Gameplay wise, you’ll be hard-pressed to run out of things to do in RCR. Not only is there a free roam mode right off the bat, but the New Game+ is crazy and off the wall too.

Retro City Rampage knows what it wants to be, and throws in everything but the kitchen sink to get there. It’s old-school, it’s witty, and it manages to be familiar while still being minty fresh. Any of the indie game “purists” out there that say otherwise deserves a rocket to the face.
A sharp, witty script, videogame and pop culture references galore, and a nostalgia-inducing soundtrack make Retro City Rampage a worthwhile endeavour for anyone looking to take a vacation to the 8-bit days of yore.
