| | | Armed and Dangerous A friend of mine told me to check this game out the other day, so while I perusing a local Electronic Boutique today, I saw it for $30 CDN, and figured why not (I was paid yesterday, so cash to burn  ). Anyway, at first, I was wondering why the hell he recommended it too me, as the install (a hefty 3.79 GB, unlike the 4.5 GB the req's say  ) took a half an hour, and the game play was somewhat repetitive first person shooter.
I soon learned, though. The cinematics of this game are not only of high quality (cartoonish), but they are some funny stuff! It's a Lucas Arts game, so you can expect a somewhat off beat sense of humour, which is simply amazing. The game itself pokes fun of Star Wars all over the place. I won't get into too many details, as not to spoil it, but if you see this game in a used bin, or somewhere cheap, pick it up. It's worth the laughs from the cinematics. |

| | | I saw a review of the game on TV. I actually laughed out loud!
They said that, although the game is real funny, it's also short and a little repetive.

| | | I´ve looked at the game, and played it a few times at a friends house.
Think it's one of those "Damn I realy screwedu my test from this morning"-Games.
Think I will buy it when it becomes niceprice.

Like I said though, if you find it cheap, I'd recommend picking it up. I'm personally happy with the $30 I spent for it. It wasn't too much for it, and I'm getting some comedic value from it. |

| | | I dunno, it's alright, but hardly spectacular. after all, I have got Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and while there is the odd joke or feature that is amusing, it's essentially the same mix of charging around a series of open areas madly firing at stuff, interspersed with the odd puzzle. to be honest, after Giants and the demo, I'm not particularly bothered about the full game.

| | | Bought the game (midterm week next week, and been using Diablo2 to relieve stess from it for a couple of years now, could use a change)
Have to say: LOVE IT.
Great humor, nice gameplay, simple but fun. And the movies are hilarious.
