Country Justice: Revenge of the Rednecks is a 2005 first-person shooter video game co-developed by Silverfish Studios and 3Romans, and published by ValuSoft.

Why It Doesn't Serve Justice At All

1. Right off the bat, the game is clearly a ripoff of Redneck Rampage, using similar ideas like the dynamite crossbow and a similar premise of an animal being stolen and you have to rescue it, even the cover art looks exactly the same as that game
2. An absurd amount of bugs, glitches and technical issues such as:
   • One glitch that prevents most people from finishing the last level, making the game unbeatable for many people.
   • The game will crash to the desktop when running at higher settings, making this game running on modern systems a chore.
3. The game is really unfunny and is offensive to people who live in the South.
4. Extremely long loading times: especially, the opening loading screen that can take up to 2 minutes to load.
5. Awful and outdated graphics by 2005 standards that looks straight out of a late 90s N64 and PS1 game, other games like F.E.A.R., SWAT 4, Call of Duty 2, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, Medal of Honor: European Assault, Far Cry: Instincts, Battlefield 2, Quake 4, Serious Sam 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Vietcong 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Boiling Point: Road to Hell and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth were released in the same year and they all look a hundred miles better than this.
   • It doesn't help that it uses the RenderWare engine, the same engine used for Cold Winter, Cold Fear, Madagascar: Video Game, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Burnout series, Commandos: Strike Force, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Tony Hawk series, Killer 7, most of Rockstar Games released in the 2000s and Darkwatch, and again they look miles better.
6. Incredibly bad voice acting, mostly notable for the main character who does an unfunny Elvis impersonation.
7. Terrible gunplay, with limp sound effects and laughably poor gun models.
   • The hit detection is also inconsistent as the humans and zombies can be killed with one shot, but mutant animals can take up to a dozen shots to kill.
8. Extremely short campaign that can be finished in 1–2 hours (as long as you don't run into the aforementioned glitches, that is).
9. Both of the vehicles have horrendous handling. The truck will oftentimes get stuck, forcing the player to restart certain bits. The boat controls even worse, handling like a sentient soap bar with slow response times.
   • It's even worse because the camera is always pointed up which makes seeing stuff completely impossible.
10. The physics is non-existent as you can't even run over cows or other animals.
11. You can collect and drink moonshine like in Redneck Rampage, but its only use is to make Earl run a little faster, which makes these collectibles totally useless.
12. The soundtrack is painfully generic and the sound quality is very low quality.
13. The story is uninspired, makes little sense, and is devoid of tension or anything else that might make a normal player invested.
14. The final boss if you can call it a boss is a cookie-cutter Mad Scientist villain with no real motivations other than wanting to rule the world because the writers said so. Also, he can be killed in one shot.
15. After completing the main campaign, the game "rewards" you with three lines of text that are too bunched together to be legible within the mere seconds they appear on the screen. If you can read the text, you'll find out that you now have god mode. This presents a couple of issues:
    • There really isn't that much to do in this game after you've finished it; there's no real replay value to speak of.
    • Although there are mini-games, they are either bland, unfun, or plagued by the aforementioned glitches.
