Mediocre - Rocketmen is a game in search of a center. The half-hearted RPG nods, quixotic story treatment and frustrating camera detract from a core of solid gameplay. The basics are there, but Rocketmen's problems overshadow the basic shoot-em-up beneath.
Good - While the game's a lot of fun, it's easy to get burned out. Enjoy Rocketmen as it was meant to be enjoyed: in short chunks.
Poor - Rocketmen fudges its enormous potential in almost every area. It's a crude and unappealing game, marred by at least three design decisions that immediately make the gameplay a grind rather than a blast.
