ジェットセットラジオ

Great style, great music, but cruel controls.

"I much preferred Tony hawk and SSX games."

This.

As much as the gameplay is clunky, it's very satisfying to master it and pull of some funky tricks. It's a game that most will find antiquated and broken, but there is an art to mastering this game's awkward controls. The level design is quite great, which is what makes mastering the unwieldy controls so much fun. Better than most think.

Maybe I'll try again the next few days, but I just didn't feel like it at some point.

I love the Dreamcast, and I would expect to love this game for its art direction and setting, but I just find the core gameplay to be tiresome and frustrating. I like that the stages are modelled after real locations in Tokyo, but I never once found the gameplay to be remotely fun.

Aesthetically really cool but way too clunky gameplay wise

easily to see why it was a cult hit, but its very clunky. If you want to play Jet Set Radio these days, you boot up Cyberfunk Bomb Rush
