#RETRO CITY RAMPAGE DX CIA UPDATE NAG PS3#

The game might not be as lengthy as your average Grand Theft Auto, but I mean, I’ve never actually beaten a GTA game, so do they need to be so dense with missions? RCR has no shortage of content, especially for the price. The city is smaller, but there’s no shortage of things to do or places to explore, and there are even secret cheat codes to find and enter. What makes Retro City Rampage so impressive is the way that it really nails the whole Grand Theft Auto experience while being more compact. There’s a lot to do here, and the game revels in its goofiness. Play a minig-ame that’s like Test Your Strength from Mortal Kombat but with the Epic Meal Time dudes.

Get a crazy haircut, or a Master Chef helmet. Ride a motorcycle that looks suspiciously like Yoshi. Want to thrash pedestrians around with a bionic arm? That’s possible! Get some super-fast running shoes and run over everyone. There’s a lot to do, and because the game has this parodic tone, it means you get to do some things you can’t do in Grand Theft Auto. You can advance the story with him, complete missions for others, or just run around town and blow stuff up for fun, or in one of the many mini-games that appears. The setup is very similar to Grand Theft Auto, as you either go on missions for various shady characters, with the main guy you’re working for being a very obvious Doc Brown pastiche from Back to the Future.

Yet, one night it unexpectedly showed up! And while I have some issues with the game, I’m quite glad it showed up.

It was on desktop (PC, Mac, and Linux!), the Vita (on cartridge too!), 3DS, Wii U (not the Wii), Xbox One, PS3 and PS4, even a demo for NES! But the new platform releases started to dry up over time, even after the DX update to the original game that brought some new features and tweaks was released. Took it long enough, eh? Brian Provinciano’s “what if Grand Theft Auto was an 8-bit game that paid homage to every classic game and notable 1980s cultural phenomenon' title had landed everywhere but mobile. Retro City Rampage DX ($4.99) finally hits iOS.
