Pros: hilarious story, an original assortment of weapons

Cons: graphics are a bit rough

Here is a game that is truly original in concept. Filled to the brim in British humor and firepower, I'm pretty sure there will never be a game like it. You take control of a character named Roman the leader of a rebel group named the Lionhearts,... which consist of a giant mole with anger management issues, a tea drinking robot/walking teapot (with a very, um, inaproppriate spot for a spout), and an insane, blind old man, with strange powers, ooohh creepy (okay, it's The Force). As Roman you lead the Lionhearts through lands populated with enemy soldiers in order to liberate a kingdom from the grip of an evil king and his dim-witted son. Along the way, you save sheep from being blown up, rescue peasants and drag them home, accidently kidnap the prince, then later circumcise him (don't ask), visit a leper colony, and there is much, much, more. And a truly inventive bunch of weapons, like the Land Shark Gun, which shoots actual sharks at the bad guys. The graphics are ok, the background looks great but the characters are a little rough. The voices do a great job with a script that seems like it was written by Monty Python after a night of binge drinking. The controls are smooth and intuitive. You should buy this game, now!
