For all its competence, there's no real hook for anyone who doesn't remember the original Rocket Knight game. It appeals mainly to nostalgia for the way platformers used to be. Although it has a lovely next-gen presentation with the hi-res, 3D graphics engine, this is very much two-or-three-gens-ago gameplay.

Edge MagazineThe game's major flaw, however, is its brevity. [July 2010, p.105]

It's hard to know how many people are really going to care about the return of Rocket Knight. Climax has done a decent job of giving it a modern sheen, but while it's mildly entertaining and completely inoffensive, it's also forgettable.

Great platformer with a nice nostalgia factor, but too short given its high price.
-
Games Master UKIt's short, though, and not worth the price. [Aug 2010, p.101]
-
An inoffensive 2D platformer with some novel ideas - but fairly vapid and overly expensive.
-
Play UKGood fun. [Issue#194, p.102]

PSM3 Magazine UKThe price tag is too high. [July 2010, p.97]
