Maybe cheating but Dreamcast is 6th gen

What's the better game and why is it Jet Set Radio XBLA version?

When Jet Set Radio Future came out, it had a small but overall quiet reaction. Most people had agreed the Dreamcast JSR/Jet Grind Radio was a better game and decried the casualization of Future even if they appreciated it.

Now 20 years later, there's been at least 4 projects trying to recreate Future's gameplay specifically.Even with people liking Grind's QTE graffiti style I don't think its ever been implemented in those inspired games
Where as JSR's re-release 8 years after Future led to reception souring on it, with people calling it unplayable or terribly dated. People have moaned for 12 years about Future not being available like JSR is. For both games there's probably more fan media in the last 10 years than the 2000's. Its impressive what an afterlife its had despite 2 decades without a new game, and last being featured in a kart racer. You would think these games sold better than they did. I don't think adult players back then appreciated these games as much as people who were kids back then, or the generation of kids who've played them since.

Lets have a discussion about the Jet set radio games without outright claiming one game is better or trashing the other. Talk about your favorite aspects of each, what you didn't like, favorite memories, and so on.

Which is the superior one? Also, is JSRF easy to emulate these days or is an Xbox still the ideal experience?
