The ultimate goal is to grab these cans and get to the colored arrows before the cops stop you. Cans of paint are positioned around the level, floating and spinning, waiting to be captured. Performing tricks and earning points isn't the focus of the game, however. Gameplay involves skating around a 3D environment with the ability to trick and grind off all manner of objects. If it all sounds terribly grim, take heart the game presents all of this with a light and colorful demeanor, so that even when there are tanks trying to blow you to pieces, it's impossible to take it all very seriously.

There are the "hell-hath-no-fury" Love Shockers, sporting broken hearts that make them crave broken dreams, the monstrous Poison Jam, who've taken the horror movie motif just a step too far, and the techno-l33t Noise Tanks, who use their mechanical to harass anyone who gets in their way. The districts are also inhabited by a specific gang, each significantly less benevolent than the G.G.s, and each only too happy to cause as much mischief as humanly possible. The game is divided up amongst the three districts of Tokyo-to, each with its own distinct artistic and functional style. Technique is the second skill, which reflects the agility and skating ability of the character, while Graffiti is the third, which denotes how well, how fast, and how difficult a pattern you can perform while spraying your tag. The first skill is Power, which reflects how much damage one can take before losing a life. Players control the group known as the G.G.s, and when starting the game they will have three different characters to choose from, each proficient in one of three skills important to the game. Such is the concept behind Jet Grind Radio, the in-line graffiti-painting title by Smilebit. And it wouldn't hurt to save your territory and take some more along the way.
the evil Rokkaku Corporation is behind it all, but for what dark end? Time for you, as a member of the G.G.'s a prominent local "social club," to switch on everyone's favorite pirate radio station, Jet Set Radio, and hit the city to discover the sordid secrets of Rokkaku. Guns, knives, clubs, Apaches with stinger missiles - they aren't above anything in their quest to remove the defacers from Tokyo-to.īut this new push to eliminate the fairly harmless gangs from the city isn't just a public service campaign. Blood, after all, is easier to clean up than spray paint, and so they find it acceptable to lob just about any manner of artillery possible at the offending parties. The hoodlums' choice method of travel are in-line skates, now juiced by the powerful element known as Nitronium, giving these roller rockets the ability to jet around the city with nimble prowess.Īs one might imagine, however, the local authorities don't appreciate this constant strife in the least. Turf in Tokyo-to isn't claimed by guns or baseball bats, but rather with spray paint and graffiti skills. The various gangs that inhabit the city are locked in a serious battle, but not of blood and bullets. There's a turf war going on in Tokyo-to, a mysterious Asian city of unknown location, and things are about to get messy.
Sometimes the camera does get a bit bothersome since if you're in a tight spot, it might give you a strange display. (It was called Jet Set Radio in Japan and Europe.) Infact, some people maintain that this title is better than Jet Grind, since the US version is Americanised to some extent and the songs etc. You start off with some basic training moves and then move onto more advanced stuff. I won't give you any more details since the story line is very unique (and funny.). These gangs compete with each other and you basically control the GG's (one particular group.). In an imaginary city called Tokyo-To, there are gangs of kids that move around on powered roller blades and paint graffiti all over the city. With a catchy storyline, and some excellent cel-shaded graphics to boot, this game is something every dreamcast owner should atleast get a taste of. Jet Set Radio is a game that is unique, in every sense of the word.
