I wasn't a big fan of the original, but taking out the "joystick sweeps" is a good thing, IMO. I didn't mind doing them, but the fact that you were forced to wait for the prompt to do the next one really irked me.

Finally had a chance to borrow my friend's DC today. Playing JGR right now (well a little before supper, and then ASAP after my Japanese homework). This game rocks. If JSRF sticks to the same plan as this -- even better if the sweeps are taken out, it'll be a must-buy. Very, very cool. This too is the kind of game that oughta let you play your own OST, though I imagine the ingame one will also rock.
Pretty challenging though. I haven't been able to beat any of the 2nd level maps. Nearly got the night one beaten, but there were one or two spots left and I got knocked out. Is there a quick way to get to the top of the stairs in the waterfront/housing area lvl 2 section?

OK, turns out I accidentally erased my friends game (in which he was pretty far along). He's gonna be pretty upset unless I can fix things up. Are there any cheats to pass levels and/or skip ahead really quickly? I really need to take care of this or he'll be very pissed at me.
He said he was up to the Chapter 3 Negon Sho level (night one I think), and had gotten all the characters up to that point.
I've beaten the 1st level of the neighborhood/waterfront level, and the first 2 night levels so far. Gained Mew but not Garam.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Man, this game is looking great, check out the two new trailers:

Has anyone found any in-depth reviews from Japan or elsewhere yet? Just beat JGR on my friend's DC two nights ago (lousy scores, but I just wanted to do it). Can't wait till Tuesday.

I would at least rent it Brian. I was not too high on the original either but it sounds like they changed enough things (cops aren't always after you, you no longer have to do manual graffiti, etc.) for me to like the game again. Cel animation is not necessarily for everyone, but this game looks much better than it's predecessor.

Looking at some of the vids I looks as though you can actually beat down the enemies and spray them a little more -- pretty sweet. I saw the "love letter" trailer several times yesterday, but I'd like to see the "security guard call in" one as well. -- both are available via xbox.com's site.
Sounds from some reports as though Xbox has officially sold out in Japan in one or two days, with a whole lot more being shipped there ASAP. (read some reports at teamxbox.com).
Things are looking good.

It seems the hype has died down since the release. Did anyone buy this game? Best Buy had a ton of copies when I was there last Saturday.....

I guess this is one of those games I just can't get into. Beautiful to look at, but I don't like it. I didn't like the first game either so I'm probably biased. I just can't get comfortable with the controls.
If this game is giving me trouble I had better stay away from Gun Valkrye.
