. . . . . . . . . . . The Bouncer
Pretty underrated beat em up. Had a blast from start to finish. Also suuuuper short. Did it in one sitting. But if you got a pal copy defo get yourself a cheat disc to force it into 60hz cuz its a slog in 50hz. Did the whole game as Sion

I miss this era of games. The aesthetic, the edginess, all worth it.
One of the worst Beat-em-Ups I've ever played, I love it
Played it again cause I got the PS2 emulator going and I had to visit it again lmfao
A manual on how not to make an action game.
Um jogo que não alcança nada narrativamente, com uma gameplay repetitiva, uma soundtrack tesuda e com character design do Tetsuya Nomura: The Bouncer. Esse jogo é muito goofy e vale a pena só pela experiência, é estúpido igual os jogos B da Square da época (tipo Parasite Eve), mas igual os jogos B da Square da época, é um estúpido muito divertido. Uma pena não ter uma sequência.
I picked this up because it was released by Square Enix and wanted to see what it’s about. What a weird game lol. Really has nothing to do with the main character being a Bouncer, the story is way out there. And the game is really really short.
Bouncer? I hardly know her!
I won't beat around the bush. Bouncer is really, really good.
So good it goes around...for some people. For me it was an incredible experience in terms of gameplay, consistent with the detail system, progression mechanics and game script.
One of the best beat'em'ups I've ever played.

Pretty solid beat em up.
volt's moves are funny as hell other than that everything is lacking in this game except character designs, they look cool
This game bounced too hard o7
The announcer deserved a better gig
It's Christmas and I'm playing the Bouncer.... What has life come to
Don't let the haters or doubters tell you differently.
This game is the accumulation of all the best design principles of classic beat-em-ups before and the current undisputed grandmaster of its genre.
A must play for all.

It's ok. They tried to make a 3D beat 'em up. I think there's a reason there isn't a good one.
escrevi em inglês sobre esse jogo e o modo como a moda era usada para mascarar a sua classe social nos anos 2000: https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/the-bouncer-is-a-fashion-statement/
Nomura pero sin ser de Nomura.
The Bouncer was obviously more of a technical demonstration of the PS2's power than a game to tease the level of quality the console's library would have though despite all that it's still actually kind of awesome. It's for an roughly 2 Hour hardware demonstration incredibly soulful and though it's as a brawler not that refined it's still really fun and once you get enough upgrades with the characters it's a true blast. It's a shame that The Bouncer never was meant for anything more it seems. There would be more than enough room for a sequel espicially with the amount of story each character has (Volt in particular). The Bouncer maybe short, unrefined and ultimately just a tech demo but it's still cool nonetheless and I recommend people espicially those who like games like Final Fight to actually give it a shot.
7/10

Extremely short beat em up but it's pretty fun.
they will try to tell you this game is mid, do not let them
I still need to replay the game many times to properly evaluate its content.
