Not even close. Like, seriously, it’s not even close.
Johnny comes across as a whiny little shit, spouting off highschool-level economic and political theory in the most bored tone possible. Part of that is just because that’s how Keanu Reaves speaks, but it’s a really flat performance on a thoroughly unlikeable character (he’s meant to be a total douche, I’m aware of that). The worst thing you can possibly be as a rockerboy is to sound bored, and Johnny sounds bored out of his mind nearly the entire game.
Way better performances include Mark Hamill, Tim Curry, JK Simmons, Ozzy Osbourne and Jack Black in the stuff they’ve appeared in.
Keanu as Jonny Silverhand doesn’t even make the top 10.

Peter Dinklage’s performance of “Ghost” would like a word with you.
