I’ve been wanting to play a new old-school side-scrolling beat ’em-up for year’s now and thankfully I got my wish with Raging Justice. As a kid I can’t imagine the amount of hours I sunk into this genre and Raging Justice brings back a lot of fond memories despite suffering with a few problems every now and then.

As a kid I can’t imagine the amount of hours I sunk into this genre and Raging Justice brings back a lot of fond memories despite suffering with a few problems every now and then. Obviously the most important aspect of a game of this ilk is its combat, and thankfully it delivers everything I would expect in this area. The combat remains fun from start to finish and battering enemies remained satisfying throughout my time with the game. Speaking about the enemies there is a great deal of variety with each enemy you face, and I must admit that I especially enjoyed the boss battles that were present in the game. Each boss has a unique side to them and this in turn makes each boss feel important which is great because that is what it felt like back in the day. If you like lots of weapons to defeat these enemies then Raging Justice will satisfy you a great deal. Each weapon in the game feels awesome and there’s nothing better than clearing out a number of enemies at the same time with these weapons. To say I enjoyed my time with this game would be a massive understatement and it’s a shame that it doesn’t have a huge amount of content for you to sink your teeth into. I would have definitely liked an online component because this would have definitely gave the game more replaybility, but I understand that sometimes this can’t always be possible. Another thing I wanted more of is a story. There is a story present in the game but it’s very basic and generic and more information about the enemies you face would’ve been a nice addition. In terms of the technichal side of the game it’s a bit of a mixed bag. On the one had the controls are brilliant and remain tight and responsive throughout, there are however a few problems when it comes to the animations in the game but in the end I ended up forgetting about these problems. I will say though that they got the presentation side of the game absolutely spot on. With both the visuals and sound design they’ve managed to include both an old-school and modern feel and this without a doubt makes the gameplay even more fun and enjoyable. At the end of the day I applaud the efforts of the husband and wife developers that created Raging Justice. They’ve managed to make me fall in love with this genre again, and whilst the game isn’t perfect it easily gets more right than it gets wrong, and if you’re a fan of this specific genre then I fully recommend that you give this game a try.… Expand
