The first one on Dreamcast was the only one I played. Very comfy game with cool tunes and visuals.

Also this game is very cheap on Steam but I don't know how it performs.

The sequel is too bloated and has worse level design, especially the pyramid area.

Oh, and the character redesigns are shit.

loved the first game. Currently playing through future right now, and I really don't see the appeal of it. The levels are fuckhuge with no rhythm, no timer, no graffiti controls. Exploring tokyo-to was fun in the first game, but its just a chore in future. Fuck the music isn't even half as good.

I love it.
Once I actually began to learn the level layouts and the best routes through each level to conserve my momentum, my enjoyment went from a 6/10 to a 9/10.
Also, the fact that every level gives you exactly enough tags before the second wave of cops show up so you can hit every big tag in the level is a really good trick of the design which gets overlooked. When I realised that, I was blown away.

Not really. Maybe in the past but JSR is the only one that remains in popular consciousness.

>>3811913
Then the game becomes too easy and you also lose an important part of the score/ranking system.
Past the first playthrough, the police are a non-issue because you'll have a better understanding of each level and how to escape from them. Removing the time limit takes away most of the remaining challenge in trying to accomplish this as quickly as possible.
Don't wish for the game to become easier just because you're having trouble. You should wish for yourself to play better.

Here's a pro-tip: Use the map to see where the remaining tags are.
Here's another pro-tip: The police reinforcements will appear after a set amount of red tags have been hit. In every level, this number is the same as the amount of Medium/Large/Extra Large tags that will cause you to stop moving and input the combo. By going through the level and tagging every single M/L/XL tag first, when the reinforcements appear you'll only need to tag the small tags as you skate past without having to stop.

True, but they took the idea from the final boss of the original JSR with the arena shit.

>>3810237
Explore better the areas and get use to them, learn how to wall jump, to grind at certain rails, do tricks and combos over and over and over.
The sewer level is fun as hell. And some basement one with stairs and rails. That hill city one with phone rails is also pretty fun, as the night city one. You can go around and around in these areas doing combos non-stop

>>3810375
People talk about Future because of its soundtrack and because of wanting a version to digital formats.

JSRF had a better gameplay and combo trick system, but took out some of the good shit from the original version. The game is easier compared to JSR, because some of the JET ranking in JSR could be annoying to get.
In short, JSR have a more arcade feeling which some enjoy more, but both games are pretty damn good and fun.

I saw Future at Savers and didn't think anything of it since it didn't look that expensive on pricecharting should I ever decide I wanted it. Did I make a mistake?

>> No.3821253

>>3821225
The price of a game doesn't indicate its quality.

And the reaosn it's not expensive is because it was included as a pack-in with the Xbox in 2002.
