    It’s easy to glance at Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and see a cheap imitation. A work whose value is found in what it takes rather than what it creates. But Team Reptile has proven that derivative art can surpass its inspirations. I can recall nearly half a dozen instances of me starting Jet Set Radio with the hope that it would finally click, that I could finally enjoy moving in that world as much as I enjoyed being in it, only to never make it past the second level. In a year chock full of landmark releases, I’m booting up Bomb Rush Cyberfunk again to make up for all the lost time, to play the game that I always hoped existed. Now that I have it, I simply just can’t get enough.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the kind of game I’ve been waiting to play for two decades. Jet Set Radio Future was a truly formative game for me, and I’ve been waiting for years to play something that truly gets what made it work. While I typically find an attachment to nostalgia to be damaging to any work of art, Team Reptile has not let it bog them down. This is one of the freshest games you’ll play all year, and with its quality of life improvements and new modern flair, I think it has surpassed the games it was inspired by.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a brilliantly niche title. Apart from Jet Set Radio 20 years ago, it seems no one has attempted to capture this kinda 90s/2000s skater-graffiti counter-culture in a video game since. And I'm glad that Team Reptile did, because Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is just what I was hoping for! Fully sick!

    The soundtrack and visuals are beyond reproach, and the mostly fun skate gameplay sees Bomb Rush Cyberfunk grappling with repetition and really annoying cops.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the perfect spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio. Not only does it capture the idea of cruising the streets, but the intuitive controls and simple mechanics allow anyone to pull off impressive-looking tricks. Unfortunately, the combat is weak, and segments where this is at the forefront hinder the overall quality of the product. However, when you hurdle this bump, you’ll fall in love with the banging beats and addictive gameplay loop.

    The visuals are too determined to mimic the past than impress in the present, the plot is awful fan fiction guff, and world feels utterly drab and lifeless. None of the areas I explored were memorable, and I had no desire to return to any of them once I’d moved on. The result is a game that clearly wants to be Jet Set Radio 3, and because we’re all so starved for more, we’ll lap it up like it is. But, ultimately, it’s not up to the same standards. I’d definitely back Sega giving Team Reptile the opportunity to make a genuine stab at a Jet Set Radio 3, as the love for the series oozes in every screen, but it needs the big budget that the series deserves. And, a vastly superior writing team.

    It's colorful and fun, but there is no long-term appeal.

Don’t listen to the taint stranglers that come in and spam zero scores for no reason. Everything that made JSR an iconic cult classic is presented and even expanded upon here. Team Reptile did a phenomenal job with the movement (once you get used to it) which doesn’t take long, the soundtrack is catchy and funky, and the art style is amazing. If you loved JSR you will love this game and even if you haven’t played it and are looking to get into this genre this is an amazing, addicting, fun experience and a great place to start. This is truly a love letter to us long time jet set radio fans and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. This game was worth the wait and I’m very excited to enjoy it much like I did with JSR for years to come.… Expand

The controls are fluid, which is my only complaint about those other 2 games. Lack of any indie/rock music is disappointing but that’s just a nitpick. And more varied cities would have been nice.

    I have no idea what that 0 rating review is talking about. How can you look forward to this game and expect something different than what it is? This was never going to be anything other than a bigger scale jet set radio. And for people complaining about the price tag? This game has been more fun for me than nearly any AAA $70 game this year.    … Expand

It brings a refreshing touch to what JSRF once did while also keeping the things that made that game interesting. I would’ve loved to see more maps and a longer story too, but the replayability seems great up until now. The game becomes a little easy once you get around the mechanics, but it’s not so easy that you can’t lose to the CPU in the second half of the game.… Expand

    In game development, as in any art form, the innovations and essence of the products exists in a collective feedback loop. In gaming, someIn game development, as in any art form, the innovations and essence of the products exists in a collective feedback loop. In gaming, some works define entire genres and so we get games labeled as "Metroidvania", "Souls - like", etc. It's pretty clear that Bombrush Cyberfunk could be considered a "Jet Set Radio - like". It just so happens that this particular niche hasn't seen any meaningful innovation or even any successful release since basically Jet Set Radio itself.
    Bombrush Cyberfunk might not be a revolutionary genre defining game, but it is very fun and basically the first competent Jet Set Radio inspired game ever. Its art and music are well done and the game itself captures the essence of what it was going for well. The core gameplay is an immediately noticable improvement over Jet Set Radio, as should be expected from a game releasing 20 years later. Outside the improvements to the core gameplay (movement and controls), there aren't many meaningful alterations to the gameplay systems introduced in Jet Set Radio, but considering this is a game from a small team in a genre completely starved for new entries, the fact that they made a fun new game that captures the same spirit should absolutely be considered a success. I'm enjoying it a lot and hope that it will be successful enough for the team to make a sequel, one in which they will hopefully be able to take everything they learned while making this game and evolve the gameplay into uncharted territory.    … Expand
