Enjoyable as a multiplayer game, functional as a singleplayer platformer. Not worth full price.
Rush Bros. is based of somewhat Super Mario Brothers and Sonic Adventure mashed up together with their own music (permission given by the artists) or import your personal favorite music background.
You can customize any color and choose the gender whether you want to be male or female.
You probably might be thinking that most of the stages were pretty dark as it look like a haunted version. The worst part about is the Beat Sounds. When the music hit "Bass/Drum" part, chances that it pushes you away and lose momentum when you try to pass through. Even if you want to complete the speedrun and earn the achievements, good luck with Beat Sounds that could totally ruin your life.
There are no enemies in most stages. Just a bunch of couple saws, spikes, lasers and prediction of fall that you have to avoid. You can even race against online player to see who got the best time record, but quite frankly, nobody even wants to play this game anymore.
Pros:
- Import your personal music list you like to listen as a background
- Customizing your own character style
Cons:
- Most Levels are quite repetitive
- Super Mario Brothers and Sonic Style ripoff
- The Beat Sounds are annoying when it comes to push you away and lose momentum
[*]Not a lot of players wanting to do race
Overall:
3/10
Not even worth it to get full or sale price. Stay away from it.
It's an okay 2D platformer that looks nice, but the game's involvement with your music library is basically the equivalent of having iTunes open while playing. It doesn't feel like running through the levels would make much of a difference whether or not I was using the game's OST, my music folder, or no sound at all. I was expecting more out of it, but it might be OK to grab during a steep sale or something.
Upon starting the full retail version of the game you are greeted with a EULA for what is stated to be the DEMO VERSION of the game that includes some truly pernicious terms of service and also some plainly rude language telling the customer that if you try any funny business you will incur a bunch of legal costs through arbitration, also it is unclear about the scope and nature of the data collection the game will be doing or why a simple platformer needs to store any personal information about me on an out of country server in the first place.
I don't think I have ever seen a EULA that looks quite this bad before. So I was like "is it just me, or is this shit unusually oppressive?" and I did some googling and the thing shows up on game review sites. Apparently I am not the only person who thought it was kind of weird.

If the product can't even clarify whether I am agreeing to one for the full version of the game I just purchased or if instead I have just installed some sort of demo version, I am certainly not going to accept any agreement that looks like this.
the trailer had me excited, i believed i would experience an intense sensation of speed provided both my the character movements and the musically effected levels; sadly the music doesn't interact with the level designs in a truly dynamic or interesting way, the controls felt loose and slidey(something that shouldn't be allowed in this type of game); and while attempting to find some enjoyment in this purchase, i played levels that were literally impossible to complete. The hype is not real, the music selection was the only part i liked, which i can easily enjoy through several free methods; If you're looking for a good game with a more intergral mixture of gameplay and music, I recomend Crypt of the Necrodancer. Don't waste your time or money with this one.
All in all, a pretty solid platformer to me. The stage elements don't really seem to be moved by the music that well, except for the bass section, but even without it working great there the platforming's still good.
It's a nice, more easy-going platformer because of all the respawn points, but that's what I like about it, that I can come to it for a nice relaxing session. The amazing soundtrack and visuals, which are probably the very best features of this game, make it just a great game to sit down with and have some easy-going fun.
I've put in quiet a decent amount of time into this game at this point and figured it was about time to write my own honest review of the game...
As a tl;dr for anyone not looking to read through this entire review before buying:
I give the game a 6/10, I'll give it a thumbs up because it's enjoyable enough, but I don't necessarily recommend it. The game itself isn't for anyone and if you're planning on buying it, wait until its $5 or less as the $10 price tag is too much for this game.
The game itself is exactly as it claims it is when it states that it's "a music reactive Platform Racing Game". The game itself is centered around competing against other players online (or against your own times) while avoiding obstacles that are Somewhat reactive to the music. But this "reactive" element is where part of the problem I have with this game arises. Depending on the song currently playing, certain elements of levels can be virtually impossible to complete. As songs get more and more upbeat obstacles seem more aggressive and unpredictable. Be it those strange "bass" obstacles that send you flying away from them, the pulsing buzz saws, or those obnoxious cannon like things, certain songs will make these obstacles about a million times more difficult. I myself would often find myself waiting for the brief moments of peace at the end of one song while another was preparing to start before trying to quickly rush through an obstacle I'd been stuck at for what seems like ages.
Next up, level design. While all the stages themselves are unique and different, there's a few major problems I've noticed in levels that just makes the game itself incredibly frustrating to play sometimes. On some levels you'll get a checkpoint nearly every 20 feet, so a death is meaningless and can cost you only a few seconds, while on other levels I felt like I'd spend a minute at a time avoiding obstacles only to die and be sent right back... And that without mentioning some horrible level layouts where I could miss a jump, fall down for about 15 seconds and land on a platform near the beginning of the level, forcing me to start almost the entire race over again.
