    I loved Rocket Knight Adventures and it's two sequels on the Genesis and SNES. I was sad that there wasn't any sequels. This was around the end of 2009 and shortly after New Year's day, I heard rumors that a new Rocket Knight game was in the works.

Shortly afterward I have myself a digital copy of Rocket Knight on my PS3...and I love it! The graphics are BEAUTIFUL, the soundtrack is a bunch of orchestral remixes of past Rocket Knight tracks (which is a plus in my book), and it plays like a dream. But it doesn't really add on to the established Rocket Knight formula. I HIGHLY recommend you check this out, as it's also avalible on XBLA and Steam. It is an almost perfect game!… Expand

    Rocket Knight is a short but entertaining game, and quite well remastered in terms of graphics. It also offers the possibility of replaying it to get higher scores and all the trophies (which can be a bit frustrating at times). It is not the best side-scrolling platforming game, but it fulfills its purpose quite well.

    An inoffensive 2D platformer with some novel ideas - but fairly vapid and overly expensive.

    It may only be a two-hour game, but the difficulty is perfect, and it offers plenty of incentive for completionists.

    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.
