    RTX shocked me with its design, music, and especially story integration which borders on greatness. [Aug 2003, p.77]

    There are a lot of things to do in this game, but at times it seems really scattered, meaning that LucasArts came up with a great idea, but it feels like they didn’t fully realize their vision, and the gameplay reflects that.

    The cheesy sci-fi atmosphere won't do much to convince you to play this game, and neither will the derivative gameplay and level design. [July 2003, p.106]

    It's void of any scenic ambience which gives the game a sterile appearance that is also, unfortunately, reflected in the gameplay.

    Infinite lives can't make up for gameplay that rivals NES games for cheap deaths, many of which are caused by shoddy controls. RTX Red Rock is an experience in pain.
  6. GamePro

    Sloppy controls, meandering pace, Ginsu-choppy frame rates, generic environments, and beat collision detection.
  7. PSX Nation
    30
    From generic character designs to an underwhelming audio presentation (in a LucasArts game??!!), and from its close-to-unwatchable frame-rate choppiness to the endlessly boring fetch quests across Mars, RTX Red Rock is a laundry list of what NOT to put out on the crowded 3rd person action/adventure PS2 market these days.

Yes the story line's cheesy, and yesThis game was my favorite growing up and I still love it. I think the critics were really harsh about it. Yes the story line's cheesy, and yes the graphics aren't the best, but it's an old PS2 game that deserves more credit than it got. People criticize the game play but I don't hear anyone else criticizing the loose controls on Assassin's Creed and how they're storyline bashes an honorable Christian monk order. The music and level design are what make this game so great and no one gives it credit for that.… Expand

It was incredibly bad and I feel sorry for anyone that's had the displeasure of playing this. The controls are terrible. You only have 2 zoom options. The difficulty is out of this world, and the level design makes absolutely no sense. Not to mention the plot is your generic "aliens on Mars" story that you don't even hear about in jokes anymore. Nobody should ever bother with this game.… Expand