Multiplayer itself seems to work well enough, however I haven't been able to play much online. Half the time I can't find a server with anyone to play against, and whenever I can, they'll often leave before we can even pick a level or make it any significant distance into a race. However racing against a friend while chatting over skype can be a blast.
Overall the game itself isn't bad... but I wouldn't by any means call it great or even necessarily good. It's a basic platformer, with controls that can be a little bit slippery, beautiful background images, and a diverse and enjoyable soundtrack. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend the game at full price unless you're really really itching to get your hands on it, I would recommend it if it drops to $5 or below. And at that point you may want to grab a 2-pack so you could send a copy to a friend if you ever wanna play a quick game to pass some time.
I saw many videos and trailers of this gmae and thought "hell yeah, that looks like fun. I'll buy it together with my friend and then we'll play and fun bla bla...".
But when it was released the hype was away and we waited for a sale....we got it. We paid 1€ each....and we want it back. A cup of ice cream would have been a lot more fun for the money.
Now to the real review (I've been even using the Co-Op Mode): The game is fast and dynamic, in the first few seconds it's awesome, but soon the first flaws appear:
- Why do they have a running animation, when you can spam the slide and are a lot faster? Keep that away, it looks like you're glitching, but if you're not doing it, you know that you should do it or you'll lose.
- The game and level design is awful. Flash games look better and are for free. And you can't really tell if an obsticle is just there or if it is deadly. Maybe it is the color, but everything is glowing and so I didn't care and got kinda frustrated. And if you play coop and "kill" your friend....oh god the animations look so horrible.
- There's no aim. You have all songs and all levels (or am I wrong? But starting with over 30 levels doesn't seem too unlockable) and therefore I don't know for what I'm playing. Me and my friend were battling and the winner got...nothing. We started the next level, had a bit fun, but it got boring soooo fast. Now you're asking "but there are achievements which save us!" Wrong. "Beat XX in YY seconds." that's it. For every level. Yay.
- The level design isn't fun. In games like VVVVVV or Super Meat Boy (which I have both beaten with a sh*tload of fun) everything was hard, but fair or fun. In RB you run, fly or fall into something and ask "WHY? WOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN". My friend isn't a noob either and had the same questions.
- The music is meh. I'm totally into EDM and it's the most common thing I hear, but in the game I liked about 2 songs (one was the main theme). After using my songs (which took an eternity to load, my friend dealt with the same issue) the levels didn't change that much, so no "wow" in this either.
After all, this game is so disappointing, even for paying only 1€.
i liked the whole idea of it.
the execution was terrible.
playing multiplayer, your friend could not hear the music you play,
they run off of their own music.
for a game that has a map that works off of music, you should really work on making everyone hear the same thing.
3/10 - maybe 3/10, on a good day.
The network is pretty bad however the game itself is something we rarely see: a game that uses music, scratch that, YOUR music to effect 90% of the world around you.
If you like platformers id say this game is worth about 4 dollars so pick it up.
Rush Bros.; for those of us who didn't grow up on regenerative health and hand-holding platforming, Sonic 2 vs mode has never looked so good, or been so fun. My only negative experiences have been with low player base and the fact that with the exception of 1 person (who left after 2 loses) the majority of racers you find in this game are unable to take losing, and most races end with your opponent quitting.
Overall, it's much simpler platforming than something like Super Meat Boy; not to detract from its difficulty at all, it's plenty hard, but the races weren't meant to stop someone in their tracks forever. Which is part of the problem, players who are inexperienced tend to quit before they have a chance to learn to play. It's a game you have to get good, but the game is set up in a discouraging way.
I'd say with some basic interface modifications, some updates to multiplayer features, and a couple tweaks to the camera (which irrationally zoomed to a location that my player wasn't in a couple times) this could be a game that has a strong community for multiplayer, and see's its multiplayer population skyrocket. I enjoy it, but I've hit a player cap after only an hour and a half of practice. 15 games in a row disconnected or cancelled before they even started. What's sad is that it's like players don't know they can decline the song and pick something else; and I would have accepted it 100% of the time.
Potentially a 7/10 depending on how much you enjoy racing your own shadow if you don't have a friends list filled with Rush Bros. players.
Nice music (thumbs up), but repetitive and hard gameplay. However once you've got the hang of it, it'll be fun and challenging. I'm 1.5hrs into the game with 2 out of 54 achievement as of now (11 June 2014) and will definitely get into it and challenge all 54 achievements. Recommended for skilled platformer gamers, not so recommended for those who do not like platformers or beginners who wants to try up on one.
P/S: Definitely more fun with gamepad/controllers!
