On paper this sounds okay, except that the minute-to-minute game play is tedious, buggy and repetitive. When Baker dies, you are kicked right back to the start of the campaign with nothing but the boss upgrades you earned for yourself and your entourage. I say bizarre because it really doesn’t fit the game style. This sees Travis Baker try to rise to the top of the Rockay crime world, battling against rival gangs and a determined Sheriff Norris in a bizzare roguelike adventure. It’s obvious they wanted that mid nineties crime flick vibe, but they missed the mark and didn’t update it for a modern audience.Ī lot of this dialogue comes in the first of the three modes on offer: Baker’s Battle. The dialogue is lazy and sometimes offensive. The icing on the cake is Kahn’s gang often being referred to as just the “Asian gang” or “savages”. Once again, it felt a little out of time for modern days audiences and a little cringe overall. In one scene, Vanilla Ice and one of his crew are repteated telling one of his groupies to “shut up, bitch” every time she interjects. It’s cute at first but after the fiftieth time, I was like, “yeah we get it, you like football!” This, on top of the non-stop child-like banter really grated on me after a while and I ended hating a few of the characters, I think the main offender has to be Michael Rooker – who I adore by the way – with his character Touchdown who, you guessed it, makes a quip about American football every five minutes. Then you have Kim Basinger, Vanilla Ice and Chuck Norris to name a few, all lending their likeness and voices to their roles. Michael Madsen is the star of the show as Travis Baker, sounding gravelly as ever and looking like Madsen in his prime.
