Sep 19, 2014The gameplay remains the same, but the graphics have been upgraded to 1080p at 60 frames-per-second. But with the painful omission of custom soundtracks, there is little incentive to re-visit the game once you’ve completed it, and even less after you collect all the stars in the campaign (which will be quite a challenge nonetheless).
-
Oct 10, 2014Great concept done too often without any significant additions or improvements when compared to the previous iteration.
-
Sep 19, 2014KickBeat - Special Edition is a different offer, which aims for music lover gamers. It's an enjoyable game, although it lacks variety in its gameplay, so it will only enjoyable for a few hours. A few incredible hours.
-
Sep 19, 2014On the surface it tries to convince you it is a decent brawler with a rhythm attitude. But in the end it is only a rhythm game like any other – but a decent one.
-
Sep 18, 2014For a single play through of the story, it’s alright, but for lasting appeal, it really doesn’t have it.
-
Oct 29, 2014The combination of fighting and music can seem strange at first, but it actually works pretty well. Unfortunately both the fighting system and the music selection isn’t good enough. Still it is a decent game for those who want to try something new.
-
Oct 6, 2014Despite highlighting and isolating my complete lack of coordination, I had a lot of fun with the simple, solid and rewarding fundamental gameplay that KickBeat is, ultimately, all about.
-
Oct 5, 2014Not a lot of content and it is quite repetitive, but Kickbeat is a nice, challenging rhythm-game that does not cost a lot of money. Be afraid, because the controls must be spot on to succeed in Kickbeat.
-
Sep 29, 2014Only recommended for the merely curious who cannot resist a game of music and rhythm.
-
Sep 30, 2014Having less contents than the PC version, we can't really call this Ps4 Edition so Special.
-
Sep 26, 2014Kickbeat is a fairly generic rhythm-action title, hampered by loose core gameplay – something that really needed to be solid when there is so little in the way of content. It’s hard to recommend it when there are better examples of the genre out there.
-
Sep 21, 2014Decent presentation and a comical plot help to balance out boring gameplay and a disappointing soundtrack, culminating in a release that neither looks good nor bad on the dancefloor.
-
Nov 25, 2014Stick to your old copies of Rock Band and Guitar Hero and get your fighting game needs met with an actual fighting game.
