Jet Set Radio

Released2000
The government is attempting to silence the kids of Tokyo, but with their Overdrive Magnetic-Motor Skating Shoes, the cops will have to catch 'em first. The Jet Grind Radio program keeps the kids unified and inspired to fight for their rights of expression, which includes graffiti art. Grab your spray cans and design your own piece on one of the immense walls in the 3D, interactive city. You might be forced to protect your territory from adversaries that want to take over your neighborhood. Join up with like-minded hip individuals that will help you keep your area the way you want it. The cops will be after you too, so you'll have to be quick. The 10 cartoon-style characters are pumped up with polygons so they come alive in 3D on Dreamcast. Uniqueness is key to these kids and each character stands apart with exclusive abilities and style. They like to show off too, and with 18 missions, there's plenty of time to impress. It's fast, it's fun, and it's definitely funky.

About This Game

DJ Professor K broadcasts the Jet Set Radio pirate radio station to the graffiti-spraying, rollerblading gangs of Tokyo-to. The GGs compete for territory against the all-female Love Shockers in Shibuya-Cho, the cyborg Noise Tanks in the Benten entertainment district, and the kaiju-enthusiast Poison Jam in the Kogane dockyard. Captain Onishima pursues all of them with riot police and military hardware. After the GGs defeat all three rival gangs in turf battles, each drops a fragment of a mysterious vinyl record. Professor K reveals that the complete vinyl has the power to summon a demon.
