Is Jet Set Radio Future worth my time?

Post by Droid party »

JGR on the DC is one game that I have been putting in alot of time on in the last few months (missed it the first time around) and I love it. Now I want more so I am considering getting JSRF but the little I've seen kinda looks like it's the same game.

Basically my question is, Is it different enough to warrent the purchase or is it just more of the same and I should just stick with JGR?

I haven't played it all, but it is significantly different. They tweaked the system a bit.
Here's a great breakdown at DCJY

Oh hell yeah it's worth your time! :D
It's faster paced and really fun~
It's considered a remake but I personally don't feel it when I play it.

I got my copy of JSRF/Sega GT 2002 at Gamestop for $1.99. They practically give them away! So not much of an investment if it turns out you don't like it.

the levels are bigger, the soundtrack is good, and it is much more fast paced.

Down side is they removed the controller simon says style spray painting. It is all automated now, just hit the action button. Up side is this gives you more time to skate... if that's the part of the game you like.

Personally I loved JSR because I could download my images off the webs and spray paint my hairy butt all over the city.
