gameplay just is straight up pretty fun and okay. so now you think if all those things are not good and the gameplay is okay why would this game be an 8 out of 10. Thats just the fact that this game knows its a game and never forgets that. The world in this game is sort of interesting but I shouldnt really focus on it because its the comedy to focus on. For example they think a character is undercooled so they come to the conclusion they have to keep him warm, than another character comes to the idea to put him inside a rhino and when they are pulling that off they literally insurt this character into the rhino's ass and little we know that rhino was still alive. I know this is bad humour but with the graphics and animations that ****ty it just makes it wonderfull and wondering wtf you as the player are playing. I bought this game for almost nothing and I was looking for cupper and than found gold because of this game. If you like silly weird games than this is a game for you if you want something more sirious just get out of here and search further as this game is a lot of fun for people that want something silly and okay to play. PS: I played this on the xbox one as it is backwards compatible and it runs smooth af.

This is a game that re-invents nearly everything it does, from weapons fire to storytelling to rescue missions to boost-and-hover gameplay to bold new ways to humiliate farm animals. [Dec 2003, p.68]

An exciting action game that features a plethora of shooting. While it does this aspect well, the main selling point is the fantastic sense of humor.

While the graphics leave much to be desired and the quality of the CG cutscenes is crude at best, Armed and Dangerous is in the most side-splitting of ways, pure comic genius. [Jan 2004, p.144]

Despite the shallow gameplay, the shooter who wants something different and entertaining will find it here with the Lionhearts and their ultimate heist.

Quite simply the greatest humour since the good old days of the first two "Monkey Island" titles.

A relentless conveyor belt of cannon fodder ensures the carnage is kept at a suitably frantic rate, yet with every wave of cookie-cutter thrown to the mercy of your crosshair, repetition becomes an increasingly prevalent factor. [Mar 2004, p.116]

Armed And Dangerous isn´t an inventive shooter at all. But it doesn´t have to, because the things it does always feel right. The gameplay is action packed and straight forward, the cutscenes and story are hilarious and the characters are special. Every shooter and comedy enthusiast should play this game at least once. Great fun!

Quite simply this is the best 3rd person shooter on the xbox. While the graphics are a little rough, the humorous cut scenes really propel you along: encouraging you to get through the game. The humor is also present in the, admittedly shallow, weapon selection. Later in the game there are several jetpac levels spicing things up a little. A great game, if you're not interested in buying it definitely watch the cut scenes on youtube.

Plutôt moche et très bourrin ! l'univers décalé hystéro-bouffon ne parvient pas à convaincre malgré une VF intégrale de bon aloi. C'est toujours la même chose : dégommer des troufions par centaines ad nauseam et qui n'arrêtent pas de réapparaître... forcément ça soûle assez rapidement. Un petit jeu trop limité et répétitif, pour ne pas dire minable.
SummaryTake a band of gun-toting rebels - a robot, a madman, a mole and a criminal mastermind. Put them in a vividly stunning fantasy realm. Then give them an impossible mission - pulling off the biggest heist of all time in the middle of a war. All you have to do is battle your way through dastardly enemies, giant war machines and an army of p... Read More
