This is my first time ever playing this game despite playing the first in 2014 and it becoming my all time favorite game ever made that I replay nearly every year. JSRF is a breath of fresh air in a way by not being exactly like the original in how it plays, it goes for a more open approach which at times is great fun and other times extremely tedious. the gameplay is more about going through open levels in a hub that leads 3 ways and you do the objectives of the story while there's side collectibles in it's street challenges and graffiti souls. some of these tasks can be pretty frustrating especially with some of the jank the game still has and some levels I kinda despised like the skyscraper district but I did end up loving a few levels like Chuo Street and Rokkaku-Dai Heights but overall the gameplay is fun but I prefer the arcadic approach of the original

Music and Art are top notch and depending on your tastes you may prefer it over the original. I prefer the original JSR Art and Music but JSRF's Art and Music is extremely nice and some characters got a glow up like Yo-Yo who is my personal favorite character in this game

Story is basically like a soft reboot of the original and still corny, personally I prefer the "story" of the original game as the segments meshed more well together in that game in my opinion than this one.

overall JSRF is worth your time if you enjoy anything skating or anything Jet Set Radio despite some of it's shortcomings, my personal score may change depending on the 100% of the game which I'm doing right now and I enjoyed getting jet ranking on skydinosaurian square.

edit: I honestly really enjoyed 100% completion and it did up the score for me, while the golden rhino graffiti is a bit tedious the test runs are extremely fun
