4.5 stars. This is a very nice an interesting concept: a pure thematic 80's RPG. There has been other games that launches 80's-themed accesories, but there has been no pure 80's setting. And this has it all: it draws from almost every major series and movies from the time, streamlining them into modern use of the genres, and giving A LOT of material to bring neon crazyness to games. The downside? I wanted MORE!!!
