Play Loaded Online

Summary

Loaded drops you into a chaotic, top‑down shooter where you pick one of six grotesquely quirky characters – think a psychotic clown or a hulking baby – and blast through mission‑based levels. Each mission kicks off with a brief FMV cutscene, then you room‑to‑room mow down hordes, loot crates, solve simple puzzles and hunt for keycards, all while the game’s dynamic lighting and zoom‑in/zoom‑out controls (R2/L2) keep the action visually punchy.

The game leans heavily into macabre humor and over‑the‑top gore, a tone reinforced by a soundtrack of 21 Neil Biggin tracks (plus a few extras) that even doubles as a regular audio CD. A demo of Loaded was bundled on a PlayStation demo disc in Europe, and the title’s roots trace back to a DC/Vertigo graphic novel penned by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Greg Staples.

Beyond the single‑player grind, you can team up in a cooperative two‑player mode, and at the end of each level the system tallies your greed factor, accuracy and body count to hand out a final score. Critics praised its graphics, lighting and music, and the PlayStation launch moved 250 000 units in the first week, eventually topping 140 000 sales in the U.S.

Storyline

Loaded drops you into the shoes of six psychotic criminals—Mamma, Fwank, Bounca, Vox, Butch and Cap'n Hands—who have been framed by the flamboyant ex‑catering officer F.U.B. After being sentenced to the harsh prison planet Raulf, the player must break out, hunt down F.U.B., and embark on a bloody odyssey across the galaxy’s strange worlds. F.U.B., now the warden of Raulf, has equipped himself with a matter‑manipulating machine that can open dimensional doorways, and he plans to hold the universe for ransom using a prison break as his catalyst. Each character brings a wildly distinct personality and weaponry, from Mamma’s plasma gun and Ripple Grenade to Vox’s Hail Flail and Sonic Blast, giving the escape a chaotic, over‑the‑top flavor. As you battle F.U.B.’s forces across alien landscapes, the ultimate goal is to stop his machine and exact revenge on the mad warden who set the whole scheme in motion.
