Quick Look: Rocket Riot

I just might have to pick this one up! 

Thanks Jeff and Snide!  :)

Good playing, Jeff. That was a solid Quick Look.

My video stops at like the first 20 seconds. :(

Dude I hadn't even heard of this game until now. And of course, now I want a damn PSN version.

'Russian dude' xD That's a British soldier, one of the Queen's Guards like you see at Buckingham Palace

Wow, that actually looks pretty damn fun, I'm digging the semi-commodore style block graphics.

That looks so sweet. A lot of xbox arcade games I want but not enough time to play !!

Rocket AWESOME.

My video is stopping at around 5 minutes.

Dude that looks hella sweet.

Looks fun. Needs to get me some points...

im not really digging the "art" style. 

Looks fun for about five minutes.

Was looking at this for the first time it looks really fun. Will definitely give the demo a try after seeing this QL.

Dude, this looks awesome. Lot of good stuff seems to be coming out of the arcade right now.

Thanks for the quick look. I'll be picking this up in the near future because of it.

Fuckin loved the hell out of some Soldat.

Where's my skull?

Wow, Sensible Soccer was mentioned!

"Then I fought a giant flying construction worker..."

Sounds like the best boss fight ever. This game looks crazy.

looks fun. i do like faux retro games. too bad it's only for 360

man, I would pay 5 bucks for this in a heartbeat. but at 10.. I hesitate. 

molliCoolZ!!

" Looks fun for about five minutes. "

The whole quick look is choosing the character!

Yeah, this vid aint working no more

Video = busted

Fauxtro!

I'm just surprised they have this pixel art style for everything BUT the menu text and stuff. They should've gone all-out with the pixelszsszlsz.

This game looks like a riot.

multiplayer is awesome with everyone blowing up the environment.  Fun game worth the
$10 for sure

About time someone did this graphical style- I hoped Mega Man 9 would've done it before it released. But yeah  hope this ctaches on. Love it.

Go. Hunt. Kill skuls.

I bought it early today and its totally insane.  The rugby game is where its at.  Also, the rocket riot song is great.  Just listen to the very descriptive lyrics :).

someone make a retrofaux concept page

Ain't no throwing the ball over posts in rugby Jeff, all about the kicking.

That guy's a cook, that guy's got hair, that guy's an ice guy...

JEFF - GO TO THE ZOO!

Would others agree that quick looks overall are better then reviews?

Giantbomb has set a lot of new standards in many areas and new approaches that work really well to a gaming site but I was just thinking maybe a little further?

Combining Quick look with a review by doing a review sum up at the end and come up with a new name would work?

Either / Or I just get much more out of a quick look then a review video but they are too short often though. Red Faction looked amazing but very dull through the game which you get from the review. I dunnu, not the expert but Sure the guys could come up with a new formular that is even more awesome?

The music sounds awesomely C64. Mmm... SID chip.

On topic though, This game looks amazing though. Its either this of Battlefield 1943...God dammit.

Looks rad!

Not sure where the "quick" in the Quick Looks comes from.

Yes, I totally agree. Give the games they review a quick look and then end it off with the review.  "

I really enjoyed this game, so much fun and a pretty good price for it too.

Reminds me of TurboRaketti for  the amiga

This is a must buy!

That seems logical to me, they more or less review it anyways during the quick look, Jeff enjoyed it but it didn't blow his brains out with amazing depth so its probably a 4-4.5 / 5. The problem being that a quick look takes place while they are still playing the game, generally around 2/3 of the way through to get a good idea of what its all about. So they can't really give it a review because that might be unfair to the game. Generally it won't, but inevitably it will. "

anyone else think that dave sounds like the dude from the big lebowski

looks like it'd make for some fun mp.
