It took me 198 hours to complete the game and get all of the acheivements.

After that, it rewarded 5000 gold (over $100 worth of gold if I bought microtransactions) if I hard reset and restart.

I restarted and blew all that Gold on upgrades.

I procceded to finish the game, and I finished it in under 3 hours.

Damnit.

I should have bought the microtransactions.

So, I'll get this out of the way- I LOVED this. So why do I not recomend this game? It's because this is a mod... a PAID for mod. I would understand $1 or even $1.50, but 5 bucks for such a short game. Luckly I got this on sale, but even then, I only got it because I liked the idea of it; being able to spray gel everywhere is a good idea, but honestly, it's not worth the money. You can get Portal Stories: Mel, a game with better voice acting, atmosphere and puzzles, for FREE.


In the end, DO NOT buy this game -*AHEM* - mod unless it goes on sale, and even then, think twice, because it doesn't even have much to offer.

So, Rocket Leauge... I must say that I usually don't like online multiplayer based games,they're usually laggy, filled with brats, and generally not fun to play (take this with a grain of salt, though, since I am essentially playing on a potato).

Rocket Leauge is different, though.

While, yes, the game is designed to be played online, it doesn't seem like you're online all of the time.

The soundtrack is great, not my kind of music, but it could be worse.

The visuals are great! And I'm not talking about the high-quality graphics either, I have to play on performance so my game runs better, but even then, they are better than most games that I have seen anywhere else.

The gameplay is something else. the controls are great, even though I don't have a controller, and it's easy to pick up the basics. Once you got the controls down, anything can happen.

If I have one complaint about this game, it's that the matchmaking isn't the best. My "rank" is 20, semi-pro, but I'm still only a beginner, and I get pitted against pros, in which my team always loses. Also, I feel like I keep on facing against bots, because 3 people with the same username appear on the opposing team and kick the crap out of me.

In the end, however, I belive that everyone should play Rocket Leauge, so if you don't have it, buy it. Now.

What are you still reading this for? BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!

Start game, hears '90s style music, immediately quit the game.
Read reviews, find out it was started in the '90s, restart the game.
Load game, click new game, immediately try to build a road.
Mess around with the pop-up menus for 20 minutes, find a road, build roads.
Build a train track, build stations, wonder why the hell there are no trains.
Find a train depot, facepalm, build train depot.
See train going down the track, jump for joy, find out it isn't going anywhere due to scheduling problems.
Realise I haven't done anything in the last half hour, realise I'm confused as all hell, leave the game.
3 hours later... finally have an idea what I'm doing

10/10 would be confused again.

It's actually a great game if you take the time to learn it, and it's free, so you should give it a try.
