It's that core that won so many IGN editors over at PAX and other trade shows - that core of wandering the NES scene playing GTA. The game is gorgeous with its bright 8-bit visuals and fun to play when you're just roaming the streets and blasting baddies. Having to restart that mission over and over and work through the same low-level foes just wasn't doing it for me.This is the weird thing about Retro City Rampage. There's a cute little LARPing mission, but then after making my way through a bunch of goons, the main guy comes out with a flamethrower and just wrecks shop.
Having to work my way through two different rocket launcher gangs spread across the map and then dying during the third and final gang only to discover the checkpoint sent me back to before the missions began - egads, man!Īnd that isn't the only instance of checkpoints throwing stuff off. These missions didn't inspire me to keep trying. Retro City Rampage keeps track of each death, and there were quests where I was accumulating 20 fails before quitting to another mission or finally slipping past. There isn't a voice to the tale in Retro City Rampage it's just reference after reference leading you from one mission to the next. Again, that's all wrapped up in the nods to other properties from Ninja Turtles to Super Mario. Sure, there's a sneaking mission here or a flying suit there, but you're still walking into rooms and blasting people to death. As you get deeper into the story missions, this kind of fetch questing keeps on coming. You run out, shoot up a place, get the item and head back.
It all starts off innocently enough with us running to and from Doc Choc's lab in an effort to get the time machine working again. I was left talking about missions that just weren't fun. There's so much content in this game - 50 vehicles, different video filters, leaderboards, cameos from the PlayStation Blog and Destructoid editors, and more - but in the end, that's not what I was left talking about. Layered on top of that are mini-games packing the likes of Epic Meal Time and Super Meat Boy.
