One of the most aesthetically pleasing games ever released even to this day, but one that when picked up and played isn't as perfect as I'd hoped.

There's a lot of awesome moments and setpieces scattered throughout, but there's also tedium and frustration to get through before you can experience the highs, particularly the level design. It's often way too mazy and windy, and left me yearning for the original game's level design more than I would've liked, but thankfully the gameplay, camera and presentation are a huge step-up from that title.

Still, I really hope Bomb Rush Cyberfunk combines the best of both games and curbstomps both of them in the process. One can dream...
