Get Set For Jet Set Radio PC

Final8y · 28 Feb 2012 at 17:43

Jet Set Radio continues to be an astonishingly good looking game, over there on the last of the Segaboxes and wherever else it may have popped up over the years. It’ll be looking even better on PC soon enough, with announcement that a high definition digital download version of the game is due on XBLA, PSN and my computer this summer. Maybe it will be on your computer as well, or maybe you’re not yet convinced that its scratchy audio treats and cel shaded visuals are for you. Look at this trailer, which is still lovely today several graphical and musical trends after release. This was before all game promotional material legally required use of dubstep or that BWAARRRRR Inception noise.

I was more a airblade fan, similar game that came out when tony hawks games were all the rage.

Well it has skates and tricks and missions so maybe a bit. It's about spraypainting, gangs and music/style

Not at all really, it's a 3rd person action/adventure game where the character happens to rollerskate instead of walk/run

Airblade was good fun I sucked at it tho

Why can't they make great games like these any more?

I spent £16 on a working dreamcast a few weeks ago just to replay it

I had JSRF on Xbox, played it on the 360 though and some sections suffered from horrible slowdown so I only got so far.

Will be nice to play it properly! Although I seem to remember the controls being quite awkward.

Except that one was Jet Set Radio Future.

This re-release is the awesome Dreamcast original.

Rollerblade/skates, graffiti tagging, outrunning the law, and it was also the first game to feature fully cel-shaded graphics back in the day.
