breaks my heart to give this game only a 7/10 because if everything worked ideally it'd be a 10. the atmosphere and style of this game are honestly perfect and when things are going well skating is fluid and the movement feels incredible. this doesn't happen nearly enough however - camera and controls are both fucked at least on the pc port and it makes for incredibly frustrating moments that aren't a result of the game's intention. i'd often get hit by the people i was supposed to tag with graffiti only to have that hit turn me in the complete opposite direction and make it so much harder to catch up with them
i need to play jet set radio future because if what i've heard about these problems being resolved while still keeping the incredible music and style of this game is true then it's probably a perfect game tbh

(edit: it's an 8/10 ive thought about this game every day since playing it)
