Like a freshly tagged wall, BRC absolutely drips with style. The visuals, the soundtrack, and the wealth of movement options make just commuting from point A to B an absolute blast. It took me a while to come to grips with the level design as a THPS fan. Environments felt much less dense, and I had a harder time stringing together huge combos. What I failed to realize until a couple hours in is that this game is more about traversal, and looking rad as hell while doing it. As you start to understand how to optimize combos, you realize you have to utilize the entire space to maximize points and the levels start to make more sense. The only real complaints I have lie in the combat, which is disappointingly flimsy. Especially when it's taken into account just how much of it you end up doing throughout the game. That being said, this game is more fully featured than most other indies. Add in a shockingly good story and it's hard not to recommend to THPS fans, JSRF fans, and anyone looking to do a rocket-powered backflip over a crowd of police officers.
