    Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a game that has a lot going for it. Engaging game play, tight controls, and a kicking sound track make for a great experience. Lack of narrative pulls it down, but not enough to diminish the time spent with it. For a $9.99 price point, I would gladly recommend HBC and his gun-toting craziness to a gamer looking for some cheap, yet well produced dumb fun.

    Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is an interesting, addictive and funny platformer.

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience; unfortunately, the game itself isn't very thorough.

  1. Let me say that it was astonishing and an enjoyment to play Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken since it’s a game with action, a bit of humor and a philosophy behind the story by using metaphors describing war in its nature. The game is fantastic as regards to how the environment around you moves with good cinematics. The storyline was great and one of my favourite is the song by New World Revolution, Illuminate Me. This song should be awarded one of the best songs to be added to a videogame. All this for a price of 7.99 euros, it’s a bargain and worth playing. Expand
