Rocket Power: Beach Bandits
In Rocket Power: Beach Bandits summer is just around the corner, and the kids from Ocean Shores look forward to the Annual Ocean Shores Surf Contest. But as Otto, Reggie, Twister, and Sam finally reach the beach, they make a startling discovery--most of the sand is missing, and the surf contest has been postponed. Now it's up to you to guide the kids through Ocean Shores, The Lakes, The Robot Factory, and Mondo Mountain in the effort to discover who stole the sand. In each area, you'll battle robot minions, use the new wave runner and zip-line glide, and play extreme sports, such as skateboarding and inline skating.

4.0-6029 | Windows 8.1 | Intel Core i5 3210M @ 2.5Ghz | NVIDIA GeForce 610M | About half normal NTSC-U frame rate with D3D as the backend. Noticed that if the window goes out of focus (like if you click something on your taskbar), frame rate is restored to normal. Can't play the game out of focus. Restoring focus to the window brings back the halved frame rate. | Wildgoosespeeder |
