This mix is wonderful and even though there are some small aspects to pick apart and criticise, like the way the in-game economy works, we'd rather not pick things apart too much because we love Shakedown: Hawaii.
It's complicated and advanced enough to keep the player occupied and challenged even though the gameplay mixes mechanics from Metal Slug and the perspective and setting from the very first GTA. This is how we'd explain the game to someone who's not familiar with the concept. Within the first few moments, it's clear that this Grand Theft Auto parody doesn't take itself seriously and that it tackles satire exceptionally well, while at the same time managing to celebrate the games of the past.
The CEO, however, doesn't sulk for long - instead, he orders his failure of a son (who also happens to be an aspiring gangster) and his right-hand man Al to help him build a business empire that's stronger and more powerful and more successful than anyone could have ever imagined. His once blooming sales-tactics and business model is now on the brink of death no-one is renting his VHS tapes anymore, physical sales are down, and issues linked to his faltering knowledge of modern technology linger around every corner. This is a fact that the CEO (which is the only title he's given) and protagonist of Vblank Entertainment's anticipated action game Shakedown: Hawaii knows all too well when the game is booted up.
