    The weapons and humour in this game are outstanding. But the gameplay variety could really use some work. It's a single player only shooter, and the goals always seem to involve blowing something up.

    Very Funny. Graphics a little below average.

    Well - granted the game was a riot. but if I want comedy I'll rent a movie. I expect good game play, with comedy being a bonus. The graphics were HORRIBLE. Honestly the worst I had ever seen. It's a basic shootem up - with some from what I hear nifty weapons (I couldn't stomach the game long enough to play with everything). It's basically a shoot-em-up game with hilarious dialoge but Commodore128 like graphics. Ok - that was too harsh, but the graphics were so bad - nothing can make up for it. I wouldn't pay $5 for this game.… Expand

    This one is pure genious, folks. A&D is probably the most quality third person shooter I've played on the XBox, with the exception of MechAssault. The story elements are definitely original. The action is tried-and-true 3ps, but with a few extra elements not found anywhere else (jetpacks, black-hole grenades, and the landshark gun). The biggest downfall is the graphics, which are still better than some of LucasArts' other endeavors. If you're into this genre, its definitely worth picking up.… Expand

    A&D is definitely not the most fun shooter I've ever played. The graphics are just a step above Half-Life 1, which is pretty much unacceptable for a game made in 2003. The gameplay is overly repetitive and gets old after a short bit of playing. However, the cutscenes are hilarious and the Shark Gun and Topsy Turvy Bomb give at least 30 minutes of pleasure. This is a game for entering cheat codes in, not one for playing in full.… Expand

    Fun gameplay for about 20 mins then gets really boring. Graphics are a little low. Guns are so cool. But gameplay just cant last. Only a 5.

    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]
