If you’ve ever played the original Grand Theft Auto games (before they went all 3D and such), you have a pretty good idea of where you’re at with Retro City Rampage DX. You only answer one of these questions, and I won’t insult you by letting you guess which one. As you run tasks and errands for various members of the city (both above and below board), Player looks inside himself to find out what’s really important in life, where he wants his future to go, and if he can jump a whole schoolbus over a river if he hits that sweet ramp. I mean, to be fair, almost all the crime is perpetrated by you, at the behest of other criminals, and the peril comes from being a bystander when you’re out on the road. Originally called Grand Theft Nintendo (before obvious reasons forced a name change), RCRDX is the story of one Player trying to make his way in a city fraught with peril, crime and “might makes right”| mentality. By comparison, this is my fourth time playing Retro City Rampage (second for the DX version) and it is, without a doubt, still ridiculously fun.Ī quick summation: Retro City Rampage is the homage to end all homages. You simply prayed a friend had scored the game, you could feign wanting to hang out and then wait patiently for your turn to play and hog the controller until he yelled for his mom and you had to go home. There was a time when a game came out on a single system, you could only buy it in stores, you had to pay the MSRP and, if the game was sold out, you couldn’t see others play on YouTube, Twitch or whatever. To follow the story – fan made homage, indie joint release, worldwide phenomenon – is to grasp and appreciate the complexity and new blood style of the game marketplace that we experience in today’s age. Retro City Rampage, from VBlank Entertainment, is a sort of national treasure in the video game world.
