Just can't get enuf! An obvious attempt to play successor to Jet Set Radio, BRC hits all the high notes of those games while still bringing fresh (though not necessarily original) ideas to the mix. The aesthetics for this game are amazing, the soundtrack is slamming, and the sense of speed and exhilaration from nailing tricks is great. The game does have some flaws, from oblique elements that don't come across organically, a somewhat rushed conclusion to the story, and some flow breaking aspects to the tagging system. On the mixed side, the game is much easier to control than JSR and JSRF with less weight and inertia to your movement which makes it easier to get into but also makes it harder to judge what you are and aren't capable of. (On the non-complaint side, in can be hard to adjust to if you were playing the JSR games recently like yours truly) The pros vastly outweigh the cons though, and I while I personally find the game to be more of an equal to JSR than something that surpasses it , having more games like Jet Set Radio in the world is always good in my book and I'm sure I'll play this one multiple times just like I have JSR. Check it out if you love this style of game!
