While it has a banging soundtrack, a unique visual style, and a slightly expanded trick system over its predecessor, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of this game.
I'm not huge on the map design in some of the alter areas, the simplified graffiti mechanics, and getting stopped frequently to deal with a police encounter which just halts progress immediately. Far more focus on bigger spaces means travel takes so much longer to do and getting from point A to point B to handle a story mission is a slog a lot of the time with very few shortcuts.
While I feel it's only a marginal improvement over its predecessor in terms of control, feel, and to a point its visuals, when the game is in its groove, it's a total blast to play. However I think my interest lies more with the original in terms of style and with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, it trounces this game in feel as a whole.
