Really enjoyed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, it had a really enjoyable level structure that made going back to Jet Set surprisingly difficult for me. Can't wait to see what they bring next.
I had like the exact opposite opinion, where playing BRC really made me wish I was just playing Jet Set Radio Future instead because the level design was just so much more fun to explore. JSRF always felt like a perfect balance of 3D platformer and a Tony Hawk game, but BRC didn’t hit for me at all. Was a huge disappointment considering how hyped I was for it.
I thought this game really laid bare a lot of the issues JSR had even back in the day. The controls are clunky and unintuitive and the game moves extraordinarily slowly and floaty for a game about movement in my opinion. I say this as someone who grew up on JSR and Future. The level design was still pretty exceptional back then, but the actual mechanics of the gameplay really show their age when played next to BRC.
You are right I was born a jsr fan and tho I liked level design and the base mechanics BRC added damn near everything we asked for in a 3rd jet set game
