    Old-school gameplay with new-school graphics and a lot of (rude) humour... Sign us up!

    There's a lot to like about Rad Rodgers as it's a well-made platforming shooter fueled by '90s nostalgia. It's a bit on the short side and the visuals were too distracting for me but I'd still recommend retro gaming fans to give it a shot.

    Rad Rodgers successfully combines mechanics from many different platform games, but sometimes becomes too repetitive.

    Rad Rogers tries to be a tribute to a genre almost forgotten, and it gets it. Jumping, shooting, solving puzzles...Every aspect of the game is well-implemented, but its lack of duration leaves a bittersweet taste.

    Fun & classic, Rad Rodgers strikes back with the same and interesting platforming videogame and several additions that make him a great product for almost all audiences in console. A good product, perfect for nostalgic-platforming addicts.

    It’s genuinely difficult to not be charmed by the foul-mouthed shenanigans of Rad Rodgers. The game somehow manages to morph extremely dated design ideals into a form that is palatable to the modern console crowd.

It has some witty one-liners and throwbacks to the late 80's early 90's. It has characters that run, jump and shoot.

    Other than that, it's poetic that I'm writing this review while sitting on a toilet. This game is BAD. Not just in the sense that it is extremely repetitive game play, not just in the sense that the one-liners repeat themselves multiple times per level (and get tiresome pretty quick), not just in the sense that the "pixel-world puzzles" slowly drain the character's health, but mainly because it is broken. In my play-through of the game, I was able to reach level 7 (after questioning the life choices that led me to playing Rad Rodgers). Once reaching a certain enemy that you must kill in order to progress (an enemy that is only vulnerable after throwing a boomerang), the enemy got stuck in the map and therefore was not vulnerable.

    Do yourself a favor, don't buy this. I can only recommend this to people who want to have a reason to drink heavily.    … Full Review »

    Hey. this game is not for all the whining wimps looking for a handout, you actually have to search for the pieces that open the next level.Hey. this game is not for all the whining wimps looking for a handout, you actually have to search for the pieces that open the next level. sorry no flashing red dots on your map. does anyone remember bayou billy or milons secret castle on the nes or the original castlevania these game handed you your a** some didnt have a save at all you had to leave the system on all day and hope your mother didnt accidentally cut it off. This game is only practice for megaman 11 get ready to be pissed.all modern day gamers are wimps begging for extra lives and checkpoints, warps so you dont have to walk to the next town. Now my review...very colorful and exciting game play fast paced action with gratuitous cussing and shooting. Very repeditive as are all games shoot jump kill shoot jump kill. Great game, go look at the making on you tube, you'll have a greater respect for all the work that went into this game. I say shut up and play its a great game worth every penny and kids can play too you have the option to cut off blood and language,why hell kids are playing call of duty and gta5 anyway..… Full Review »

The main character's sidekick is a character you'll either love or hate, depending on your tolerance for f-bombs and pop culture references. Good graphics, music like taken right out from a 80s video game and a good challenge even on "easy".

    One huge annoyance though is a boss battle at the end of two levels. It takes a while to learn his pattern and he will kill you with only 2 hits, so the whole fight is a huge annoyance, especially after spending 20-30 minutes on the levels themselves. Die, and you're back to the very beginning of the level. The "kids mode" doesn't really work either. They've forgotten to censor the intro and the credit sequence for some reason, so you'll still hear a f-bomb and a few milder swears.    … Full Review »
