I have really fond memories of Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis. While I never owned the game, I had a friend growing up who had a massive collection of SNES and Sega Genesis games, and I always found myself playing Rocket Knight Adventures when I visited his house. Interestingly enough, I don’t really remember many of the details about the game other than it being a solid platformer with a fun jetpack gameplay mechanic, but hey, what better way to refamiliarize myself with the Sparkster universe than with Konami’s latest retro revival title, Rocket Knight?
Rocket Knight was recently released on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, and is intended to appeal to the nostalgia that older gamers may have for the past titles. What you have here is a pretty standard 16-bit platformer without a whole lot of bells and whistles, but I went into this title expecting just as much. With updated graphics and a soundtrack provided by Pit Stop Productions, is Rocket Knight worth your attention?
