Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox)

Jet Set Radio Future is the sequel to the beloved DC game, Jet Grind Radio. As part of the GG's, an inline skating gang, you grind around the futuristic Tokyo of 2024, tagging specific areas of the city.

A few years back Sega released Jet Set Radio to critical acclaim. In fact, many said that it was one of Sega's best offerings on the now obsolete Dreamcast console. The game was a fountain of original ideas and it also set a new graphical standard for console games with its eye-popping cel-shading technique.

From the beginning it was very easy to quickly get the hang of the game and to produce some flashy, satisfying tricks. The basic premise is an 'arcade' game which sees the gang of rollerbladers skating around a futuristic Tokyo using grafitti to overcome the Poison Jam gang and the corporate police. The game creates a number of different ways for you to engage with it; you can complete tasks, learn new tricks or just skate around knocking over pedestrians who cry such complaints as "That's ...  Read the complete review
