many people actually like movie-games. dispatch was just last year and the game assets was literally just videos stitched together. it's just that mixtape was awful in both the movie and game aspect. it's supposed to be a coming of age story except there's zero coming of age because the characters have zero arc or even negative arcs. music is heavily praised, except most of the musics were 60s to 80s in a game about teenager in the late 90s, they're not even rebellious music, there's barely any rap, punk or metal.

like, you can clearly see this was made by a privileged person who's rebellious teenager era was spending dad's money to hangout in clubs of which he wouldn't really care that much, instead of actually being a nuisance in society. people hated this game so much because of the insane astroturf. this game would've flown under the radar had the ratings be 7/10 and actually advertised to have similar gameplay amount as dispatch (except your choice here barely matters)
