Armed and Dangerous

Armed and Dangerous is a third person shooter created by Planet Moon Studios and released by LucasArts in December 2, 2003 in North America and February 27, 2004 in Europe.

Plot
Roman and his sidekicks Jonesy, Rexus and Q head out to look for The Book of Rule to reveal its secrets.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Great soundtrack composed by Anna Karney in which sounds pretty well to the Fantasy setting.
 * 2) Not only the game gives you the normal weapons, the game adds a few strange but cool weapons for the player to use. Such as the famous Land Shark Gun in which a shark goes underground to eat the enemy, a gas grenade that not only blinds the enemy but end up making them shoot their squad for you. And the most overpowered one is a device which temporarily reverses gravity in which kills many of the enemies on screen. In some levels the game gives the player a Jetpack that allows them to fly over the level.
 * 3) Great voice acting done from Brian George.
 * 4) The cutscenes while badly done using the game engine, can be pretty funny sometimes.
 * 5) The box art is very well done, as it looks realistic and how the LucasArts brand has done with the covers of the movies and games they published.
 * 6) The Xbox version adds Online Multiplayer, and adds a few game demos on the game disc. In which the multiplayer was later discontinued when Xbox Live shutdown in 2010.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The graphics and environment have not aged very well even for 2003 standards, as the environment has a bunch of objects clipping through the ground, the trees just being a pole with images of branches being around the pole, and some of the textures are blurry and low quality. It is very noticeable if you played the game on the Xbox One.
 * 2) *The Cutscenes are also poorly done due to being made on the game engine, has bad lip-syncing, and like the environments stuff clips through stuff in which is noticeable with Roman's mask clipping through his face.
 * 3) The cutscenes on the Xbox version are just recorded from the PC version, just stretched to widescreen and the subtitles being removed from them.
 * 4) The game is very short and can be beaten under 2 hours, it is possible to beat the game under 1 hour if you abuse the Bunny Hop glitch which ends up making your jumps go further.

Reception
The game received "generally favorable reviews" on both platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.

Like Giants: Citizen Kabuto the game sold poorly, and was later considered to be a underrated gem by gamers.

Trivia

 * 1) This game and Giants: Citizen Kabuto were Planet Moon Studios' only games that were well received. As later on, the company's games became lower quality and the last game they ever developed before closing their doors is Tangled: The Video Game in 2010.
 * 2) Due to limitations of the Xbox games on newer consoles, you cannot play the demos or play the multiplayer on the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One.
 * 3) The actor for the main villain of the game King Forge, Tony Jay passed away on August 13th, 2006 due to a tumor in his lungs.
 * 4) The game went into Games With Gold for Xbox users in September 2020.
