Redneck Rampage

Summary: Crude and Rude
Review: crude, and lowclass not entertainment, the language is horrable, I must say I like games with some violence and cursing, but this one goes over the edge a little. I did not find it entertaining.

Summary: Did not like this one
Review: Did not like this one, it is a cheap copy of Duke Nukem 3d. I think it is a bad copy of it. If you want real fun buy by Duke Nukem instead of this one. I think that the comedy is in the game is crude and stupid.

Summary: Almost as fun as a roll in the hay with Daisy Mae
Review: Having just had the chance to reacquaint myself with Redneck Rampage for the first time in several years (yes, it is possible to play the game in Windows XP - but I'll get to that), I found it just as much fun as ever. This game never got its proper due, mainly due to the subject matter and such overshadowing contemporaries as Quake and Duke Nukem back in the mid-90s, but it is impressive on just about every level: gameplay, graphics, music, sound, and humor. The game was built using the Duke Nukem 3D engine, and this allows for plenty of entertaining interaction with the gaming environment; the level of detail is obviously lacking when judged by today's standards, but this remains a vivid, fun, quirky, and complex world to play in. All kinds of sound effects further add to the game's special charm, especially the phrases and exclamations your redneck hero mutters from time to time (all of which are not perfectly suitable for youngsters - thus, a parental lock feature allows you to take some of the redneck out of the redneck).

You play Leonard, and you're not happy. Gosh-durn aliens have landed right here in Hicksville, and they are cloning regular folks like Billy Ray left and right; that's bad enough, but now they've really gone too far - those alien scumbags have gone and stolen your fav-o-rite pig. It's time for them to pay; your pal Bubba is a little soft in the head (and the fact that you whack him upside the head with your crowbar to end each level isn't helping him any in the brains department), so it's up to you to show these aliens who's boss in these parts. You fight your way through fourteen intricate levels which take you all over town (junkyard, drive-inn, sewers, smelting plant, chicken processing plant, mortuary, etc.) facing a cast of bad guys including Skinny Old Coots, the aforementioned good-ole-boy Billy Ray clones, that pesky, sharp-shootin' sheriff Lester T. Hobbs, and annoying alien critters as those nasty, slippery Turd Minions, alien Hulks, and the curvy but ultra-deadly alien Vixens. You start out with your trusty crowbar, but you can find all sorts of nice implements with which to make your point: shotgun, huntin' rifle, dynamite, crossbow, ripsaw blade shooter, and - if'n you kill an alien hulk, a loaded alien space gun.

Don't go looking for any of those fancy medical kits to take care of your deteriorating health; you survive by munching cow pies, drinking beer and liquor, and - when it's true rampage time - homemade moonshine. Too much liquor makes you drunk as a skunk, and too many cow pies slow you down. The game is more challenging than you might expect, too. If you're as bad a gamer as I am, you will likely find yourself wandering back and forth all over a given level looking for that last darn key you need; the good news, though, is that all but a couple of the secrets you need to find are at least intuitive. Even when you're stuck, you can enjoy the music that drives this game forward; it includes foot-stompin' tracks from the likes of the Reverend Horton Heat and Mojo Nixon. This is just good old entertainment with no redeeming quality whatsoever.

I do want to let folks know that this game will run on Windows XP. You'll need to get hold of a couple of files, which you can find online (look up Bertram's Lair to find a tutorial for running the game on XP), and there's a certain way you need to start the game, but there's really very little to it - and the game runs like a charm.

Summary: A hilarious and challenging game
Review: Read the full-length Amazon review above, it's pretty spot-on. This really is an extremely funny game -- and if you don't want the increasingly challenging levels to get in the way of the laughs, it's well worth getting the cheats from fan sites you can link to at Interplay's homepage. Thoroughly recommended.

Summary: It wouldnt work
Review: This game is very good. It is loaded with awesome weapons and leavels, the graphics are pretty good, and it is pretty funny. Some parts are acually somewhat realistic. For example, If you drink to much bear to raise your life you become drunk. It becomes hard the shoot and control the guy. It is a cool game
