It's easy to spend hours with it, and just as easy to limit yourself to minutes. There are extended missions requiring slow, carefully-considered movements, and seconds-long ones that encourage the immediate roasting of as many pedestrians as possible. In fact, the game even scatters cheat codes around the city, to help you achieve the arsenal of your dreams without actually having to work for it. If you want to ignore everything entirely and go on a rocket-launcher rampage, you can do that, too. If you want to methodically work your way through the game's main objectives, you can do that. If you want to master the mini-games and collect your rewards, you can do that. Player's humourously self-serving crime spree is simply a framework upon which to hang genuine, uninterrupted fun. Nobody will laugh at everything, but everybody will laugh at something. It's a game that wants you to laugh both when someone slips on a banana peel, and then laugh again two hours after you've stopped playing it because some bit of subtle wordplay has finally clicked. While some of the jokes tend toward the laughter of recognition rather than clever observation, other comic moments - such as an early chronological paradox and intentionally nonsensical dialogue - rely on a more intelligent sort of detached meta-awareness. However once you make it through the handful of training missions, the game opens up substantially, and you can keep both the comedy and the action rolling at your own pace. The humour is thick in fact it's so thick that it can at first feel oppressive. You still take control of a protagonist simply named 'Player' and guide him through a deliberately absurd storyline that involves time travel, organised crime, gorilla robots, and lots and lots of dead bystanders. Retro City Rampage DX doesn't deviate much from the original on the surface. If you've read our review of the WiiWare game then you know more or less what to expect.
