    RTX combines some unique gameplay elements to enhance a traditional third-personal action game, and while it might not be the best game out there, it does offer a certain charm.

    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.

    If anything lets the game down it’s this combat system, which really doesn’t need to be there.

    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]

    With repetitive gameplay, basic graphics and poor controls, especially in gunfights, RTX is one of those products that sounds good on paper, but weak in execution.

    Rather like "Angel Of Darkness," if you're prepared to stick with it and cast off your frustrations and the game's limitations, you'll slowly begin to enjoy what is actually a rather solid enjoyable, well paced adventure game.

    With well designed levels, and a multi-purpose eye-piece for the game’s main character, there could have been a lot of fun to be had in this game, but unfortunately RTX is riddled with countless tedious fetch quests and a sketchy enemy lock-on system that seriously drags down the enjoyment of the game.

    Fails to deliver where it counts. The gameplay is unfocused and bland, and from a purely superficial level, it has its share of technical problems too.

    An over-reliance on gadgetry and a cumbersome interface make playing the game more of a chore than anything else. [Sept 2003, p.38]

    Ultimately, the only ones likely to enjoy RTX Red Rock are the hardcore sci-fi buffs who can look past the flawed game engine and through to the core story. There is a lot of potential in RTX, sadly most of it is unrealized.
  12. Cheat Code Central

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

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.… Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
