Is there any real way to animate this thing?
I tried today and the animation was choppy when trying to make it walk. The legs can only move left and right and the knees don't bend. The ankle joints are almost worthless. Do I need to modify the set in order to have smooth animation? 
Yes. I will like to buy this however, and modify it for a Strider. But if the joints are like you said, then you'll have trouble animating.
you should modifie it so the nees can move and the legs move how you wont.
Take out its current joints and install ball in socket joints.

Will those things be able to hold up the set?
Yeah, ballsockets should work find.
Okay, I'll see if I can scrap up four sets of ball-in-socket joints. I'm gonna be digging for hours!

What, pray tell, is a 'nee'?
i have this set, the ball joints should work pretty well i think, it might be a bit too heavy though...

Nice grammar

Dude, you don't have any Bionicle pieces?
Yea, if you have bionicle sets (preferable from 2001-2005) use those parts. I would not, however, recomend using the joints made in the last 3-4 years, they break very easily.
You should modify it so that the knees can move, and so that the legs can move how you want.
Fixed. 
(I just couldn't stand how horrible that grammar looked.)
