Rocketbirds Multiplayer
There is really only one option available, co-op, which again begs something of a comparison to Contra. Except that, again, they have done something else with it. There are six Budgie Commando characters to choose from and they have differing difficulties: east, normal, hard. Each of the characters is sort of a classic war film cliche. They even have a partner assist where one commando jumps on top of the other, the bottom then jumps allowing the top one to grab a ledge and pull them both over. Creative to say the least. The Co-op is a completely different story where you have got to play through ten chapters to get the general’s daughter. It’s nice to see that it wasn’t just a re-hash of the single player story. Unfortunately, it’s only local co-op but hey, what better excuse to get a friend over for a game session right?
I wonder if they’ve put in the ability for DLC missions later? With the price of the game I would pay a couple more bucks for some more co-op action actually.
Rocketbirds: Harboiled Chicken is a brilliant game that has a lot to offer in both single player and co-op. The game is one of the eight ’only on PSN’ titles for the month and at $11.99 (20% off for Plus members) it’s a total value. It’s rated M for Mature due to violence and the file size is 433MB. The install was slow I thought but loading between levels is rather quick. No matter if you’re a fan 
of Pink Floyd, platforming shooters or puzzles you will like this game. You can even go in and re-play any of the chapters you like as many times as you like. I have a feeling I’ll be going back in to combat to pull in some of the other trophies that the game has on offer like juggling an enemy for 10 seconds, etc. This game is truly a reason to have a PS3 and I am extremely satisfied all around with the gameplay and the game experience. Even in the slightly frustrating areas of the game you learn that it’s as much about strategy as anything else, especially when multiple enemies of multiple types have to be beaten.
Did you spot the A-Team van?
