Rad Rodgers: World One

As for whether or not you should grab Rad Rodgers: World One, I’d say give it a go. It may not be the second coming of retro gaming or an outright classic, but it does still have the potential. If Interceptor Entertainment can make this a success, I have a feeling that the eventual World Two and beyond will iron out all of the bugs and turn this adventure into a must play for old-school fans.

Rad Rodgers: World One is a nicely crafted platform game that blends together features taken from the best platform games from the past, ranging from Super Mario Bros. to Donkey Kong Country. With its humorous writing, nice level design, smooth gameplay and multiple references to classic games, Rad Rodgers: World One is a title that fans of the genre will surely enjoy, despite its lack of true innovation, short length and some performance issues on less powerful system configurations.

Rad Rodgers: Volume One is a short, but sweet platforming romp. Its high-octane action provides plenty of thrills, while its graphical design manages to both amaze and annoy. Some dangerous parts of the levels blend too well into the regular parts of the world, leading to needless damage. Fortunately, the forgiving difficulty levels make this something that can be worked around to some degree.
