    I played for around 10 hours and can say for sure that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk absolutely overhyped and overpriced. It was made mostly for JetSetRadio fans.

    cons
    From gameplay trailer was shown a lot of tricks in different locations, but sadly all of these tricks places were scripted. You haven't an opportunity to do long-time combo like in Tony Hawk, because game doesn't have mechanics for this.
    Compare to the original JetSetRadio, locations much bigger, but places where you can do combo less, a lot of free space with nothing.
    The price in $40 I can explain the big amount of licensed music, but anyway for $40 better buy AAA skatesim Tony Hawk 1+2 (brilliant skate sim).

    pros
    The style and music are excellent.

    P.S. Maybe game is just not for me. I was excited from the first till the last trailer, and even bought on day one, but was very disappointed after all.    … Expand

    Ill start with what I liked... the music? Totally fab, and it fits the vibe so well. The way you move? Super fun, like, fantastic even. And, oh my gosh, the story? It's all like, intricate and stuff, and it's got this, like, heart right on its sleeve, you know?

    But, like, let's not get too carried away. Those combat moments? Ugh, they stick around like an annoying guest who just won't    Ill start with what I liked... the music?

    But, like, let's not get too carried away. Those combat moments? Ugh, they stick around like an annoying guest who just won't leave the party. And, like, seriously, the pacing? It's like, so not my vibe, you know? It's like they're trying to be all epic but end up being a major buzzkill.

    But hey, if you're willing to, like, put on your rose-colored glasses and ignore all those, like, issues, you might just find a skating dream in there somewhere. It's, like, kinda unique, I guess. Just, like, don't say I didn't warn you about the not-so-great parts... 5/10    … Expand

    Uh, listen up folks, especially you die-hard Segaheads. So, like, if you've got these, uh, sentimental holes in your gamer soul, you know what I'm saying? Like, remember Jet Set Radio? Yeah, that classic gem that went MIA after the Xbox era? Well, guess what? There's this thing called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk that's supposed to, like, fill that void or whatever. And guess what again?

It, like, brings some new jazz to the mix too. I mean, it's like stumbling upon a long-lost Dreamcast treasure trove, and, you know, most of it's actually pretty sweet. Can you believe it? It's like those Team Reptile folks totally get the whole love thing.… Expand

    There’s no doubt that some Jet Set Radio fans hungry for more will enjoy Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I’ve been waiting for this series’ return in spirit along with the rest of them, but in the end, it did little more than inspire nostalgia for the original, gorgeous though it may be.

    Being hip is cool again. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk trades its graphical fidelity and pixel counts for excellent gameplay loop and incredible music - all wrapped up in a neat and true Jet Set Radio spiritual successor.

    And while its camera and controls are a huge improvement over its predecessors, the odd hiccup still persists. But most of the time, with the soundtrack - a mix of laidback house, hip-hop, and funk - doing its thing in the background, and the world gradually opening up to you, it's easy to fall into a pleasant trance for long stretches.
