I love critically harsh reviews of old games like these, because these kinds of games usually mean nostalgia for a lot of people, so it's nice to have a review that more accurately portrays what we should expect

I am sorry to hear that brother keep up the strong my brother.

This might be an obscure game but you should review the game B-Boy, it’s a break dancing game for PS2

The original jsr is a bit painful, and jsrf is a HUGE improvement. But the original feels very rewarding when you learn how to play and master the maps, the grafitti system is also more grounded and makes you feel more like you're drawing the artpiece, plus you can pick different characters if you dont like doing motions on another one. Some players also complain about the lack of resistance the sequel has and prefer the arcade nature of the go. Jsrf is my favorite, but I respect both. Bomb rush cyberpunk is the best of both worlds. Great video, I just wanted to add this.

You should definitely try the Maximum Remix version of the first Dave Mirra. It's essentially Dave Mirra 1.5 with an expanded soundtrack and a lot more levels

I have been advocating for JSRF to have a remaster for years. It's my favorite out of the 2.

I think this may be a miscommunication from the community. Personally, I refer to Jet Set Radio Future as Jet Set Radio. But that may just be me.

I hope you're doing okay pal

Welcome back, man! Hope you're feeling better!

try psobb on ephinea server youll hate the combat till you learn it, kinda same issue jsf has awful camera controls

I'm pretty sure that the common consensus is that the original JSR isn't that great of a game, and that jsrf is better in every way. 98% of why people love the original het set radio is for it's soundtrack, the other 2 percent is for the graphics, story/style, and characters. The only people who are saying that the actual game is great are people that haven't actually played it in 20 years. Jsrf, while not perfect, is so much of a better game that it's not even funny. While I prefer the soundtrack of the first game, the soundtrack in jsrf is still amazing and fits the edgier, more futuristic vibe the game is going for. Unfortunately, jsrf is stuck on the og Xbox and isn't even backwards compatible, so pretty much no one can play it. I still feel lucky that my Xbox from when I was a kid still works and that I was able to find a copy of it at a decently low price

two of the greatest games ever :)

8:04 - 8.14 Pretty much me when I played Spyro 1. I admire simplicity, but not at the cost of monotonous, unevolved gameplay. Take care of yourself. This was a decent video, despite some bad popping here and there. This will be my last comment on your channel, as I'm fully moving on to a new channel tomorrow. I'll subscribe to you with it, since I enjoy your content plenty. Have a good New Year's Eve and Happy New Year. ❄️👍

You might like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk more. Has tricks. The graffiti is a lot quicker. Everything is more snappy. Feels better to play as well Still an arcady thing and less action sports. Its more of an action platformer with light tricking and such.

Love your stuff as always. As for your opening yeah same. I have some deep emotional cuts about the death of a loved one that just drains my december. So i get it man. Glad your feeling even a little better. I try to avoid the parasocial stuff but yeah. We're here for you.

JSRF is an incredible game, and i feel similar about the first one's problems. Now you gotta play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, you're poised to appreciate it now that you've played these two

Honestly while it hurts seeing you FLAME a game from my child, most of the critisicms and complaints about the game are valid, dosn't suprise me that you didn't enjoy the game that much, while I personally didn't mind the wonky controls, the vibes and the atomsphere were alway the main highlight of the series, its a shame we don't see more games made in this style and asthetic, thankfully we do have a couple like Hi Fi rush and bomb rush cyberfunk so there is that. Something to note about why jet set radio future isn't talked about more is that it ONLY released on the original XBOX, the original has been released on multiple platforms simply making it the more accesible game. Currently I have a copy of jet set radio future in my collection but playing it on xbox 360 the game is REALLY laggy, one day it would be nice to play it on original hardware but until then emulation is the only way I can enjoy Overall great video and don't sweat the time it took man, at least you got it out. Mental health is def important

it sounds like you were asked to review this game and decided to play it in a week or a month or so instead of just sitting with it and playing it and not making a video on it

ew that background music

No apology needed dude. Youve brought me and many others so many hours of entertainment, but above all youre human. Its great to see you back, but its even better to know youre taking care of yourself 🤘🤘🤘

Man, no need to apologize. As someone who struggles with it myself, mental health is no joke. Thank you so much for giving the suicide prevention number and words of encouragement in the opening. Another fantastic video, same great attention to detail, and an exciting teaser for the next video. You take all the time you need my guy. It's KZbin, not a broadcasting corporation. The only deadlines are the ones you set for yourself. I'd rather you take extra time for yourself between uploads if it means you're still around to upload. Believe it or not, it encourages me to stick around to watch knowing we have a similar struggle. Take care of yourself man

Yes! I'm so glad to see you back, just seeing this in my feed, I'm going to come back to this when I'm free to watch. Don't be sorry about the absence, we all got stuff going on, I'm sure nobody is looking at you with any fault for having to take a break. Once again, great to see another post from you.

Great video!

This specific episode resonated with me so much, especially since I never also got the hype around JSR. I never tried JSRF, but I did play a bit of BombRush Cyberfunk, and that game played more how I thought the JSR game would play in my mind.

Today is a good day

Hey, welcome back! And I hope you will have happier days ahead of you!

I understand mental health is important it's good to know you're ok

No need for a sorry. You took care for yourself, that's what matters. But also glad so see you posting a new video. ❤

i hope the new jet set radio is good

Mental health > anything else, brother! We're here for you and YOUR health. Take as many breaks as needed. Do what you need to in life.

I agree story was trash but gameplay was fun especially now that we have reTHAWed

My guy you coming back anytime next year? Making more videos?

