    Four-player online co-op also takes the sting out of the dumb A.I., and it showcases how this $10 game should be played. [Holiday 2007, p.70]

    While Rocketmen: Axis of Evil doesn’t give off the best first impression, those that take the plunge and buy the game will find a good game that worships the old-school shooters a bit too much at times.

    It has its fair share of problems, but if you can get beyond them, you'll find underneath a rather pleasant game that can be played with everyone in the room.

    Looks great and it's rammed with fun ideas, but it's gimped by the soft guns and float-o-characters. [May 2008, p.97]

    Rocketmen: Axis of Evil offers up some interesting concepts, but the muddled execution bogs it down.

    I certainly like the depth and variety of the XBox Live Arcade offerings. There are truly some gems in there that are worth their cost in points. Sadly, Rocketman: Axis of Evil falls short of that mark.

    It's a crude and unappealing game, marred by at least three design decisions (the scrolling, the time-limited weapons, the long-winded upgrade system) that immediately make the gameplay a grind rather than a blast.
