Rango: The Videogame is a light-hearted game that younger players or fans of the hit movie will enjoy. Gameplay feels like the traditional 3D character platformers and varies from rail grinding sequences, riding roadrunners and bats, simple puzzle challenges, and some side-scrolling areas. The overall length of the game is just around five to six hours for a single playthrough and the game isn’t too difficult. The replay value may be somewhat limited, but is in maxing out Rango’s power-ups. Gamers will appreciate a few levels, including an imaginative 8-bit level.
