BeatBlasters III Review | Hardcore Gamer

BeatBlasters III has a smart use of rhythm in its core gameplay. The balance of beat between three powers and a metronomic pace-keeper are strong and keep gameplay dynamic. Unfortunately, the design is a nosedive from square one. There are far too few exciting uses of the powers and far too many tedious trudges through escort mission territory. There’s not a single mission in BeatBlasters III that the offers idealized freedom and exciting party-time rush that electronic music channels. BeatBlasters III encourages excitement and the party vibe with its aesthetic, but its design does nothing but slog around obnoxious escorts and defense missions that instantly overstay their welcome.
