Look! Two references and a thing collected after doing stuff! Well met! It was pretty obvious that the developer was just creating set pieces for the next reference, and that never works for me. The plot and the missions felt pretty hallow, and that’s why all the “doing crap and collecting stuff” just didn’t click with me. All he seemed to want to do was whatever job somebody gave him. I guess he was trying to get back to his own time, though he never expressed he really wanted to go back or if he was even concerned with whatever time he was currently in. Seriously, I have no idea what Player was doing. The ending’s easy to explain: It sucked! But it only sucked because the plot was so lame.

Hi, kids! I’m in that movie you’ve never seen!

All the crap you do and stuff you collect.

66% of that outline is done in the first ten minutes of the game.

There’s three major problems I have with this outline: He wakes up thinking it’s a dream only to look outside and see he’s surrounded by the cops and the army.

The next scene has Player sleeping a la Super Mario Bros.

Player does a bunch of crap and collects a bunch of stuff.

He calls Player the chosen hero (because video games) and says he’ll send Player back to his time if Player helps him fix the “DeLorean.”

“Doc Brown” and his “DeLorean” conveniently and immediately meet Player upon landing.

Player hijacks the booth for some reason and shoots to the future.

Upon reaching the convenience store, “Bill” and “Ted” show up in their phone booth.

In a fit of over-zealousness, The Jester explodes the loot, and Player has to rob a convenience store.

Three years pass, as on-screen text against a pitch black background abruptly points out, and you knock over a bank with the Jester, Dark Knight-style.

Player (That’s the protagonist’s name! How clever!) answers a Help Wanted poster for an aspiring henchmen and, wanting very desperately to hench, starts working for The Jester.

Here’s the game’s plot in bullet-point form: I don’t want to spoil anything, but I’ll do it anyway because I’m just so confused and frustrated. Length’s not a big deal to me, especially when the game was free, but everything is still fresh in my mind and I still don’t know what the hell was going on in the game! The gaming and pop culture references we very distracting, they hardly ever added to the plot, and the plot was ass! I don’t even know what my character’s motivation was! Not that that’s typically a big selling point to me for a video game, but it kinda is when the game’s text heavy, which this one is.Īny time there’s an homage to Engrish, an angel gets its wings. But more on that later.Īs I stated earlier, it took me three days to complete this game. Man, how time flies! I only mention its long development time because I find it detrimental to the game. And here we finally are ten years later with the final product that started when I was a Sophomore in High School and ended a year after I got my Master’s. RCR started life as an 8-bit recreation of Grand Theft Auto 3 and later developed into its own game.

Retro City Rampage is an 8-bit game laden with late-eighties and early-nineties video game and pop culture references that was almost exclusively developed by Brian Provinciano, a Canadian developer, back in 2002. I’m being unfair and getting ahead of myself. I blew through the game in only three days, but those are three days I’ll never get back!īut how can I stay mad at you when you have a death screen like that?Īll right.

So it’s cool, right? Sure it is! Anyway, I’m glad I got RCR as a free Playstation Plus membership benefit, but even then I feel it wasn’t a very strong game or good use of my free time. It’s kind of awkward putting a download-only game in a section called The Game Shelf, but it’s on my Vita, and I put that on my shelf. Publisher: VBlank Entertainment (Everything but XBLA) & D3 Publisher (XBLA) Well, it’s finally here, and, let me tell you, having high expectations didn’t do it any favors.Ĭonsole: PSN, XBLA, WiiWare (Played on the PS Vita) Retro City Rampage was one of those games that clicked with me when I first caught wind of it, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival. But, naturally, upon discovering something so unimaginably “you,” you develop expectations, and high expectations can be damning. Ever look at a video game and say, “This is totally up my alley!” The concept, the premise, the graphics: whenever it all comes together, you feel like you’ve found something special.
