Twenty plus years ago, a funky, wild, and crazy game called Jet Set Radio set the scene. Several gangs fighting for supremacy, and making a statement of freedom, and with attitude. Plus its soundtrack was unforgettable, and the stuff of legends for many years. Mixing different genres, from rock, electronica, funk, r and b, trance, club, French house, J-Rock, J-pop and beyond. Mastered by an awesome dude, mixing the life of the city, with the vibe of the streets.
It has been awhile since a game like JSR made the scene. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk brings back that vibe. From presentation, style, energy, and passion. Within its soundtrack, thirty one songs take players on a wild ride.
Bringing back the legend that is Hideki Naganuma, along with many other awesome artists.
Like the past wild grind, BRC brings back that vibe that JSR set the ground running. Featuring artists from all over the world, exploring new sounds, and genres that deliver something fun, and unexpected in a game like this. From legends, to newcomers, and those from the underground scene. This soundtrack has it all.
Is it video game music? That is the fun part, a video game evolves from the start, and music is a motivation piece. Once the tone, and vibe changes, keeping you focused from a to b, it totally completes the experience. VGM has grown so much over time, the ability to mix different genres of music, and creating something new, making it fresh is an awesome concept. Who would have thought so many years ago, the idea of a game soundtrack mixed by a live DJ, and bringing its world to life could still inspire more games to do the same years later.
Is BCR a sequel to JSR? Yes, yes it is, and it is a must play, and its soundtrack is a must buy.
