Jet Set Radio GBA - Any good?

Well? is it worth buying? I'm either gonna get this or SF2 for my currently underappreciated GBA. I love you GC version but I'm just worried about how well the game works on a console that doesnt do 3D

It's pretty good by not great. The controls take some getting used to, but its based on the solid Tony Hawk GBA engine.
It's also amazing how well they re-create the music in the GBA version.

The control is kinda like the RE games, left/right turn your character around, up makes him go forward, I liked the DC original and JSRF a lot, but I couldn't get into the GBA version

I captured some footage a while back. Had a lot of trouble with the perspective. The music sounds authentic, til you realize that the soundtrack was extremely cut down, both in terms of track count, and track length. The songs are really just short looped segments of their former selves.

Thanks for the advice and the video. It looks pretty good for a GBA game and I see what you mean about the perspective being difficult - it difficult to tell where you are gonna land when jumping. I think I might leave the 2D consoles to the 2D games. Besides I checked the feedback of the guy selling the only copy on ebay and he has a history of not sending games or sending duff gmaes and never ansering emails. I checked out the guy that had the only complete SF2 and he sells fakes so at the minute I back into hunting mode.
