  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] Strap on your bazooka soldier, and get ready for the awesome action-packed side-view shooter Rocket Riot. In this highly stylized eight-bit era style game, blast your way through the environment against enemies or multiplayer foes online. Navigate through a completely destructible environment, uncover special power-ups, or even burrow into different areas of the map. The map regenerates, keeping the action fast-paced, but time doesn't heal all wounds. [THQ]… Expand

    A really entertaining title, and even more entertaining and funny if you play it together with friends.

    Rocket Riot is highly original, despite its simplistic design and seemingly trivial action.

    Rocket Riot is simple arcade fun candy coated with brilliant pixel art.
  4. Planet Xbox 360

    With 80, repetitive single-player missions that progressively become more difficult by simply increasing the number of enemies and the amount of damage they do, a similarly infuriating ‘Endurance’ mode that throws massive streams of enemies at the player, and a fun looking online multi-player mode that no one seems to play, Rocket Riot may be enjoyable for an occasional local multiplayer session, but little more.

    + Fun to play. + Great looking game + Fun party game to play with a couple of friends behind one tv + fast action (+/- which can result in total chaos, especially with the power-ups) +/- Bosses can be quite hard to beat (but hey most are too easy these days so maybe I got spoiled ;) - I'm guessing it will loose its edge if you have played it for a couple of weeks.… Expand
