dante76 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 So the last of the XBox games is this. Havn't played it before. It has a reputation for being good. Its like being with your dad at a nightclub, trying so hard to be cool and street. The music is either annoying or good, which can be summed up by the bad Bis "Sugar Sugar Candy Pop etc etc etc" The levels are either a doddle or bizarre with no real pointers as to where to go and the controls are overtly simplistic. Oh well. Its PS2 games after this. Whats the point in spending time programming pedestrian's to run out of the way when there's no punishment or reward for hitting one? Still, it looks nice.

HandsomeDead Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You miserable bastard, how can you not love this game? if it is a dad in a night club then it is a dad who I think is genuinly cool, the soundtrack is a bit hit and miss I guess but it all ties with the game nicely. Navigating is a bit of an arse but there is enough moves to make the journeys interesting, doing moves is simple but getting to some of those hard to reach places really isn't. I wish I could go through Jet Set Radio Future again, either of them really, I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 There is only one bad bit that I really hated, and that was the working you way down into the sewers. It was worth it though, because your reward for getting there is fucking awesome. Have you tried to look at Gums knickers yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've been playing this loads lately, it's still cool as fuck. Fuck knows what Dante was on about unless I'm out of touch.. which is likely. It's loads of fun exploring these levels by doing trendy things like grinding on ad boards and stuff; but there is a problem. I don't remember it having such bad frame rate problems. I don't know if it's shit 360 emulation or it was always this bad, it can't have been, we would have noticed, so I blame the shitty 360. Some parts (99th street especially) are unplayable.

spatular Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ive been wanting to replay this for a while, was hoping it’d be made backwards compatible with the Xbox one but that never happened. Anyway got some component cables for some old consoles including the Xbox so I could use it on the main tv. The disk tray doesn’t work too well anymore but a paper clip sorts it out. Been really impressed with how ps2/wii/Xbox look via component, previously via scart on my older tv they looked terrible. anyway the game is so far pretty similar experience to playing the first game again, it looks and sounds amazing for the most part, although it’s probably not quite as cool as the first one. and I am still enjoying it, and occasionally I pull off a really cool move and it’s amazing, but generally the gameplay isn’t as good as I remember, it’s less frustrating than the first one in some ways, the enemies aren’t as annoying, but the controls can be frustrating and it’s often difficult to work out where you’re supposed to go next. So far my conclusion is that the game with the best jet set radio gameplay is sunset overdrive. I should replay that, and guess I should try hover at some point too - I was really put off that by the mention of stealth missions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
