'Landit Bandit' (PS3) Coming This Week - Screens

by Rainier on June 21, 2010 @ 5:59 p.m. PDT

Landit Bandit is a 3D helicopter game that combines modern technology with retro design to provide a unique experience for console gamers. Defy gravity over 20 levels in either singleplayer or co-op splitsscreen campaign mode, or battle your friends in 6 different duels.

The game comes with intuitive controls that will have you playing instantly, but make no mistake, this gem rewards both skill and training. Whether you are mastering the art of the ninjarope to shave valuable seconds of that online highscore or attempting that epic coconut throw at your splitscreen opponent, Landit Bandit will keep you coming back...

Meet Marley and Lander, two unexpected companions heading for the big city in something that the FAA would have banned around the time if Columbus.

This all starts one morning as the grumpy art thief Lander is washed up on Marleys tiny tropical island. Lander has in his possession a briefcase of Leonardo DaVincis sketches and is anxious to get this treasure to a Mr Art Steeler in the Big City.


David Skarin, CTO of The Bearded Ladies explains, “It started on a train to Bergen in Norway where me and Haraldur were getting drunk and decided we’re not exactly where we want to be, so let’s get to where we want to be”.“When we first started out we were really afraid of being trampled by the giants with regards to Sony, but as it turns out, they’re really great to work with.”

CEO/Producer, Haraldur Thormundsson elaborates on the benefits of the digital download market to indie developers.“We knew digital downloads, the portals like Sony Store, Steam and GamersGate are actually fantastic platforms for small indie companies to produce and publish their own games. Because of those portals we are able to communicate through them to a huge audience and communicate directly with players all across the world. Sony does rock, there is no question about it”.

Through clever use of palm trees and driftwood, as well as good old-fashion rastafari engineering, Marley is able to construct a helicopter from davincis works. This is, if not the perfect way, at least ONE way to get Lander back to the city.

The only things missing; a map, a few safety parachutes and any sense of direction....
