Red Rusher

Cutting it fine

When you think about it, there's a surprising shortage of video games starring sharp-suited, cybernetically enhanced, modern-day mafioso samurai on a quest for vengeance.

Thankfully, Red Rusher fills that void, tossing in a reaction-based, rhythm-action-style central mechanic and looking bloody marvelous while it's at it.

Red Rusher is all black and white comic book lines and grainy filter overlays, combining strongly-defined 3D corridor environments with sparingly animated but visually arresting enemies.

And it's all topped off with a barnstorming action soundtrack, just in case you weren't already convinced that Red Rusher is a bit of an aesthetic marvel.

A short, but furious, reaction-based finger swiper with enough solidly entertaining action to match its impressive style
