#RETRO CITY RAMPAGE DX REVIEW UPGRADE#

The virtual buttons are in easy-to-reach spots and donвЂ™t block the action much, the contextual commands are easy to intuit, and even more complex actions like taking cover or stomping on heads are a cinch to pull off. I was expecting to want to knock the touch controls (because mobile port, and IвЂ™m a realist), but they honestly work really well. ItвЂ™s tough to stay mad at a game this unabashedly silly and fun. having to play through tough sections a bit too often), which is a holdover from the original release, but eh. I sometimes take issue with the checkpoint placement during missions (i.e. All the mini-games, visual character customizations, secrets, and so on are present and accounted for. ItвЂ™s the same game it was on consoles, PC, and handhelds but now you can play it on your phone and use touch controls. And the fact that thereвЂ™s so much of it everywhere actually makes it feel more cohesive, rather than seeming like a huge mess.ДЄs for the mobile port itself, well, itвЂ™s Retro City Rampage DX. Virtually every pixelated inch of the game includes some sort of nod to something вЂ“ The A Team, Back to the Future, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Meat Boy, the band Devo, etc.

But what makes Retro City Rampage DX stand out from the crowd of вЂњme tooвЂќ GTA wannabes is its sense of humor.

As with most open-world games it essentially boils down to taking on story and side missions for cash and the occasional unlocks, with plenty of random point-chasing acts of violence thrown in for good measure. If you loved the original GTA games than this game is up your alley, if not then turn your attention elsewhere.The story mode follows Player One as he goes around Retro City causing all sorts of mayhem because heвЂ™s a greedy, terrible person. Other than my gripe over the graphics, the game is pretty fun but can get boring fairly quickly as well. I like the game but it needs to up the graphics. I have recently played an old school system and it ruined my memories of the game, so I feel that is basically what has happened with this game.

I liked playing this game, it was great to relive my past but at the same time I prefer to leave my memories of past games just there, in the past. I still enjoyed it but the game itself felt kinda like playing GTA with the NES feel. It has some humor that will make you remember the past more than just make you laugh. Retro City Rampage DX is an 80вЂ™s and 90вЂ™s tribute to video games and movies.

There are also shops throughout the game where you can upgrade to new weapons. There are also side missions called arcade challenges that you can earn bronze, silver or gold awards, with the occasional вЂњparticipation award.вЂќ Some of the missions will include using a tank to cause as much destruction as possible, beat people with a billy club and more. For example, you will play a mission early on that is a complete generic version of Back to the Future. Some of the missions in the game are rip offs of movies and such with generic names so there is no copyright infringing. There are missions that must be completed for you to progress through the game for completion. You can steal vehicles such as the ninja turtles van, the A-team van, police vehicles and etc. ThereвЂ™s the option of choosing weapons from a wide variety of guns to baseball bats to guitars. As soon as you push any direction on the analog stick the vehicle or character instantly turns. The controls of the game are pretty tight. The game play of Retro City Rampage DX is good for the most part. It gets you in the mood to steal cars, cause chaos, and other fun criminal behavior. The music goes great with game all around from the theme song to the sound effects. The gameplay is like an NES game too, itвЂ™s not necessarily glitchy but itвЂ™s block-like with the explosions and other things to that extent. It reminds me a lot of my younger years, which is good and bad because it is like reliving your childhood but going back to those graphics makes it so hard to want to continue to play very long. The graphics of the game are pretty brutal but it is just like an 8-bit NES game. IвЂ™ll make this easy for you right away, if you donвЂ™t like old school NES games or the GTA games that were over head view than do not bother playing this game and go do whatever does float your boat. Retro City Rampage DX also reminds me a lot of Grand Theft Auto 1, 2 and London. I love that the game involves a generic version of my favorite characters of all time, the teenage mutant ninja turtles and you can actually drive the turtle van which is totally cool. If you ever played the original NES than you will definitely catch a lot of the game references that are involved. I do however, love how they incorporate all my childhood favorites into the action. Is Retro City Rampage DX a parody? I donвЂ™t feel like they have expressed that enough to start the game or throughout the game. PLATFORM(S): PC, Wii, PS3, Ps4, xbox 360, 3DS, Vita
