Hi-Fi Rush

Ever go to a gig where the support act rocked harder than the band you paid to see? This surprise release has similar underdog vibes, with old-school action and a rhythm twist...

- 

This colourful and cartoony rhythm battler couldn’t be more different from developer Tango Gameworks’ previous titles. Hi-Fi Rush swaps the nightmarish survival horror of The Evil Within and the spooky open world of Ghostwire: Tokyo for the unabashed creativity of a Dreamcast or PS2-era game, with a rocking licensed soundtrack to match.

Toon-shaded visuals this vibrant haven’t been seen on an Xbox since Jet Set Radio… but instead of Tokyo-to, this level-based action platformer is set across a corporate campus belonging to a nefarious tech company, with music from the likes of Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy and The Joy Formidable perfectly tied to each new set piece.
