Game from LucasArts have always been some elusive charm that long attracted to the toy and made to carry out her days and nights, forgetting about food, sleep, study and friends. Each new project LucasArts is always waiting with anticipation and great enthusiasm. The company has - many well-known hits like Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango, Escape From Monkey Island, etc. They all have splendid dialogues, interesting puzzles and a great sense of humor. And in early December this Publisher graced us with his new project titled Armed & Dangerous. Development of the game in conjunction with LucasArts led studio Planet Moon, a well-known work on the comic ekshenom Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and MDK and Earthworm Jim. Is it any doubt that such an alliance could generate only 100% hit?
So, we Armed & Dangerous. Will he save family features games from LucasArts, which we love so much? It's safe to reply: Yes, save everything to a single, but still got a lot! The game's plot is simple at the same time, but at the same time quite original. Confront us with the story about the everyday life of labor mercenaries, calling themselves the Lionhearts. These are real pirates, above all else in my life who value freedom, money and adventure. Having started their adventure to steal the artifact The Book of Rule, the heroes get involved in this war of liberation against the evil tyrant Forge, seized power in the world Milola.
Leader is someone Lionhearts Roman (Roman), for which you have to play. This is a man with the appearance of the classic gangster with the Wild West. He even wears a mask to look more intimidating, though some of his associates believe that he is doing it to hide their bad teeth. Roman - a fighter and organizer, great wielding different weapons. And his teammates were fairly exotic. Throughout the game, your brothers in arms are pretty colorful personality.
The first is called a droid assassin named Eliminator Q1-11, a former associate of an evil dictator who was guided to the path of liberalism (as you might think that?) Love of tea! True dictator did not share his views, and Q1-11 was sent to a landfill. He is a great shooter, whose accuracy is not just save your life. Another original - Jonesy, an old friend of Roman's past with him through all the trouble. This full sarcasm Scottish coal miner with a unique focus is a great expert on explosives. Love to the explosive goes well with his very nasty and aggressive nature, resulting in huge losses among your enemies. Newest your companion in the difficult task of overthrowing the dictator would Rexus. The fate of this substance there was not easy. Once he had suffered a head injury, turning it into a big-headed freak with a bluish skin, but not weak giving psychic abilities.As you can see, even though the company have stolen up to, so that Forge will not sweet!
For a showdown with the enemy in the player, a very rich and varied arsenal. Developers certainly worked hard to come up with so many absolutely incredible guns. Although some of them even guns can be called a stretch. How are you, for example, "corkscrew-bomb", which is screwed into the ground, upside down, and sends enemies flying in the expanse of heaven? Then, of course, everything is back to square one, and your enemies, too, returned to meet with Mother Earth ... Another curious instance of such a weapon as "earthy shark." This device produces ground sharks, which vampirism does not concede to his fellow Marine and eat your opponents with surprising rapidity. Along with such "monsters" as "a corkscrew-bomb" and "Ground Shark" in your arsenal is present rocket launcher, shooting four rounds at the same time, each of them tends to his own goal. At the ready with tons of the various weapons and with their own unique abilities, our heroes will be ready to travel the endless space in an amount of 21 missions. During which you will be a battle to break through hordes poluzverey, teams of robots, gangs of angry monks and flocks of wild pigs.
In technological terms the previous game of Planet Moon - Giants: Citizen Kabuto - was an impressive project, so for Armed & Dangerous was used modified the engine of this game. Level design, landscape, shadows, and the architecture looks simply luxurious. Pleases the eye with plenty of open spaces and diversity of the landscape: you will meet and snowy plains and green forests, and much more. Affects the magnitude of some of the fights. Many missions, for example, will be held in the middle of hell meat grinders, when along with you on the level of fighting has many dozens of participants. A huge number of enemies, but the engine is so well optimized that the brake is not seen. Although with respect to this action game eternal rule: RAM is never too much! About the voice acting of the characters and music can only say one thing - they are made in the best tradition of Lucas Arts.
As a result, we have another quality game, which is not a pity to spend a few evenings. But among the other modern projects of its release some special ease of action. So if you want to escape from everyday worries and enjoy great sense of humor, and swift action, this game is for you. And suppose, as developers promise, a smile will not leave with your face down to the final credits.
