Why can't Sega recapture the Monkey Ball magic from 1 & 2 on the Gamecube? This plays noticeably worse than those 20+-year-old titles. The physics and control feel loose and imprecise for a game series based entirely around character movement and navigation. A big disappointment that ended the series for me.
Groovy and fun. Undeniably, indelibly Dreamcast.
I adore the HDreamcast look of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and a lot of its soundtrack is banging. Movement is fluid, fun, and undeniably cool. Level design could be tighter, too many areas are huge open plazas, but solving traversal puzzles to make beautiful tags by real-life artists is deeply satisfying.
Unfortunately, BRC crashes. A lot. Despite my purchasing an up-to-date version in Dec. 2023 and playing on a newer Switch OLED, it crashed every time I finished a chapter. It crashed mid-chapter several times and after I reloaded from crashes a few times. Load times are noticeable, so this issue stung even worse. l've shrugged off the rare crash in other Switch games, but it was next level bad here.
