Today's least wanted expansion: Rocketmen: It Came From Uranus

by Jem Alexander on May 3rd 2008 5:00PM

We'd be surprised if any of you reading this enjoyed Rocketmen: Axis of Evil long enough to suffer through all ten levels, but if you did then you might like to know that the game is getting an expansion pack. That's right, more camera issues, bad animation and boring gameplay are heading your way. And you have to pay for it.

Rocketmen: It Came From Uranus (yes, very clever) will be available from the American PSN Store on May 15th and will cost you $4.95. In exchange for that you receive three new levels of gameplay (if you can call it that) and five new weapons; three primary and two secondary. You must have Rocketmen: Axis of Evil in order to play It Came From Uranus and can play the new levels with your old character. As you can probably tell, we're not particularly fond of Rocketmen. You can find out why in our review.

Lol.

My 5-year old enjoys playing it with me, and it's something we can do together (there aren't enough offline multiplayer games on the PS3 yet). She'll love it that there are more levels coming. For $5, that should hold us until Monster Madness, which looks like it will be an improvement from Rocketman. For all the negativity surrounding this game, I've enjoyed playing it with my daughter, so it was worth the money for me. I just wish there were more offline multiplayer games available!

Star Wars Lego The Complete Saga would be good if you haven tried that. Endless hours of gameplay.

*multiplayer gameplay

I'll be a man and say it. I like Rocketmen. Sure, the camera blows, and the cutscenes are lifeless, but they're at least funny, and i love the gameplay. I'll go crawl into my corner now.

Thanks for the recommendation, Matt, that one slipped past me somehow--I'll look it up. She loves legos, so that should be a hit.

Punisher, I'm glad I'm not the only one that enjoyed the slightly tongue-in-cheek humor in Rocketman. I've enjoyed playing it, too. It's no masterpiece, but it is fun if you give it a chance.

I couldn't deal with the camera, the awful and tedious dialog in the cutscenes, the bad graphics, the way the game shoves you forward forcing you to miss items and powerups, etc. etc. I guess it's a kids game or something.

The demo sure did seem like shovelware though. After you complete it, it asks you to buy it, and the Yes/No for purchase are reversed to trick you into visiting the PSN. Ghetto.

Not everyday you get to read rocketman came and uranus in the same sentance.

not only is the "your anus" joke somewhat cheesy, the planet in the background is Saturn. Look it up, rocketmen developers!
