There's no balance system to the grinds either. The skating aspect of the game is so much fun though, although it consists of grinding and wall riding most of the time. The only reason to play over and over again is unlock more skaters and because the world if Jet Set Radio Future is so beautiful that you can't help but to want to explore every inch of it as much as you can. It's not Xbox Live compatible and the in-game multiplayer modes are completely avoidable. Otherwise you may be forced to listen to that annoying 'helloooo Allison' song 50 million times.Ĭreating customized Graffiti Designs are alot of fun but overall there really isn't that much replay value to the game.

I'd highly recommend plugging your iPod or Zune into your Xbox 360 and play along to your own playlist. The music is a nice mix of dance and pop but gets old pretty quickly. Bright colors, futuristic anime cell-shaded art style. It's a shame that Sega never made a sequel to it. This game is now Xbox 360 compatible which is why it's suddenly become in demand again.

Answering one of the very few complaints that Dreamcasters had of the original game, Jet Set Radio Future also offers multiplayer options. Characters move even faster through these larger environments and responsive controls encourage big trick combos. The game world of Tokyo-to is now much bigger, with areas that are more interactive. The defining cel-shaded graphical style includes new visual effects, such as motion blur and more meticulously animated character movement. Many favorite characters return but this sequel features a new story the ability to perform more tricks. This sequel is designed to retain and enhance the innovative gameplay and exquisite presentation that were so engaging in the original. Though more a critical than commercial success, Sega's late-2000 release of Smilebit's Jet Grind Radio (titled Jet Set Radio in Japan) had an impact that continues to influence the field of game development. Return to the futuristic streets of Tokyo-to for more extreme inline skating and artistic turf-marking in Jet Set Radio Future.
