Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken

With some personality, a sense of humor and a new co-op campaign, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken presents an offer for the Playstation Vita that is hard to beat. When compared to the PlayStation 3 version, the new features are scarce and do not make a real different, but the fact that we can carry around this adventure and its fair price can very well justify its purchase.

Ratloop's Rocketbirds: Hardiboiled Chicken give to a rather conventional shooter/platforming game some unexpected depth, in the form of an interesting storyline and characters introspection. What stands out is its value production, more than brilliant level design or brand new ideas. A good choice for any PS Vita gamer out there.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a really interesting and funny platformer available for PS Vita, with amazing graphics and superb soundtrack. Control schema is a bit clumsy and integration with Vita’s hardware could have been better, but it’s definitely worth a try.

There’s a polish here that belies the game’s browser origins, even if the Vita-specific additions – a tilt-controlled camera, rear touch for aiming grenades – are little more than token gimmicks.

The Vita desperately needs good new games such as Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken. It's not a system seller, but this is solid and stylish side-scrolling action for hardcore players and beginners alike.

Control hiccups and odd design choices keep breaking the game's spell.
