Redneck Rampage This game is a classic "First Person Shooter" from 1997, so don't expect the latest graphics or sound effects. It's based off the "Build" game engine like "Doom", "Duke Nukem", and "Shadow Warrior". It will take a couple days to play it through for most people.
There are a few verions of this game that were sold. Some of them are only partial games, with only the first 5 or 7 episodes (out of 14). These are called the "Early Years" and "Possum Bijou" editions, there's also a version without the music soundtrack so try to get the full version with the music for the best experience!
The full retail version has a cool redneck rock and roll sound track that you can play as a CD and play in the game using the included 8 track! Artists include "The Reverend Horton Heat", "The Beat Farmers" and "Mojo Nixon"!
This game is full of crude and offensive "Redneck" humor that makes fun of "Rednecks" but not other peoples (other than space aliens!). The dude you play as (Leonard) has alot of very funny sayings! Some people may find the language and violence too harsh or crude for their children. If it's not harsh enough for you, there is a separate "Cus Pack" available that will make a sailor blush!
There were two follow-up games and one map pack, "Route 66" is a map pack for the original game. "Redneck Rampage Rides again" is a separate game with even more music, and additional weapons. "Redneck Deer Hunter" is another folloup game, which uses some of the same humor and weapons, but is a hunting game.
This game had alot of "User Maps" made for it during it's hayday, most of which are still available on the web for free, which extends its play-again value. Some of these user maps are better than the originals!
Make sure you get a version that works with your operating system as the original game runs on DOS and will only work with Windows 95 or Windows 98, (There's a different version for Mac, which may still work on a current MAC OS). There are some sellers here on eBay that include a Windows X86 DOS emulator and front loader that allow you to use this game on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. You can find DOS emulators and front loaders as free downloads on the net.Read full review
