  1. The gameplay is challenging and enjoyable and I would spend 1200 MS points in a heartbeat for Rocket Knight.
  2. 85
    The big take away is that Rocket Knight is still a viable franchise in 2010 as it was in 1993 thanks to beautiful visuals, fun gameplay and a healthy dose of variety.
  3. Rocket Knight is a solid revival of a classic Genesis franchise, but it suffers from a tragically short lifespan and high price tag.
  4. As entertaining as Rocket Knight’s jetpack mechanics and gameplay are, the whole experience still winds up feeling pretty standard.

    A fun game but a little pricey.
