Jet Set Radio Future is one of my top 10 favorite games, and this both improves on and splits off from it in lots of different ways. The skating is a beautiful blend of Jet Set Radio with some mechanics from Tony Hawk, and it's so good that it excuses a lot of the little janky things like combat and sound design and a lack of a map legend. The areas themselves are crazy big and it works so well since you can keep you combos going for a while, but there's lots of secret areas too that are fun to find and get to. The soundtrack is amazing: it sometimes hit the same peaks as JSR and JSRF but everything is consistently good unlike the two of them. The story is alright: it feels like we just saw the first act and the story before a big twist was more compelling in some ways.
If you're focused solely on gameplay and presentation, there's so much to love here. I really can't wait for DLC or BRC2, because if they can iron out the minor issues this game has while adding more content, then it'll be basically flawless.
