I have watched all of five minutes of one episode ugly americans apocalypsegeddonof Ugly Americans because that was enough to tell me that it was just not my style. Archer, sure, Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Absolutely. Sealab 2021? I am a Barbeau-bot! But this one is just not for me. However, this isn’t a review of the show, this is a review of the game which comes to us in the form of a downloadable dual-stick shooter.

Choose from one of four main characters from Ugly Americans, all of who have some statistics like: strength, vigor, spirit, guts, agility and fortune. Additionally they’ve got some special attack like Leonard’s Exploding Lion Attack, Francis’ Road Strike etc. Finally, they all have a certain affinity

Callie - Extra Damage
Mark - Adds Stun or Slow
Leonard - Add/Extra Pierce
Francis - Bigger explosions.

Now take your character and team up with three other local friends or three people via XBLA and go through dozens of levels of wave after wave of enemies that come at you. Along the way you’ll be able to destroy some minor pieces of the environment for power ups and different ammo. Thanks to the weapon you’re using almost anything is ammo: baseballs, paint cans, fire extinguishers, golf balls, hammers, etc. Each has its own firing pattern and damage.

 Our Rating for Ugly Americans Apocalypsegeddon (XBLA)
6.0
Replay
I might pop in every now and again to finish a level and ultimately the game, but really, yawnage!
7.5
Graphics
Props for sticking so close to the show, unfortunately they don�t translate fantastically to a game.
8.0
Sound
Yes very much like the show. Impressive overall, but not to the point of being anything astounding. Like many shmups the sounds get repetitive and generally ignored.
6.0
Gameplay
It�s a two-stick shooter with some slight variation but drab enemies and bosses make for some almost-snore-inducing gameplay in a very short period of time. Even online co-op just can�t make it all that interesting.
8.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
Local and online co-op and that�s about it. Play through the same game levels as the single player, which the game isn�t really set up as. It�s more like a local multiplayer game, with just one player.
6.5
Overall
Lots of other two-stick shooters are begging for your attention with lower price tags and more interesting gameplay. If you are a fan of the Ugly Americans show, play this demo and see if you like it. If you�re a fan of the two-stick shooter genre, find something else to play with more interesting gameplay.
