Rango (2011)

Rango is one of those rare movie games that is actually good. Actually it's fantastic! It also doesn't require you to have seen the film or know anything about these characters. Rango is just as charming as Gex or Abe (from Oddworld) and he stars in one of the best action-platformers of this generation. If you have kids or just want to feel like one for a couple days, Rango is a must-own title.

Rango is yet another solid licensed game that obviously had some time and thought put into it.

Despite the short length and lack of overall difficulty, Rango is a good game.

Rango isn't a revolutionary action-platform release, but it is a legitimately well-made title built in the mold of the some of the genre's best, and it genuinely engaged us throughout much of the adventure. Sadly, it doesn't last for long.

Rango is a perfectly pleasant and enjoyable game that replicates the animated movie's style brilliantly. Younglings will love it to bits and won't notice its shortcomings or the fact that some of its voices sound ever-so-slightly off. Nor will they care that it's all over in the blink of an eye and there's no reason whatsoever to play it again ever.

Imperfect but surprisingly pleasant. [May 2011, p.103]

Pretty, vacant. How 18 months' development could result in a game so trite is beyond us. [May 2011, p.101]

Awesome game! So much fun going through all the whacky levels. The gameplay is tights, the visuals are beautiful the sound and music are an auditory delight. I especially loved the section where your hitting golf balls into Giant Lars face! A real treat for the whole family.

É Um jogo divertido com a temática interessante, eu mesmo não zerei esse jogo, mas só pelas primeiras fazes já posso dizer que foi um dos mais divertidos que eu já joguei, é também é ótimo pra fazer vc voltar a jogar videogame com animo. (Achei meio zuado que não dá pra deixar a legenda em pr-br, é também eu não zerei ele ainda)

A fun movie game with fair personality, movesets/level design suitable for the animals/small scale character approach, fair upgrades. It has a fair amount of chapters, levels with small scale and you climb on staples, have human scale objects in the world, a fair mix of platforming, the grind rails to avoid sobracles range from simple like Ratchet to a bit more conplex (not as fast as a Scaler though). Ok scenarios (ok light stealth but nothing special). Fair weapon use but not the best aiming. Ok power ups. Bulls eye moments to direct (fit for Wii motion but inverted on sticks on PS3/360). Or spreadshots in normal combat waves. Irs a solid licenses game action adventutre game. Has probably not as much personality as the film but good enough. I was never that big on the film but the game does a good enough job as a sequel or whatever scenarios Rango tells. The movesets besides the rail grinding are typical of PS3/370 and still PS4/Xbox Oen onwards in a bland way. But less weighty and annoying as those gens. Its a fair game. O had enough fun. It didn't surprise me or anything its solid like many Behavoiur/A2M games. Decent. Its no Scaler/Wet or Jersey Devil or Monsters Inc Scare Island from them or even other AA devs but its decent enough ti a Monsters Inc Scare Island level but for Rango. Just less exciting ideas this rime around. Just easy to understand guns/platforning any h7man coyld. I get they are talking animals but the movesets are pretty basic. I have seen better in PS1/2 era games human like and cartoony or otherwise and certainly from animals not bland like nowadays. There isn't a lot to say. Fair western/desert or scrapy locations. Fair inside/outside. Not much else to say. It functions. It fits the universe but its just solid. Not exciting just good enough in every way. Gaemlaly is finctional. Plays well. But basic song and dance like many gamss these days prher rhen odd gameplay fiest exceptions rhat arw rare due to bland story/worlds and movesets of modern era. Yes I would rather still play a Rango (hence why reviewing it/playing thr story levels/whatever collecibles to minr/hit thr fish bowl can find in levels, ulgrades to purchase (none I care about but tackle enough of the core of the game, just nothing exciting just standard stuff of what thr game offers very little but tweaks ghem slightest, barely noticed so I did it to grt dmrid of sheriff badges not becaude I cared for the benefits. Like many skill ttees, get it over with, not care about stats/numbers and sometimed a no upgrades playthrough and still barely noticr a diffrrence) and not the other bland games out there Indie safe in some genres besides the great Indies in other genres or bland AAA and sadly AA rhese days). The game is solid. Not a lot to say about it. Its probably on the better end of Behaviour/A2M licensed games like Brave movie game I also beat and enjoyed in a solid game way, not amazing but good enough (not Brave Spirit Dancer) or Monsters Inc Scare Island. So if looking for something solid gicr it a go.

Nothing exceptional, while fun this game does not range outside the bounders of standard. If you are a fan of the movie you will smile and have similar feelings. Just do not expect to be WOWed in any way.

Honestly, the game is bad. Let's be honest for a second, the game is hard and not the most manageable. Which is a huge disappointment, because I loved the film when my dad showed it to me. Rango was funny and endearing, whereas here the characters are more like emotionless shells.
