Story

The game follows an original story set in the Cowboy Bebop universe. Its events center around a search for a space pirate's treasure, a mysterious song called Diamonds and a mysterious organization that stands in the way of the Bebop crew.

Gameplay

Playable characters include Spike, Faye and Jet, each of whom are voiced by their respective voice actors from the anime series, while Ed provides objectives, advice and moral support. Ein appears alongside Ed as well. Action occurs on foot with both hand-to-hand and shooting segments, often with small puzzles to solve, as well as items to search for (either essential to the plot or bonus items that appear in the gallery). Certain sections of the game require piloting spacecraft and, in one section, a boat. Gameplay is punctuated by long cutscenes that develop the story. There is also a blackjack mini-game featuring Spike and Jet as rotating dealers; this provides a way to earn additional money to unlock bonuses, such as songs for the music player and character profiles.

Music

The soundtrack was composed by Yoko Kanno, famous for her music in the series. Three new songs, performed by Italian vocalist Ilaria Graziano, were composed for the game and released on the Tank! THE! BEST! album.
