    Most of the platforming is top-shelf stuff, and the few issues with the controls notwithstanding, I had a great time with the game. Fifteen dollars is a bit high, though, for the amount of pleasure most folks will likely mine from the experience.

    The game is great fun, but there's simply not enough content here for $15.

    Old school playability, sweet graphics on one hand, and a way too short lifespan on the other. Retro is maybe on, but there are a lot of better titles to try. [Issue#192]

    Rocket Knight requires perseverance and perfectionism, but offers nothing in return.

It's got quite a charm and really brings you back to the original Rocket Knight. It's probably the only game that's still on my PC even after all this time. Also... Sega should've probably made him their mascot instead of that stupid blue ball Sonic (Though he redeems himself in the latest series! Spoiler!!).… Full Review »

Brings back the rocket knight memories as a kid. I love to rocket boost and stab through groups of enemy's. This is a game where you have to think fast and you can go through this game attacking everything in site without getting hit like a Jedi using the force. They should remake the first and second one using this engine.… Full Review »
