When it comes to videogames and music, there's a whole lot of brothers going on. Whether it's the Chemical Brothers, Dust Brothers, or Mario Brothers - they all do their own thing, with loads of style!
So along comes Rush Bros. a musical indie platform racer, that tries it's best to fuse the best of both worlds (music and platforming), taking inspiration from music rhythm games, platformers like Super Meat Boy, and a healthy dose of psychedelic eye-candy, to really mess with your head.
The results are a bit of a mish-mash that never totally gels, but that said, there's still quite a bit of fun to be had, particularly in the multiplayer modes. Some of the highlights from Rush Bros. include a brilliant soundtrack by Infected Mushroom, large trap infested levels sporting spikes and buzz saws, not to mention, some genuinely great looking visuals that suit the techno vibe.
But alas, Rush Bros. never quite hits the mark. While the music is awesome, the platform gameplay is lackluster and somewhat repetitive. For all of the cool ideas and potential that Rush Bros. had, it could have been oh so much better. As it stands, it's an average platformer, that happens to have an exceptional soundtrack.
All in all, it's a game that's far more enjoyable to listen to than play. That said, the experience does get a whole lot better when playing with friends. The good news is the price. Rush Bros. can be purchased in a 2-Pack Bundle for $14.99 via Steam. Pretty good value if you wanna go head to head against some real-world rivals...
