You can always tell when Yahtzee thinks a game is fun when he says the game is fun.

[Helicon]

Incredible restraint for not saying the word spunk for two minutes

[JoStro_]

the reason why yhatz was hearing the same songs repeatedly was likely because the game has a 15minute "mixtape" for each chapter that runs on repeat by default (you can find the tracks as collectables to play them individually). Each chapter's mix also focuses on a specific genre of dance music corresponding the dance the gang for that chapter does, which i think is a neat touch.

A note about the combat: I found it was much better when I figured out how to use graffiti mid combat. It doesn't feel designed for just kicking dudes until they fall over (though you can do that), instead it felt like it was about popping dudes into the air and slashing at them with air and paint for a sweet instakill. It not only goes much faster, it also feels a lot more punch and stylish, as it should be for a game like this.

Yahtzee's lack of understanding as to why a manual doesn't break your combo is proof that the most athletic thing he's ever done is walk to the fridge for a hard cider.

Yahtzee explaining very obvious skating game mechanics is hysterical

[ownageDan]

while the original devs arent involved, the original composer is, which is what counts here :) their other game, lethal league and its sequel are also really fun. perfect for gamenight with friends. absolutely bangin OSTs aswell.

Honestly it would have been nice to know about the porta-potty changing rooms that let you lose the cops sooner, and even nicer to know they only work once per visit to the area. Still this was one of those rare games that i was excited about since its announcement, and couldnt wait for this review to make me laugh about all the shit this game frustres me about.

[McBeelzebub]

Ah the abuse one has to endure to still get a positive review from Zero Punctuation.

[QGfk]

only Yahtzee would have a line like "our lives are now dedicated to destroying you" flash so quickly it can be missed

[chris]

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is probably the best a spiritual Jet Set Rado successor could have been. I love it!

[MalcolmAkner]

Damn, you really are the master of analogies. "Balloons on a conveyor belt" conveys such a clear image and is fucking hilarious. I've been following you for 10+ years, and somehow your analogies just get better xD Love it, sounds like a cool game!

[matttipton]

The way he chastised the audience as scrub shit at 3:58 made me almost drop my drink. It just hit me and absolutely cracked me up!!

[jakenisbet]

Yahtz we've known about the manual button keeping combos since pro skater 2, get with it grandpa (sent from a man in his 30's)

Fun fact: for the Benelux launch of the Dreamcast, Sega didn't market the thing at all and only distributed 5000 consoles (on a population of at the time some 28 million). As a result, I only saw one for the first time in 2010, displayed like some kind of Indiana Jones treasure in a retro game shop. Between that and the bizarre games like JSR and Fishman, I was half convinced around 2000 that my gaming magazine made the whole thing up as an elaborate running joke.

Yahtzee: the bouncing tutorial girl is wrong, you can just mash buttons to do tricks, it's fine
Also Yahtzee: I got utterly stomped by the very first enemy gang and quit the game

Im surprised Yahtz even bothered with calling the game by its actual title in the first place. I felt that mom comment early in the video. I was one of those kids with a mom like that. Still love her though.

[Mene]

I knew Yahtz would have a field day with the names

[tmsplltrs]

The post-credit challenges in this game are some of the most fun I've had with a game in years. Praying for dlc
