I’m feeling all emotional, that the legend that was Rocket Knight Adventures on the Mega Drive will final be passed on to a new generation of gamers.

Rocket Knight Adventures and Sparkster were awesome games in their time. I always thought of the character as Konami's own rip-off of Sonic back in the day.

AWESOME

that game was soooo good!

Thats points well spent on XBLA for me

Loved this game. Will be picking this up on PSN.

No one else disappointed in the visual side? It looks like a low budget 3d nightmare; it's got no style.

New fans might like it but I can't see many players of the original being impressed. An updated version of the original would have been preferable to this in my opinion.

Trying not to sound to fanboy-ish

I must admit I was a bit taken aback by the art style, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

I just hope there is a level with reflecting lava in there somewhere. Oh and giant robot beat-em-up'ish boss. lol

Well this slipped under the radar in the end.

Seems it's out Wednesday, according to DS and Steam have a pre-order up for it (although I can't seem to access it).

It looks like Little Big Planet to me :confused:

I loved this on the megadrive.I'll be getting it when it's released.

i remember playing the original, it was great.

hopefully this lives up to it.

Tute · 27 May 2010 at 17:31

Finally got around to playing it.

Despite feeling really cartoony, it's brilliant. Well done Konami - in my opinion it sticks very true to the originals and i'm just about to drop the money on the full version.

There's a trial up if anyone wants to demo it.

It's well worth it. Really enjoyed the demo and got it as soon as I completed that. Achievements are well done and help with good replayability of the game. 1200 points yes but enjoyable.
