March 10, 2008 - Mediocre - Despite Rocketmen's great visuals and its decent RPG system, the inherent faults of the game keep it from being recommendable to anybody but the most dedicated of shooter fans.
March 6, 2008 - 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.
March 5, 2008 - 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.
