Jet Set Radio

[crackdude]

NCSX has it brand new for $58.
The soundtrack CD is pretty cool, but the other extras aren't really that great.

Yeah I know! It would cost 70 with shipping.
But when I go to the shipping options I get a small error message bellow:

XPR: The requested service is unavailable between the selected locations.

I've been wondering about this for months.. What should I do?

Sometimes NCSX posts their inventory on eBay too.
Maybe see if it's up for auction there, and try ordering it that way. Might avoid whatever issue's going on.

JSRF is by far the better game in almost every area , bar the police Chief (who was pants and underused compared to the chief inthe 1st game)

Really? I would have thought you wouldn't appreciate the dumbed down tagging system.

It just sped the whole game up for , JSR is painfully slow in comparison (not helped by the 30 fps)  . That and the far bigger worlds and better stage design makes JSRF the better game for me

JSRF was a better game all around. Still haven't finsihed JGR on the Dreamcast, yet. :/

I thought that the original JSR had much more color. It may seem like nothing, but it really makes the game more joyful.. The analog movements to tag walls also were a lot of fun.

On the other hand, JSRF finally got rid of the time limits and was, as mentioned, sped up.

Yep, like i've said so many times, both games feel unique and diferent, but I can't say I like one better tahn the other. I used to love the first much more than the second, but after really giving JSRF a good try recently (well a year or two ago), I ended up deciding I liked it as much as the first one.

Whenever I go back to the original JSR I am a little let down that the boost grind and trick grind sytem isn't present in the game. I think that was one of the best additions to JSRF.

If there ever was to be another JSR/F made I'd really like to see the art direction lean more towards the brighter pallete of the orignal JSR game. Future was cool but I am not into the gritty style that it introduced.

  That's definately something I like more about the second game. Time limits should have gone extinct after the NES.

I never really played Jet Set Radio Future. But I wanted to try.
The funny thing about it is that it seemed much more open-world and tagging was made simpler.

The soundtrack wasn't as good methinks. At least the bits I heard.
But that Concept of Love song was pretty good.

Call me crazy, but I'd love to see the next JSR game set in the wild west. Call it "Steam Dream Rodeo"! :D I'm kidding.

But a wild west game with JSRF mechanics would be rather fun.

In high school, a buddy and I drew mock art for a video game that we envisioned called Steamgear Brigand which followed a gang of teenage outlaws who stole horses, robbed trains and battled the evil sheriff. Good times...

This is actually one of the most awesome ideas I've heard in a while..


As for the talk about JSR/F soundtracks, I just played so much more JSRF that the songs are burned in my brain. I can't remember quite well the ones in JSR.
Gotta get me some JSR again one of these days..

[Barry the Nomad]

Thanks! :D

Yeah, the JSR/JSRF soundtracks are all on my iPod, but I'd really like to get my hands on the physical CDs. Unfortunately a lot of the ones on ebay are bootlegs, and the legit ones are $40+

My favorite JSRF song at the moment:  [youtube:2hg9um87]RxPbu3CQluA[/youtube:2hg9um87]

and the Ollie King remix is awesome:

Really wish I played Ollie King more than once

[upsidedown fuji]

Holy crap that Technopathetic remix is awesome. I need to hunt down the Ollie King album.

[Barry the Nomad]

75% of Ollie King is JSRF remixes. :D

I played it a few years back at a GameWorks, good times.
