Retro City Rampage (360): COMPLETED!

What a totally nuts game. So many ideas, parodies and play styles all thrown together, seemingly randomly, with intentionally terrible (well, great retro but terrible modern) graphics[ref]Which you can change to make look even worse!

I know you scroll from left to right, but everything attacks you from above. Anyway. It’s actually quite good too. Not so good that I went and bought the full version (I have far too many other games to play at the moment), but I may well do in the future. I did play up to the …
