Description official descriptions
Redneck Rampage is a pseudo-3D first person shooter much like Duke Nukem 3D, with 2D sprites for enemies and other objects. In fact, it uses the same Build engine as Duke Nukem 3D.
Redneck Rampage also has a singularly unique setting... instead of taking place in an alien installation or secret government facility, the game is set in the backwater small town of Hickston, Arkansas.
It seems that a bunch of tabloid leather-fetish cyborg aliens have abducted the town's stereotypical redneck inhabitants and cloned them. The aliens have also abducted Bessie, the prize pig of brothers Leonard and Bubba. As Leonard you'll have to fight the local yokel clones as well as the aliens throughout Hickston to rescue your pig.
The 'Redneck' theme is used very heavily. Levels range from trailer parks to chicken processing plants, and the arsenal of odd weapons include a gun that shoots circular saws, a TNT crossbow, and even a machine gun bra. Also, instead of armor and health kits, you restore health and become tougher by drinking whisky and eating pork rinds. But if you drink too much you go into "drunk mode" with blurred vision and stumbling movement.

A FPS with a dark sense of humor
The Good
It made fun of all the southern redneck stereotypes. Somebody on the game design team must have lived in the south...
It was fun listening to the bad guys (aliens), saying "git off my land", before they started shooting at you. Then there was the pickup truck, constantly running over the chickens. Chickens running loose everywhere, in fact. And barefoot dudes shooting at you.
Drinking cheap-ass whiskey, beer, and moon pies for power-ups. Pretty creative! It was always funny to smack the dude with the crowbar to end a level
The Bad
I didn't get too far into the game because the secrets were difficult to figure out. I never went back to redneck rampage because better FPS games arrived with superior graphics and fewer secrets.
The Bottom Line
A funny FPS based on southern stereotypes. About what one would expect from a Build-engine based game (for other stereotype Build-engine games, see Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem 3D)
DOS · by ex_navynuke! (42) · 2005
Crap.
The Good
Nothing. Nothing at all. It's got Duke's engine, and that's a bad thing to begin with, what with Quake, which already existed, and Quake 2 coming that very year.
The Bad
Completely horrible engine -- looks worse than it does in Duke and terribly slow. Bad graphics, worse sound effects and apparent lack of music don't add much to the already pointless no-fun gameplay.
And the redneck theme isn't very funny, unless your American (and that's arguable as well).
The Bottom Line
A horrible game. Get it just to see how bad it really is, then throw it away.

Just an OK Shooter
The Good
OK, the premise of this game is funny. Growing up in the deep south, I could appreciate the redneck humor here. So the drinking and eating pork rinds for health was pretty funny (as was getting drunk).
The Bad
The humor wears off after a while. Once the game stopped being funny to me, I no longer found the desire to play it and haven't touched it since.
The Bottom Line
Ultimately this is a 1st-person shooter game with some redneck humor that gets old after a while.

Trivia
Redneck Rampage is worth rescuing from the bum bin for the 8 song hoot & Holler soundtrack (that can be played in any standard CD player)
