Radical Entertainment at a Glance

Radical Entertainment is a Canadian developer based in Vancouver that operated from 1992 until 2015. You will find 29 titles listed on PlayPile where they served as the developer, along with one game where they published a title. The studio released most of its work during the 2000s, when it produced 15 games. Their output in the 1990s included 10 titles, while the 2010s saw only two releases before the company stopped making original games. The company worked across many platforms, with PlayStation 2 seeing 11 of their games and PC Microsoft Windows hosting 10. They also developed for Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and PlayStation systems. Their genre focus leans heavily toward Adventure with 11 entries, followed by Platform games and Sports titles at nine each. Hack and slash or Beat 'em up games make up seven of their catalog. Quality varies significantly across their portfolio. The average rating for the 18 rated titles stands at 62.1 out of 100. This score reflects a mix where one title is great, nine are good, seven are mixed, and one is poor. Their highest rated game is The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction from 2005 with an 80.4 score. Other well-received titles include Prototype, Scarface: The World Is Yours, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, and Prototype 2. Recent releases show a decline in quality compared to their peak years. Crash: Mind Over Mutant received a 58.7 rating, while the Prototype: Biohazard Bundle sat at 67.5. Radical faced significant layoffs in 2010 and 2012. After being acquired by Vivendi Games in 2005 and then Activision in 2008, the studio eventually ceased development of original games to support other Activision studios. This shift marked the end of their ability to create new franchises on their own.
