Disadvantages: see below

With Professor K rip-rapping the streets of Tokyo-to through his pirate radio station, Jet Set Radio, you play the intrepid graffiti gang, the GG?s.

Your task? Try and stop the other graffiti groups - the heart-breaking Love Shockers; the chemical chomping Poison Jam and the metallic maniacs the Noise Tanks ? of Tokyo-to trying to invade your turf and subsequently invade theirs.

Your group? At first, you play as Beat and with some help from Gum and Tab (who show you basic maneuvers); the GG?s are formed. Along the route, other graffiti artists and skaters challenge the GG?s to follow certain moves across parts of Tokyo-to. If you win, the challenger joins the GG?s.

The plot? Although the consequences of your actions negate the linear storyline, the way you can play and interpret the plot can vary. The main twist comes into the game after about the seventh stage ? Cube and Combo ask to join the GG?s in exchange for help to find their friend, Coin. Cube, Combo and Coin used to rule Grind Square, now taken over by the dreaded Golden Rhinos!

The game? The idea of each stage ? after choosing a member of the GG?s to take to the streets ? is either to spray your GG style graffiti in designated areas or spray your GG style graffiti over other groups. To successfully complete the stage, not only does the graffiti have to be everywhere but you have to have had survived a ferocious onslaught that includes machine gun fire, crazed stun-gun operators, the occasional tank and vast arrays of car bombs.

Not only is the Jet Set Radio idea original, it has been applied in the best possible way in this graffiti spraying, nauseating, psychedelic, funkadelic kick-butt game. 10/10 ? Roll on Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox)
