Crime Boss: Rockay City

Let's get it out of the way early... yes there are similarities to Grand Theft Auto... but Crime Boss Rockay City is it's own beast!

Crime Boss: Rockay City is a pleasant surprise considering all of the aspects that make its foundations usually crumble from the weight. Just get ready to die, try and die again until you take the throne.

Crime Boss: Rockay City is a star-studded co-op organized crime game FPS set in the seedy underbelly of '90s Florida.

INGAME STUDIOS should be commended for trying something different as they've previously worked on the Mafia series amongst other titles. The Rogue-like gameplay doesn't work that well here due to the repetition of the game, even though things can turn out different in every playthrough. That's more related to the story and not necessarily the process to get there. Each session is quick and it just stacks on top of each other. It's good to see a good amount of people online playing the game and the experience works in terms of actual connectivity and a lack of any lag. The main issue online is ...

It’s enormously frustrating when a game is mismarketed. It’s also enormously frustrating when you really can’t talk about a game on its own terms without talking about another.

The Game Awards might not exactly be the most enticing awards ceremony, but we’re always graced with some weird yet amusing titles that pop up from out of nowhere. How amused was I once I saw an ultraviolent game set in the 90s, starring people like Michael Madsen, Kim Basinger, Michael Rooker, Danny Glover, and Chuck Norris? Sure, the last one was odd, because the meme has died out decades ago, but damn, what a bizarre premise. Crime Boss: Rockay City looked like a hidden gem in the making...

Overall, Crime Boss: Rockay City offers so many conceptually interesting gameplay mechanics that could work well together, but either doesn't give the player enough opportunities to use them, or fails to tie them into other aspects of the game. There is some minor depth to the game, but it's overshadowed by what could have been. On top of that, too many elements feel like they’re out of the players hands, and lead to cheap deaths. If you simply need to play Crime Boss: Rockay City, then you’ll be pleased to hear that it’s only $40, and even less if you wait for a sale.

Crime Boss: Rockay City has some potential but lack of polish across the board combined with repetitive gameplay does more harm than its poorly included celebrity cast could ever help.

I really wanted to like Crime Boss: Rockay City, but it just feels like it was haphazardly thrown together, and the result is a game that feels like a bad copy of a popular franchise, with the tired actors, awful dialogue and repetitive gameplay really putting the boot in.

Though Ingame Studios' post-launch support deserves some recognition, Auction House sure as hell isn't worth its opening bid.In an age of multiplayer titles getting axed mere weeks after launch (Luna Abyss, Concord), a potential wave of studio closures [...]

Crime Boss: Rockay City is a star-studded shambles, a dull and basic co-op shooter that's the very definition of all mouth and no trousers. Desperate attempts to dazzle with Hollywood movie stars, and an admittedly sweet soundtrack, they can't long hide the fact that the actual gameplay here; the shooting, the heists, the campaign and co-op action are janky, dated and bland beyond belief. If you're looking for a co-op shooter, we suggest you play literally any other game you can get your hands on, because what's here is a cynical and almost staggeringly poor mess.
