Jet Set Radio and it's differences in Jet Set Radio HD

[Gill]

Jet Set Radio was a fun unique game I loved playing on my dreamcast emulator nullDC.. It was fun as a kid and I thought of legitimately buying it, until I did the summer of 2014 and having a blast with it.. Now I'm only to point out the differences people have seen with both versions, both miniscule and drastic..

Anyway, if you're reading this let's begin :D!


Tricks: In the original DC version, it was mostly wide text saying how much tricks you have done in a single streak of grinding and holding on to the a button while trying to move your guy onto a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rail, while in the HD remakes, it's been shortened down.. I personally like the new change as I can see more visibly where the ♥♥♥♥ I am.

Music: The Original dreamcast version had all of the music tracks, and I want to keep it that way, but in the HD version, they had to make some tracks not in the game.... Why would you do that sega? I mean, if you played JSR back on the Dreamcast, you might have some favorites that aren't here on the HD version, depending on where you live.. It's kinda stupid seeing such great songs such as yappie feet go to europe, when sega could've easily just added it all in..

Load times (PC version as far as I can tell.): Load times are very much like a blink in the PC version, unlike the DC version when it took quite some time to load.. This makes it much easier for me to play the game and see it in an amazing new way.. Thanks Blit!

Custom Graffiti: Bare-bones editor can pretty much go to hell.. HOWEVER, There are major drastic differences with this one, as in Jet set radio for DC, you had SegaNet to allow you to use custom graffiti, like imagine some of the paintings of Michaelangelo for example, You could be from stereotypical graffiti to making Michaelangelo saying "♥♥♥♥ the sistine chapel, let's go bring it out on the streets!" However in the PC version, You have to use Third-party software to get it in which I find annoying.. I mean it's not hard to do, but still, they could've kept that feature and used steam as an online picture gallery! They'd have to do it under the conditions of the 128x128, 256x128, and 512x128 sizes, but that's more than good enough.


Controls: OH GOD NOT THE KEYBOARD! Using the keyboard is like playing limbo with death, and you can't bend your back at all, It's impossible unless you have a controller.. Unless you know what the f*** you're doing with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ keyboard. It's really easy to f*** up some of the high level graffiti, but doing that with a keyboard is just impossible to do.. Also there is custom camera control, which makes it easier instead of spamming left trigger like in the DC version.. It is optional to turn on the graffiti camera, but I personally don't recommend it.

Get yourself an Xbox 360 controller with Microsoft xbox accessories, or do SCP server with PS3 Controllers with the charging cable in mind.. if you're playing it on Consoles, Controls won't matter in the damn slightest..

So there's what I have spotted.. If you're going to mention when it first came out, all bugs had been patched..

Well then good sir, more respect to you, I cannot deal with the keyboard controls, they are horrible.

[Gill]

Yeah. Also the review is probs a couple years old.
