Rocket Riot is a fast-paced, side-view action game that uses cel-shaded graphics to spice up an otherwise retro homage to classic 8-bit titles. Players take control of a jetpack-powered hero character, using missiles to blast through 80 fully destructible levels on the hunt for a legless pirate named Blockbeard. The destructible environments conceal a number of power-ups and weapons, and each level offers a different objective, with some stages requiring players to kill a certain number of enemies, while other levels simply ask gamers to find a hidden item. Local multiplayer options let up to four compete in split-screen action, while up to eight players can do battle online in three different game modes. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
