Gameplay

Combat plays out on foot in hand-to-hand brawls and shooting segments, broken up with small puzzles and item searches. Several sections put the player in the cockpit of a spacecraft, and one stretch has the crew piloting a boat instead. A blackjack minigame lets players unlock extra bonuses between missions.

Story

Spike, Faye, and Jet are all playable, each voiced by their anime actor, while Ed and Ein tag along to hand out objectives and moral support. The plot chases rumors of a pirate's hidden fortune and a song called Diamonds, pitting the Bebop crew against a shadowy organization working to keep both hidden.

Reception

Bandai released the game in Japan on August 25, 2005, skipping a Western launch despite showing a playable demo at E3 2004. Reviews were mixed at best; Kotaku later called it a pretty terrible game whose cutscenes played like a decent episode, while IGN figured it would mainly land with existing fans. Yoko Kanno wrote three new tracks for the soundtrack, and a fan translation patch finally brought the game to English in August 2025.
