This marks my second time playing through this and god DAMN I just cant GET ENUF ;) the vibes running throughout this game are immaculate and it not only pays respect to street culture but makes you want to be a part of it.

Whilst it's very stylistically bathed in what Jet Set Radio Future paved, in every other aspect they come up with their own twists that makes it feel more than just a faithful reimagining, mainly taking ideas from the 2000s Tony Hawk games. The gameplay/combo system could be seen as simplistic but I think this actually works towards the game's benefit as trying to get your score as high as possible is extremely addictive. Plus, the controls are a major upgrade since we now have a seperate joystick for the camera, something that was always the most annoying part of JSRF.

This also easily has one of my favourite soundtracks ever, a perfect blend of house, funk & garage that never gets boring eventhough repetitive, I wish more games incorporated this style of music more and having hideki involved is the icing on the cake~AAAGH so much to love!! If we ever get more games like this please inject it straight into my veins.
