I have watched all of five minutes of one episode
of 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.
