Jetpac Refuelled Mini-Review


The problem with Jetpac Refuelled is that it was a fun game when the original was released 24 years ago. It is nice they have both the enhanced and original versions of the game for 400 points, but it is still just another retro game. It still appeals to the same audience as all the previous retro games; People who are fans of the original. The updated graphics do look a lot better, but the gameplay is really repetitive. After a couple levels you’ve either got it down or you don’t. The Achievements add a little replay value as you try to do things like play levels without using weapons and beat all 128 levels, but really this game just is not that fun after a few levels. After half a dozen levels you find yourself doing the same thing over and over. Unless you’re a big fan of games from the early 80s don’t bother with this one. It is just not fun enough to play for 120+ levels.
