Whoopy World was finished. The high-tech theme-park would be opening tomorrow. How much Rocket, the maintenance robot, wanted to go and see it he could not even tell, but the professor barely noticed. Then it happened. Jojo the raccoon, sick of playing second banana to the insipid Whoopy the walrus, stole all of the tokens, tickets, and Whoopy. There was no time to tell anybody, Rocket had to go and stop Jojo alone.

Rocket: Robot on Wheels is a 3D platformer like no other. It features 8 vehicles in 6 worlds all in unscripted, realtime physics. As Rocket you have to go through the worlds collecting (suddenly a dirty word) tokens and tickets and fixing machines to get the park up and running again. The vehicles are everything from a customizable roller-coaster to a paintball tank that allows you to paint the town red, or any other color you choose. In standard platformer fashion, tickets are hidden in out-of reach places or held by characters who give them to you, after you beat them at their own game. The realtime physics engine makes it even more interesting with objects actually tumbling and falling like they would in real life.

Jeu méconnu, sous-vendu, sous-coté de la ludothèque N64.

 

Rocket: Robot on Wheels est un titre dans la lignée de Super Mario 64 et Banjo-Kazooie : il mixe de la plateforme et des puzzles dans des niveaux ouverts.

 

Rocket n'a pas d’une palette de mouvements aussi riche que Mario, et son leveldesign est un cran en-dessous. Mais il dispose bel et bien de mécaniques intéressantes. À commencer par un faisceau qui lui permet d'attraper, manipuler, lancer des objets. Le moteur physique est inhabituellement avancé pour l'époque. Par exemple, vous allez attraper un mouton et le lancer sur une plante collante pour ensuite vous servir dudit mouton comme plateforme.

 

C'est le premier jeu du studio américain Sucker Punch, qui se fera mieux connaitre par la suite avec Sly Cooper (PS2), Infamous (PS3-PS4) Ghost of Tsushima (PS4), Ghost of Yotei (PS5)
