Advantages: Graphics, Sound

Disadvantages: None

One of the most amazingly original games ever made. The setting is in Tokyoto and you are a member of a graffiti gang. Your first mission is to recruit members by following their moves. This is also your opportunity to get used to the control system, which, is easily one of the most intuitive I?ve ever used.

So the setting isn?t the most original but all that is overcome by the excellent game play. You basically have to go around the different areas of the town and graffiti over the tag that a member of your rival gang has put there. Before you put the paint there though you have to collect the graffiti cans. The larger the tag the more paint cans it uses up. You do not just simply press a button to make these tags though you actually have to steer the paint can in the right direction. This adds an extra bit of skill to the game. If you still think that this is easy then try doing it with tanks, helicopters and police chasing you!

To get away though you can grind with your special jet rollerblades along walls, fences and rooftops. You can also grab on to the back of a car!! All these are done with the simplest of controls - jump and run.

Additional features are that you can create custom tags or collect the ones scattered around the levels. The music is also amazingly catchy and sounds a bit like a gorrilaz track.

The graphics are also top class and they have used cell shading techniques to give an anime feel to the graphics whilst still being in true 3D. The quality is brilliant throughout the game.

Overall, it is a game worthy of the highest accolade being both original and high quality.
