DESCRIPTION

Hickston, U.S.A. is the setting for Redneck Rampage, a tongue-in-tobacco-wadded-cheek shooter that features 14 levels of barnyard and backwoods mayhem in a world besieged by aliens, mutants, and eccentric locals. Hostile entities include deadly mosquitoes, chickens (target practice), cows, pigs, Turd Minions (alien fecal matter come alive), alien hulk guards, and vixens. Adding to the challenge are dozens of alien-induced clones of Billy Ray Jeter (an inbred mountain man), the urban-legendary Skinny Old Coot, and Sheriff Hobbes, the county lawman.

Players keep their health at tolerable levels by downing CowPies and pork rinds while swilling beer and whiskey. Equipment includes offbeat items such as hip waders, a vacuum hose, welding goggles, keys, and moonshine (stomach-settling staple), and the arsenal features a crowbar, .454 Casull pistol, rifle, shotgun, dynamite, crossbow, rip saw, alien arm gun, powder keg, and a mystery weapon. Two scales (Drunkometer and Gutometer), each with four levels of effectiveness, are used in measuring the player's health.

Redneck Rampage contains colorful language (a "cuss pack" is available separately) and a soundtrack featuring The Reverend Horton Heat, Cement Pond, and Mojo Nixon. Multiplayer action includes deathmatch action for up to eight players. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide
