Rocket Knight Adventures

"Introducing The Mightiest Mammal Ever To Rocket To Stardom!"

Konami just keeps those hits rolling! Yes I would have to agree that this game is one of the most underrated games ever. I took a chance really when I first purchased it not knowing anything about the game whatsoever! It turns out to be one of the best Genesis games I have ever played. Get ready to rocket your way through one epic adventure you will surely never forget.

:Story:

This is not just your average save the princess, banish the evil, and save the world game. It's a kick-ass save the princess, banish the evil, and save the world game. You play as Sparkster, the heroic opossum in this epic adventure. Your job is to save the princess and put things right once and for all, are you heroic enough for that?!

:Gameplay:

Not for nothing but anyone who hasn't played or is planning on playing this game is seriously missing out on some BIG time FUN. Rocket Knight Adventures was definitely a new approach to gaming with it's sweet and awesome gameplay and odd enemies. Playing as an opossum could never have been as cool as this. This game is just so enjoyably fun, it's amazing! Some levels are mixed and you do a little bit of everything which switches up the never getting boring gameplay. You take on an arsenal of baddies and the boss fights are intense and mad fun. I would have never thought I would be saying this before but the bosses are actually really fun to fight!! seriously! Add some tough teeth clenching challenge and you have a golden classic game for Genesis. The games controls are so easy and never get frustrating they become almost second nature. Also with your own slick moves to pull off you are in for the ride of your life....can you handle that?;-)

:Graphics/Sounds:

Another WOW for this game! The levels are so beautifully detailed you will notice that everything will catch your eye the instant you play. The sounds and music in this game were so good, I had to listen to a few over again in the sound test!! You will definitely love what you see and hear in this wonderful game we should all be thankful for.

:Playtime/Replay Value:

As much as you would like to rocket through each level the challenge gets beefed as you progress and takes patience and skill. The replay value for this game should be obvious by now, you will surely be playing this title for much time to come.

:Final Word:

Please DO NOT pass up a fantastic game such as this! You will really be glad once you pick up this game because it is so well worth it. Great story, fantastic gameplay, memorable graphics and sounds, what more could you want from a classic?!

-Happy Gaming!