Love your videos been watching since you've started when you releasing a new video though bro

I could listen to people praise this game all day lol, I rediscovered it this year after being initially unimpressed on release, and now I find that it's extremely underrated. There's a real argument to be made that it's the best game in the series. It's definitely the biggest, the most content and feature heavy. Also the hardest, in my opinion, but for all the right reasons. Its sick goals are clearly made for and respectful of longtime players, it's surprising how well designed it all is. Like I'd personally rather not be climbing around or doing rigger goals, but if the game is going to ask me to do those things, the least it could do is have the goals tied to those mechanics be well designed and challenging, and pretty much everything here is exactly that. Photo mechanics can get messy and I'm convinced they would be better if you weren't forced to manually snap your own photos, but some of the best goals in the game are designed around these photo mechanics so some messy handling is forgiveable. Lack of free skate for the pro skater characters is a huge missing feature, I would have rather had that than what I consider to be a mostly useless, poorly implemented (yet feature heavy) video editor. I don't agree with every decision here but it's easily the best in the series since Underground and arguably the best in the series period. The design and execution are there, I think people would have been more forgiving if it had the snappier physics of the PS2 titles, but I personally don't mind the reduced speeds that much since this was going for something a little more grounded. The graphics are way overhated. I get it, it's not colorful like the PS2 games, people find it too gray, but it's going for realism and if you compare the visuals to the reference photos that were taken during development they're like 95% accurate in terms of color tone and just how they generally look. They nailed exactly the look they were going for and for 2007 the visuals here can be really nice, especially on 360. It's definitely a better game than P8, and I always really liked P8. The DS version is like a long lost classic or something, it's surprisingly great. Can't believe how great these games actually were. I guarantee their failure is directly tied to EA Skate. I was really dismissive of Proving Ground on release just because of that game. Proving Ground just wasn't what I was looking for at the time of its release. Now that time has passed and we've had plenty of Skate sequels and some sim heavy alternatives, my appetite for realistic skate games has been satisfied, and Proving Ground was exactly what I needed to reconnect with a series I thought I had completely played to death. Deserves its 10/10 rating, it was as great as a Tony Hawk's game in this engine was ever going to get.

Great video 👏🏼, can you please do K-1 fighting games as well 🙏🏽

I still consider the 7th Generation version of THP8 to be superior to the 6th Generation version, as someone who grew up playing the two generations. But THUG2 is still my favorite Tony Hawk game, to this day.

Hey I'm the solo developer of Isolation Simulator and I recently uploaded a new alpha version of the game. It would be awesome if you would like to play it and give me some feedback. Thanks!

the every episode little tid bits of ubisoft hate is so genuine us

ugh airblade, the game the came across in my friends bedroom unopened, and had a blast with as he slept on the couch. good times.

i watched this review around the time it came out and it got me to try this game out. im glad i did, its definitely one of my favorites in the series!

what game are you playing in the intro it looks cool

The customization on the bikes is insane too

There is a MAJOR SECRET IN THIS GAME!. When a player starts a new profile/game. Go into settings. Change swap Grabs for Shifty option. This make the right stick move the board freely. You must use the LT with the right stick to grad. It is the only way to play……ok for the SECRET! After the first MT challenge that opens up the NEXT mountain is won the riders STANCE CHANGES to have more STYLE while buttering and board sliding. Before the arms are held out looking like the rider is trying to balance. Now the rider looks over the shoulder and has a pro slide style. No one ever had this online. I helped other discover this secret riding style change. Do it and see!

Why leave SSX on tour out? All 4 came out in 5 years. It is a fantastic game. I hate people leaving it out.. thumps down on you video for it.

My version of Project 8 that I play is a psp Mod called Tony Hawk's Project MOD! Check that out! Its by an awesome team called Iron Hawk.

the name comes from Activisions attempt to revitalize instead of rehashing their extreme sports line with 2 new installments. 1 being this, the other 'travis pastrana mtx mototrax.' unfortunately they were the last ones n the Whole series died out (with the exception of Tony Hawk).

Gotta be honest, while the games themselves are of varrying quality, I really like the story cantinuity between the two Sonic Adventure games, Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog. The series honestly did have a decent amount of world building and story connections. I find that a lot more interesting than the more one off's of more modern Sonic games. As for this game itself though, gotta be honest, I kinda hate it, but its not because they didn't put any effort into it. Kind of the opposite in fact, I feel like its really overdesigned for a 3D platformer.

It's a perfect remaster despite some criticisms. 1. I was disappointed with the Create-A-Skater. Lots of options are missing like glasses, wrist accessories, different ways of wearing hats (seriously how do we not have a single backwards cap?) and overall lacking in any kind of "whacky" customization we've known from THUG2. 2. Wallrides taking priority over grinds (this is especially frustrating for rails that are next to a wall). There's this downhill rail in the beginning of Mall where the S is located at. I even wait until my Skater is on the rail and he still wallrides when I hit the grind button. 3. I think the game could have done with more special tricks. A lot of tricks were cut from the original games for no reason. 4. I like the additions of challenges. However, I think the challenges where you have to do 100k flips, grabs, grinds, lips and manuals are way too excessive (and these only count if you land them, btw). And this is just a minor nitpick and I get that they are trying to get people to use their Create-A-Park but why do we need challenges for it? Literally just unecessary tutorial tier challenges. 5. This is only an issue on the Steam version of the game but some clothing items like Kareem's white pants are bugged. When you equip them, they don't show. It also lacks the free Vans clothing they added in an update and 2 cosmetic DLC's from the EPIC version. Regardless of all these issues, this is still an S tier Tony Hawk game for somebody like me who heavily prefers the classic career modes from 1, 2 and 3.

Best Tony Hawk game and my favorite game ever.
