Story: 9/10 The story is a little small, but enough to make anyone care, it is the story of three Bouncers who have to save a girl who lived with them, when she is kidnapped by her own brother, Sion and two others sets out to save her. If you are the one who likes a little love story, yet with some weird actions you will love the story, if you are not that person you actually will love it anyway, The bouncer is a piece of brilliance in the story department.
Music/Sounds: 10/10 Everything in this game sounds perfect, you can actually hear just about anything from anywhere, and the voices from Japanese and English is both literally perfect, you can actually feel a little like you are there in the game, you are the hero and all. Music throughout the game fits just right to the places, and the ending song is perfect for the mood of the ending.
Visuals: 10/10 The Bouncer is one of the first games that came out for the Playstation 2, and the visuals is what makes this game go down in history, the graphics is actually just about all the Playstation 2 could take, and what every game that came out later on should at least consist of. When it is possible to use the full system of the Playstation 2 at the first try, no one can deny it. You can actually see down to almost everything, the faces and expressions of the main hero is almost complete. The surroundings is incredible for a first game, that is why this game goes down as history in the game making.
Gameplay: 6/10 This is where the game really lacks, the camera angels are annoying, the bosses and the enemies are too easy, even the end boss is too easy, the game is too short, and there isn't really enough of the mulitiplayer functions, i would have liked if you would be able to play through the main story with another player, but that function is not in there. The extra content in the game is a little too mediocre. The loading times are a little too long, but not something that really will bug you that much. You can get some endings so there are some ways of ending the game, you can either play with Sion or take the other two in the game, Kou and Volt, but that does not really ad much too the game.
Overall:8/10 Because of the little content of the game it cant get a nine, if the visuals and music had been awful this game would be a 4/10 but the visuals and music is history and just too good to take this game down, plus the story is likable and something you would play through sometimes more, and then put it on the shelves.
