Armed and Dangerous PC Review Miami FL

provided by: 

Every so often, a game from a dying genre comes along and sparks up the market again, however for the PC Third Person Shooter market, this reality has yet to be fulfilled. Even with recent hits like Prince of Persia, it seems PC gamers are not overly frilled with the typically 'long view' style action game. Nevertheless, every so often you also get a game from a dying genre like the Third Person Shooter genre that, whilst does not reinvent, does win over many new fans and becomes somewhat of a success. Armed and Dangerous is attempting to do just this - provide a good experience for current and new fans in an effort to hopefully establish a reputable series. Does it succeed?

A & D is your typical Third Person Shooter, that is, it solely relies on the wonders of single player offline gaming. Perhaps this is why TPS games are not as successful as they once were, with the ever increasing presence of online gameplay, people might be starting to feel the A.I. of computer controlled players wearing thin. However, if this is the case, A & D is not to blame, as its A.I. is quite solid. Often in an action game like this, enemies are easy targets, with the challenge purely coming from the amount of them rather than their intelligence, however in A & D, they are both smart and in high quantity.

For instance, when firing on certain enemies, do not always expect them to stay still and hence becoming easy targets. Often they will run about, dodging and moving just like you are, and since there are usually plenty of targets due to their respawning barracks, this makes for challenging intense action. In fact, if you leave their respawning barracks unharmed, the chain of enemies is seemingly never ending, which is why it is often a wise idea to make the barracksyour primary target.

With this said, spawning barracks are not the only destructible structure in the game, in fact every building other than the pubs, which are friendlyre-arming stations,can be damaged one way or another. This isn't just in for special effects either, if enemies are sniping or just camping in a building, taking it down will also often take them down, and in true arcade action style, almost every weapon included is capable of destroying buildings in spectacular fashion. This is not to say the weapons are not specialised however, as many of the unique weapons found in A & D are very situation dependant - from the humble sniper rifle to the "Sharkgun", which shoots a shark into the ground, swimming around attacking any near by enemies. There is no doubting that A & D has some of the most unique weapons ever seen in a TPS on the PC.
