To quote the video review: “If Red Hot Rumble was offered at a discounted price, there would be no problem in recommending it. But for the actual amount of enjoyment it provides, combined with the amount of time you’ll be clutching your eyeballs in pain, it’s probably best to just let Red Hot Rumble cool off.”
