LucasArts has officially announced Armed & Dangerous, a new Xbox and PC action game in development at Planet Moon Studios--the same development house behind Giants: Citizen Kabuto. Players will take on the role of Roman, who happens to be the leader of a Robin Hood-like gang known as the Lionhearts. The other members of the gang have certain specialties, like Jonsey, the demolitions expert, or Q1-11, a droid that serves as the strongman of the group. Lastly, there's Rexus, an old man who possesses magic powers. Roman and his gang are looking for the Book of Rule, one of the most sought after items in the world known as Milola, but naturally, they have to battle the evil king of the land as well as his army of diverse enemies in their quest.

"Armed & Dangerous blends an explosive storyline and over-the-top, bullet-splaying action with a twist of humor," says Liz Allen, director of marketing for LucasArts. "The game is a distinctive, modern take on the kind of original titles that have played such a significant role in shaping the unique legacy of LucasArts."

The game will feature 21 missions spread across five environments ranging from icy areas and forests to mountains and cliffs. Armed & Dangerous is scheduled for release later this year.

--------------------

Planet Moon made the stupdenous "Giants: Citizen Kabuto", so I am definitely excited to see how this turns out.

I am a bit confused....the artical says you take on the role of a Roman....but wasn't Rome around like 1000 years ago? This game looks very modern to me (I could be wrong tho, Romans might have had assault rifles)

If they are talking about modern day Rome, then technically he owuld be an Italian, not a Roman, because Rome is a city. Maybe I am being to technical here, but I am just in that sorta mood right now :p

The screen shots look impressive and the story sounds reasonable, but Lucasarts have developed a reputaion to dissapoint!

So i'll adopt a wait and see stance aswell!

LOL I know that. Only the 1st picuture works for me so i was taking a stab in the dark. Well since the rest of the pics dont work is this gunna be like a swat game, because thats generally who uses SMGs (MP5 being the most prominant). The militry does not and probably never will use SMGs due to thae fact that there fast firing and generally not very accurate close quarters guns. So this game better not be a military game :watchout:

no no no....your supposed to day my sig looks great regarless of its crappyness. Besides it still gets the name Millencolin out....which is good cuz almost no one has herd of them in the good ol US of A.

And about the seals....they have pretty much switched gears to the M4A1. Not that they dont use the MP5, but w/ a silencer the M4 is truly silent, the MP5 has a faint ping noise. Also the M4 is more powerfull and uses different (and better) ammo. The only thing the MP5 has over it is that its smaller and lighter, so like stated before its more used in close quarters combat, but for stealth they usually go for a sniper or two (usuarly SR-25s) and then the remaing members will grab a M4. LOL i did my homework...IM somewaht of a gun fanatic :watchout:
