What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Its really fun throwaway but kinda funny dual story going on sucks you have to beat it to unlock Mei's story cause she is pretty badass ive never gone back to Lee as the playable character.
As for the key selling point of musically generated gameplay, heralded among the likes of Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, and Symphony, Kickbeat falls very short in this regard.
Well, that's the gameplay... that's the sound... the controls... how about the graphics?
Personally I think it had an awesome soundtrack and I think there is a good chance that the devs could release dlc to extend the story line or just add more songs in freeplay.
Cons: Doesn't have 1v1 online multiplayer(Would be a wonderful feature to face off), some times it auto-crashes(Not ras of Friday 7/4/2014),.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
