The game's original music has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking, while others appreciate the colorful visuals and soundtracks. A standout feature is the ability to incorporate personal music libraries, enhancing the gameplay experience, though this may limit replayability for those without a diverse selection of songs. Overall, the music aspect is seen as a double-edged sword, offering customization at the cost of original content.
- “I kinda like the looks (very colorful) and the music though.”
- “Nice soundtracks.”
- “This is definitely what sets Burst back over other games where you can blow through your music library in one sitting if you like.”
- “The music that comes with the game isn't that great, but you can toss your own in there to listen to.”
- “Earning points don't feel like they have any meaning; you're always more concerned about making it through a song entirely.”
- “Great game but I don't see much replayability unless you have a library of songs you want to play with.”
