Curious what people who haven't played the Jet Set Radio games think of this.

I own JSR on Steam and played JSRF at my friend's house back when the game first came out, so I'm rather familiar with the original games, and this game hits the feeling I've been missing pretty well.

But I am curious--do people with no familiarity with the original games feel the same way?

Despite getting a PS1 shortly after it came out I've never played JSR. This looks cool, though. I like the gameplay, art style, and music which is why I plan on getting it at some point. I grew up with Hip-hop (was born in '74) and have always loved stuff like Hip-hop, funk, techno, electronica, and all that stuff. I'm a huge fan of graffiti art and I love stuff like skateboarding despite the fact I could never do it in real life.

The 90's era of gaming featured a lot of games that took chances and tried something different. I'm happy to see that spirit lives on. Even though this is a spiritual sequel the devs seem to have done their best to make it fresh and new rather than it being a knockoff of their earlier game.

Now we just need snowboarding and car-combat games to make a comeback.

I have very limited experience (ie the first 3 stages) with the original JSR, i love the aesthetics and the vibes but the gameplay itself i always found to be punishing and janky.
BRC in comparison is a breeze to play and the challenge mostly comes from optional content.

In comparison, my experience with JSR is mostly slowly walking up the same straircase five times because i keep failing the same jump,
