Rocket Knight

[ThirdMarioBro]

I know we're all lost in the world of magical Mario glory, but has anybody taken the opportunity to pick up Rocket Knight on XBLA or PSN? Its a sequel to the Rocket Knight Adventures series from Genesis and SNES, and its bloody brilliant. Revivals this loving don't come along often. The gameplay is untainted Rocket Knight Adventures, and story pays homage to the passage of time with Sparkster having to pick up his jetpac for the first time in 15 years, making little slight stabs at the industry for abandoning mascot heroes in favor of apathetic emo kids and space marines. The music is fantastic as well.

This game is amazing. Its just the right length, and hits the spot. God, I'm loving this platformer revival.

I don't have any of the newer consoles, but I foundly remember Sparkster's adventures on the Genesis and SNES. Cool gameplay and some impressive boss fights.

I just got to play the demo last night.

It's been a long time, Sparkster. Welcome back.