Sadly this amazing artstyle and music was wasted on terrible gameplay. However I am in favor of an improved sequel. In my opinion this game would be perfect with a higher focus on platforming and less on avoiding those damn lazer spikes that keep popping up. Also it's a misc thing but the ability to customize your "bro" would be amazing (and I'm not just talking about his color). Also the difficulty spike is rather large and I actually have an easier time beating some of the later tracks then some of the previous ones (20-30 specifically). Perhaps turning this into an action platformer would work. Having little or large robots trying to block your path would be better then the many other issues you have to deal with (not saying all map hazards are bad).
all in all I'd hate to watch this die to bad unresponsive controls and frustraiting percision when it has such an amazing artyle and sountrack
Lol @ anyone complaining that this game is too hard. You pussies. It does get challenging, but that's a good thing.
As for controls-- they're perfect with a generic gamepad.
It's a cool game. Nothing mindblowing, but it is solid and entertaining. My only complaint is that it is noy as fast as and jumpy as I was expecting something with "rush" in the title to be. I really was hoping for a little more speed. Ah well.
Precision platforming and awesome sound track that looks cool, but quickly becomes rage inducing with the bad controls. Add that with low frame rate and forced multiplayer and you have a game that just isn't fun to play. This game taught me a lesson. Even if it looks cool and has the support of critics, dosn't mean it will be a good game.
Love, the game, should be renamed to Rage Bros. My friend and I play it every once in a while, always ending up yelling at each other, in a good way of course. I would recommend someone getting a 4 pack and giving it to friends. It's really fun. Enjoy!
I can't understand the negative reviews. I picked up a 2-pack, and my friend and I play this game all the time. It's quick, competitive, and the powerups which affect the other player (reverse controls, upside down screen) always create havoc.
The levels vary from short to long-ish, so you can pick something depending on how much time you have.
As for comparing it to Bit Trip Runner and Super Meat Boy ... I haven't worked out how to play those with a friend, have you?
Highly recommended. There should be more friend vs friend games like this.
PS the music is cool.
I really, really tried to like this game. The idea of a platformer that you play to your music sounds good on paper, but I feel that Rush Bros. doesn't deliver on it's cool-sounding concept. If a game has the option to play with my music more often than not I will choose to do so. In Rush Bros. however, unless you're playing anything other than electro house you're probably going to have a hard time moving through a level since obstacles will either focus on A) the back beat B) the vocals or C) some other element to the song that isn't made readily apparent to you. This results in either trying the level with a different song or the default music (which works fine, btw) and I feel that's very poor design on the developer's part. Speaking of poor design, some of the levels in this game are just terrible. This game excells when you're going fast and dodging obstacles and there are quite a few levels where you are put in a maze and have to find keys to progress almost in a puzzle-platform kinda way. Being forced to slow down and think your way through a level wouldn't be so bad if the wall jumping didn't feel as sticky as it does, which sucks since in the puzzle levels there are tons of walls for you to stick to for whatever reason. Again, I really wanted to like this game but some of the core parts of this game just don't click with me.
*Testing with Xbox-controller*
1.Overvier:
"Guitar Hero" or "Audiosurf" ? -No.
"Super Meatboy" meet "Need for Speed" or "Sonic" ? -Yes.
2.Pros:
+"Super Meatboy"-mechanic["climbing" on walls] with a lot "ckeckpoint" and some joker(doubble jump; extra speed) .[If you failed in "SMb", you must start the full level];
+Very nice levels with a good music-playlist and you CAN choose, what you want listen;
*It's a Race-game(with a lot of arrows to help). Single, or 1v1 online
+OR 1v1 with someone in splitscreen. You can example plaing "Fifa" with buddy-
one with controller and the another on keybord.
For me is this THE 1ST RACE-game ON PC for 2 peoples (of course you can share the keybord);
+If you play a level again, you have a race with our "best score"-goust (like in moustly race-games).
3.Negatives:
-The focus is- jump'n'RUN from "A" to "B" (possible quick). The music does not affect your surroundings or bonuses.
-For a "achievement-hunter" like me, the achv. are (very) hard.
4.Conclusion.
A race-game on fantastic-levels with good music with 1v1 option.
Good to lost stress (the music, the gameplay not ever).
awesome game! its a music driven platform race game! cool right?:) you have to run through obstacle theamed courses which is really fun as the further you get the harder it gets (this game has like 60 tracks so it very hard to not replay) you can play single-player or multi-player online or locally it fun either way as single-player you try get best time & same with 2 player + getting to the end first.if you can buy this game then you should as it like £8.00 & i would of thought it be some short racing game but it is much better then that & even if you did all 60 tracks i can see this game having a lot of replayability oh & another thing, the music is really cool & if your getting a bit fed up on a lvl the music keeps you on it as its catchy & fits in with the game :D
This is a somewhat biased review, given Infected Mushroom is my favorite of all time. But! The game is a fun little platformer, with killer music. This is absolutely worth every penny, if only for the soundtracks! *jams out*
