    Very Funny. Graphics a little below average.

    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.

    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.

    Trying to rate from a 2003 perspective. I think graphics is below par even for 2003, and the gameplay gets repetitive very quickly even though in the beginning it feels like a more robust game.
    Not sure if you need to try it in 2022.

    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]
  3. Edge Magazine

    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]
