Jet Set Radio (DC) Reviews

The first game I got for the Dreamcast was Jet Set Radio, is a visually stunning title that still stands up extremely well today, and is notable for making the use of cel-shaded graphics popular in games - thus, later iterations of the Zelda and Prince of Persia franchises owe a lot to this superb game. The game pits you as a skater, ...  Read the complete review

Jet Set Radio is the European version of the Japanesse skating game Jet Grind Radio. The game involves roller skating around cityscapes and graffiting walls and vehicles. The level designs utilising the cel-shaped style are superb and a nice smooth cartoon look which is a nice change to the realstic style of other skating games. This style also ...  Read the complete review

Jet Set Radio is one of the coolest games that you can purchase with your Dreamcast. The idea of the game is simple; you must blade around the cities painting the town red with your own personalised graffiti. This may sound like a weird game that is because it is! The game is not actually like a normal game, the graphics are like manga comics and ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Jet Set Radio was released in November 2000 for the Dreamcast, and came very highly recommended by everyone in the games industry. The basic premise of the game is that you, the player, are a teenager living in the city of Tokyo-to, who is 'naffed off' with the rules and regulations forced upon you. You decide to rebel, and as a ...  Read the complete review

Well actually it didnt due to the usual Sega of Europes cack handed advertising attempts (I cant comment for elsewhere but the commitment to advertising in the UK is woeful) which consisted of a few shabby A3 posters here and there. This is possibly why a game as good as Jet Set Radio didnt sell as well as it should have. What is JSR? ...  Read the complete review

If any proof were needed that it is Sega who deserve the title of 'best developer/publisher in the world' (in the current climate at least - I'm sure it will change once GameCube is released and Nintendo and Rare start releasing games again), then 'Jet Set Radio' provides it. It is one of the most original, graphically ...  Read the complete review

I managed to resist buying the game when it was first released, then over the Christmas period, then through the January sales, but finally couldn't help myself only recently for a bargain £20. I read all the reviews I could find for the game and even played a demo of the first level, it was amazing, why I waited so long I don't know. ...  Read the complete review

I was very interesting in playing this game after reading the plot and listening to other people's opinions, so when I finally got hold of it I wasn't sure that it would live up to the expecations set by those around me. The game centres on a gang of rollerbladers in a futuristic japanease town. Their 'mission' is to ...  Read the complete review

Jet Set Radio is a unique Dreamcast experience. It is yet another reason I am baffled by the long term shortcomings of the DC sales figures. Skate around cities in glorious graphical excelence and attempt to graffiti everywhere and avoid the cops at the same time. The aim is to graffiti rival gangs areas by using button combinations, as ...  Read the complete review

As a playstation2 owner I think dreamcasts are quite good, as I like virtua tennis and shenmue. Some of the games I think are a bit poor but it do have some good games. When I heard my friend raving about jet set radio I thought I would have to play it at his house. When I played it I was disgraced as the graphics are rubbish, the people looked ...  Read the complete review

I have only been had a ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I saw the screen shots I knew this game was a winner; it is just beautiful. They use a special type of graphics called Manga design which makes the graphics look more impressive than most new PS2 games. The Manga shading makes the animation extremely cartoon-like. The games’ upbeat amazing sound track is also extremely good in ...  Read the complete review

In the smoke and mirrors surrounding the October launch of the PS2, it'd be a crime to overlook the planned Euro/US release of one of Sega's most original and captivating titles yet. Not long out in Japan, Jet Set Radio (to be re-titles Jet Grind Radio in the US) has been touted as a cross between Tony Hawk's Skateboarding and arcade ...  Read the complete review
