A game that takes wacky characters and puts them in wacky places in wacky ways.

User Rating: 7.3 | Whacked! XBOX
Whacked! is the first action game to be Xbox Live enabled. It's a very simple game with it's ups and alot of downs.

To start off, the graphics and sound are right on border line. The game looks ok but it's not something to be amazed at. You just won't care about the graphics because they are too boring to even think about. The sound is also fine. Funny, cartoony noises and music give this game the cartoonish feel.

There are 8 playable characters in total, with 1 of them being a hidden character. About 30 weapons, and 13 levels. The gameplay of this game is like kindergarten. It's very easy to play. The controls are well placed, using the triggers to strafe and the rest is jump, attack, etc. The thing about this game that makes it so boring is that it's mostly just about killing your opponents, no matter what game mode your in. Single player is way to easy and will get boring in a minute or two.

Besides all the bad stuff about the game, the best thing to come out of it would be the implementation of Xbox Live. Talking and playing with friends is very fun, and you can be hooked on the game for while, depending how you play the game. Unfortunately, being one of the first Xbox Live games, there are no leaderboards, so playing this game won't have any kind of accomplishments.

Overall, Whacked! is a fun game when you play with your friends, but boring when you blow right through it's boring single player.
