However, with more of a 16-bit aesthetic than its 8-bit-flecked predecessor, Shakedown offers a large, supposedly Hawaiian, city that is stuffed with things to do, businesses to threaten, and weird mini-games to engage in. Fundamentally, the game is the same as far as driving around and shooting things goes. Shakedown: Hawaii is a slightly different beast. Vblank's Retro City Rampage, released a terrifying seven years ago now, was the proverbial cult hit - a GTA-inspired slice of top-down drivin' n' shootin' lunacy, riven through with more pop culture references than you could wave a sonic screwdriver at.ĭo you see? Do you see what I did? I made a pop culture reference.

I found out that leprosy used to be a bit of a thing there, snakes and billboards are banned, and the island of Oahu boasts the largest "pineapple maze" in the world.

I mean, why would I have been? It's really far away. Shakedown: Hawaii, the sort-of-sequel to Retro City Rampage, is also available for the PS Vita.

Vblank promises that it will support both the original 3DS and the 'New' variant, though - good news for anybody still rocking Nintendo's previous handheld.

Taking control of three characters, you'll be shaping the neighbourhood to your liking as you build a corporation using a wide variety of underhanded (and usually ridiculously violent) tactics.
