Jet Set Radio Future: JSRF is the perfect sequel to one of the most original games ever

100% score
JSRF is the sequel to Sega's masterpiece Jet Grind Radio. Many of my friends are reluctant to even try the game because they think it is a cheap imitation of Tony Hawk's Proskater. JSRF is not about compiling trick scores, it is about liberation, it is the type of game that sparks a revolution. The one problem is, the only people I have met that tried it both had played the original game, and loved the new one. JSRF is a very early game in the X-Box history, but is probably still one of the most advanced. The cel-shaded graphics are the best around, and are full of bright neon and other novel effects. The soundtrack is a perfect reflection of the game, one will hear music in this game that they probably would not hear anywhere else, it is a welcome change from games that feature played-out radio hits or terrible indy music. The story of the game makes much more sense if you have played the original, but it is still as engulfing as anything Square can think up. JSRF should have been the game to start the X-Box revolution, and to bring Sega to the top of gamers minds once more. The problem is, no one played it, a problem plaguing Sega's masterpieces, even if you are not a Sega fan, please put your fanboy biases behind you and experience the revolution.
