Rocketbirds is a platformer which, as a genre, admittedly conjures images of Mario and Sonic whom, while entertaining, wouldn’t be considered particularly “cool” by many people. But don’t be fooled; the platformer genre isn’t your dad’s Super Mario Bros. anymore. Gone are the days of simply jumping from block to block, trying to evade piranha plants and goombas; instead, the platformer has evolved to include such genre-bending titles like Shadow Complex, Outland and BloodRayne: Betrayal, all critical successes and all platformers that have taken the genre somewhere Mario never would have dreamt.

As you can see from this screenshot alone, this game is both gorgeous and hilarious. |
If this game has taught me anything it’s that penguins are going to take over the world. We have been warned! |
Great review, Nick!
You've managed to make me want a game I just don't have the time for. Brilliant 😛
