Jet Set Radio (2000 Video Game) User Reviews

Fresh and stylish, an overall great game

This is one of the better action games of its time. It offers great gameplay to the player, with some of the best designed levels ever seen in a videogame, good control, quite some challenge and a great sense of freedom.

It would have only been a good game if its highlights stopped here, but the truth is this game offers much more, specially in terms of aesthetics and overall style. This game pioneered the cel-shading technique to graphics, which give the game a somewhat cartoony feel without having to renounce to full 3D graphics.

Finally, the soundtrack is also top-notch, including a big selection of great music of quite a good range of styles, but without losing any of the personality of the game. This game was not a big seller, but I feel very few people could really explain why.

One of the best games made

This has to be one of the best games on the Dreamcast and iPhone. Cel-Shaded graphics and the cartooned models make this game great!

Gameplay may be good but the controls are slippery, but then you get used to it I recommend that you should buy this game on XBOX LIVE and the App Store! Now, they do have a notice that Graffiti IS illegal and should not do it. I think is is a nice way for people can try not to to Graffiti

The Soundtrack is one of the best things that this game has and the levels and story is very interesting. Also, the way of recruiting players is kinda weird

Nice Style

If you like good music, good fun, and a good challenge, it's hard to go wrong with Jet Grind Radio. It's fast paced, unique and very hard to put down. The first thing that will grab you is the style of the game. The graphics are very nicely cel shaded and the music will keep you jamming along nodding your head. The music isn't all golden, but for the most part, it's cool.

The gameplay is rather simple but very fun. Skate around, find red arrows, spray paint your tag. All the while avoid cops, tear gas, dogs, even missile launching helicopters. It's hard and frustrating at times, but it's oh so worth it. You'll keep coming back for more and more.

The game stands up to repeat plays, and the style never wears thin. The story is entertaining and well told by DJ K. Unlike so many games where the story between levels is the dull part, you'll be jamming along with DJ K all the way through. It's quite hard not to be brought into the Jet Set Radio universe. It's very well done.
