Rocket Knight Adventures

"I can't believe humans made this game."

In this game, you basically use a jet pack and a sword that shoots little things out to kill stuff. It is basically one of those ''rescue the princess and stuff'' kind of game, but this is pretty good for one of those kind of games. In fact it is pretty good for any kind of game.

Game play 100%
The control is pretty easy, you have this Jet pack and that is one of the essentials to this game. If you can not master that, then what can you do? But, do not worry about that, the Jet pack requires a brief charge and just holding in the direction you want then firing. As for the sword, it is pretty simple, it can be used both as a close and a long range weapon because when you attack with it, it fires a little boomerang-like thing out and causes quick damage. The game is pretty fun when you get further into it. As for bosses, they are your average boss, requiring you to follow a pattern or so to beat it, but these are more interesting than a normal boss like that, and you wouldn't believe what they could be.

Story 70%
Like I said in the Introduction, this is one of those ''save the princess and stuff'' kind of games, but this is a little different. In this game, Sparkster has to chase down some weirdo who resurrected old weapons from an old army and tries to resurrect an ancient but very powerful weapon from the old army and it turns out that the princess is the only one who can activate it.

Graphics 100%
The graphics are pretty good for a Genisis. The backgrounds are pretty good. In level 5 it looks like a super industrial world with less sunlight passing through it than Seattle.

Sound 100%
One hundred percent is underrated for this game. Most all the songs are catchy. Now, you know how most all boss music is cool, well just listen to this. I tell you what, your ears and speakers will thank you for playing this game.

Play time and replayability 100%
It takes a good while to complete this game. I got this game quite a while ago and I still play it now. Sure, there are only seven levels, but they are very big.

Final recommendation
I would strongly urge you to buy this game. If you do not have a Genisis or a Super Nintendo entertainment system, get either one and get a copy of one.
