Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is everything I thought it was going to be, from its great aspects to its flaws.
The way it looks and the way it controls are perfect and exactly what anyone could have expected going into this. The soundtrack was put together by people with very good taste and is extremely danceable - what you want in a game where you can make your character dance whenever you want. The missions are a little formulaic but they don't keep you in the same area for too long which I think staves off the tedium. Everything is also pretty easy aside from some post-game content, but I think that plays into BRC's favour since it's another element that ensures that the game doesn't get tedious.
The only element I think could definitely have been improved is the writing department. I did enjoy the broader plot and its tendency to get weird, but despite some distinct and memorable character designs, the characters don't feel particularly distinct or well characterised. They have attitude (good!), but no depth (not so good!).
Ultimately, BRC is a game with lots of style, is a little thin in the gameplay department while still giving you enough to have plenty of fun, and a little thin in the writing department while still keeping you interested. That's a great game, right? I'm describing a great game. It's an instant favourite for me.
