Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Жуя Hubba Bubba включил MTV, по которому идет Samurai Jack, а за ним PowerPuff Girls. Решил сыграть в новенькую Tony Hawk American Wasteland на своей PlayStation 2. Съел йогурт скелетоны, закусив скиттлз. Получил MMS на свой Motorola Razr V3 И включил Sony Walkman, послушать немного Gorillaz

They told me for months this game "controls as bad as Jet Set Radio" and that is an outright lie, this game feels GREAT and it has THE JUICE

This game ruined my nostalgia for Jet Set Radio. In comparison to BRC, the controls are borderline unusable in JSR. Don't believe me? 100% BRC and get used to this game, then go back and try to play JSR. You'll suddenly see all of the problems with the initial design. This isn't to crap on JSR - it's a treasure from a different time, but BRC has found a means to replace it entirely in my heart. BRC is everything a modern JSR should be. I only have a few minor complaints: 1. Don't make me skate all the way to taxi spots to go back to the hideout. Mataan specifically is ridiculous. It's huge and there's 1 taxi spot. Make it so that I can press start and go back or something. I like playing the game, but the routes are also rather reductive/limited so skating the exact same line multiple times when achievement hunting or whatever is mind-numbing. 2. Make the controller's camera sensitivity cap higher. It's pretty frustrating how slow the camera is at its maxed out sensitivity. I'm not switching to keyboard and mouse just so that I don't have to fight the camera. All I need is a higher sens value. That's basically nothing to ask. Come on. 3. Needs more interesting locations and routing options. Open up more than 1 route to any given location. More billboards, more rails, more traversal - this is especially important in sprawling and vertical maps like Pyramid Hill or Mataan where you have 1 path to get to important features making the back-and-forth of it as you discover things rather boring. 4. For longevity, I wish the game had multiplayer and workshop capability. Allow users to make areas with in-game assets and the game would become infinitely playable. Could make some really impressive/weird movement maps and challenges this way. Ultimately, this game is still a 9/10 improvement on JSR's dated design.

You like skating, extreme sports, cell shaded graphics, funky music, old Sega games, bizarre settings, robots, graffiti, going fast, jumping high, fighting cops, looking cool, or all of the above? Play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

I am a fan of Team Reptile, and I like the fact they continue to operate in this fairly coherent, recognizable aesthetic across their games. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is cool. It has a banger soundtrack, fun characters Team Reptile's, at this stage iconic, look. It has just enough world building to be interesting. Unfortunately the game also feels like it plays it extremely loose and hinges too much on aforementioned aesthetic. The design of the game ultimately feels like it doesn't "go" anywhere; there is nothing to solve, nothing to optimize, nothing to explore. All areas feel virtually the same. This is all almost entirely by virtue of the way the mechanics are laid out. In order to understand what I mean by this I first need to explain the central premise in BRC: comboing. This is fairly straightforward if you are familiar with virtually any skating game: keeping "momentum" (whatever that may constitute) allows the player to perform tricks to increase the scoremeter. In BRC it is simply being in the air, doing a wall-ride or grinding that keeps said momentum. So what is the issue? It seems to operate on a fairly well established formula. The primary issue can be summed up in one mechanic: manual grinding. Pressing a single button allows the player to grind even when there is no rail available. This grind will eventually run out due to losing velocity, but is extremely generous and can be infinitely extended with minimal effort. This immediately flattens the entire game to being trivially solvable: all combos are infinite given enough time. All "skating puzzles" are solved by pressing this simple button. There are effectively no resources routes to explore. Just press manual grind and win. This is further compounded by the very weird implementation of the boost meter, which, for some unexplicable reason, operates under a persistent resource. This means boost is NOT integrated into routes in the map: it comes down to whether you picked up the appropriate "boost item" beforehand. Together this culminates in every map being virtually the same thing in terms of what the geometry can meaningfully express, and it is a little embarrassing when you come to realize it. The game also feels very clunky in areas that just don't make sense for it to be clunky in. Movement itself seems to be based on velocity: the vector you commit to can be changed, but it's not an instantaneous directional change. Perfectly fine: this is what you would expect from almost any movement centric game. However, the "dash" does not play by these rules. It instead sets your velocity to a fix value aimed directly at one of eight possible directions (assuming keyboard; I don't know if it is better on a controller). This dash is mandatory for a lot of jumps. The result is that it feels awful to use and regularly causes what-should-be smooth traversal to finicky trial-and-error "try to align the direction properly". It is a baffling design choice to not integrate this better into the velocity based movement outside of it especially as the boost actually is. Overall I am pretty underwhelmed by this title. Not because it isn't well-made, but rather because it doesn't really adhere to the general "neatness" of Team Reptile's other works. It feels loose and underdesigned, relying more on vibes than clever design. Recommended for <20EUR, but certainly not at the ridiculous base price of 40.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk absolutely nails the Jet Set Radio energy I've been craving for years — the movement feels incredible once it clicks, and I found myself grinding rails and chaining combos just for the sheer joy of it long after the story was done. The soundtrack is a genuine banger, the cel-shaded visuals are stunning, and the whole package has this rare quality where every element just fits together perfectly. That said, the trick system is pretty shallow with only three moves per gear type, and the skateboard, rollerblades, and BMX all handle nearly identically, which does take some of the shine off. The police system is more decoration than threat, but honestly the core loop of tagging the city while vibing to the OST is so satisfying that I kept coming back anyway. If you have any love for JSR or just want a stylish, feel-good game, grab it — preferably on sale, but it's worth it either way.
