I got pretty sick of killing the same 2 enemy types over and over again (in the first couple of levels) then searching the entire level looking for the damn key. Playing Redneck Rampage is enjoyable at first, but once you get used to the comical graphics, sound and music, you get a better look at the overall picture of things: basic guns, limited enemies, boring levels. It looks like it is time for BUILD to hang up its spurs and “bow down” to an Nukem 3D and appearing in new releases like Shadow Shooter genre in many feature games today. The BUILD engine has had a nice influence over the 3D

Setting, Redneck Rampage is unmistakably similar to every single game A clever setting with an underdeveloped story line (kill aliens that have cloned your people to save your favorite pig…wheee) and a minimal amount of enemies. It’s like some guy said, “Uhh, hey let’s make a game about a bunch of hicks with some guns, alcohol, and aliens (and guns!).” And the designer next to him replied, “What about the story?” Then the first guy said, “Umm, er…huh?.” Thus evolved the game which sits before me. The plot revolves around a town full of hicks. What makes one better than another, you ask? Well, in Redneck Rampage’s case it’s the setting. Unfortunately, not all of them can keep even your average gamer awake. There are a lot of 3D shooters out there in the world today. Go on, just take a gander at the “Hickston Hog,” a newspaper provided courtesy of Interplay, to get a feel for the outrageous new setting of this “blood-soaked 3D killing spree.” – Redneck Rampage. Although this routine may be a little too close to home for some of us, others can get a full-on experience of what it’s like to be in Hickston, the most red-neck (and fictional) city in existence.

Yup! Grab your girlfriend/cousin Billie Joe, pack your favorite whiskey, and get ready to open up a can of whoop-ass. “All the killin’, twice the humor, half the intelligence… “
