This is one of the top games of the year. It is set in the future over in japan. you try to outrun the cops and rival gangs while you spray paint your logo all over town. You also get other people to join your crew by matching their moves, and if you succeed, the they will become members of your gang. The graphics in this game were reminiscient of the old Playstation game Parappa the Rappa, but the controls were much different. Imagine pressing buttons in tune with a beat, to controlling monster tricks that you can do anywhere! This is one of the great games of the year!

As original as it gets!

This is why I love SEGA! When they make games like this, it shows that they are thinking up NEW ideas and that they care about their fan base! This game is very, VERY FUN! It's so original. You select a character (and characters they are!) and head out to the streets of Tokyoto. You then have to skate around on seemingly endless stages tagging walls and avoiding the authorities! It is simply impossible to not enjoy this game! I found myself actually swinging to the music, too! It's a very fun and original game, and you shouldn't pass it up! Go on, give it a try! I know you'll love it!

Very entertaining

When I first saw screen shots of Jet Grind Radio, the graphics impressed with its unique cartoon-like appearance. I purchased an import version of this game titled Jet SET Radio and was thoroughly satisfied with the quality of it. The idea of skating around a city and painting graffiti while evading cops, helicopter, and tanks sounds good. And fortunately it plays just as well. Tricks are easy to perform (since most are automatic) but fun nonetheless. Music is up-beat and very 'Japanese'. Althoug I haven't play the American version of this game, I hear from editors of videogaming magazines that the two versions are identical except the American version boasts more added features than the Japanese version.

If this game sucks, it's your fault, not the game's

TRUST me, the control and cameras in this game are perfect. You don't need perfect timing to land on narrow spaces either. Play this for an hour or two and anyone can master how to jump from railing to railing and grind down (or up) the streets. The graphics are awesome but once the game starts and you're busy trying to paint all over the city while evading cops, tanks, and helicopters, you don't have time to notice it really. Honestly though, I felt that the graphics could have used a little touch up here and there (for instance, the trees in this game look kinda crappy). Do not worry though, since this game boasts great gameplay and SOUND! Jet Set Radio actually deserves 96 out of 100 but since amazon only has a 5 star rating system, 96 rounds up to a 5 out of 5. blah blah blah... just play the game and you'll like it.

Jet Grind Radio is the opitomy of an original game. This game has great artwork and gameplay. Smilebit, the design team that created JGR, did what it thought people would like. They (Smilebit) say that "...we're not discouraged with the fact that JGR bombed in Japan, it's much more well suited for American gamers...". JGR is a inline skate/grafiti simulator -- the first ever! The skating part feels like a simplified version the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, while the tagging (the actual grafity making process) feels like adance simulator because have to make the same motion as the on-screen arrow. Over all this game is a must-have for any Dreamcast user.

5 stars aint egnough!

ok well for those of you who have played the game you can tell by my name that i love it! JSR is the best thing ever to happen to your DC (well PSO comes close)! if you like inline sk8ing or freestyle walking at all, or just enjoy the magnifacant art of grafiti this game is for you. with funky fresh beat (no pun intended) and other great characters this game is sure to hit it big in the states. it has all the right parts, grafix, sound, and most of all the voice acting isnt cheezy. the only complaint i have heard was that the visuals look too much like a 2D game (PSH stupid sk8e boarders), IMHO the effects look awsome! i am a big fan of Manga and american comics such as Transmetropolitan and death and this game looks like it coulda jumped of the pages in to 3D (well if those comics were about punks expressing themselves through vandalism). and most of all who could resist a game where you put grafiti on the chief of police's back! not me that is for sure... anyway long story short; JSR is a funky fresh baddass cool game worth the mony you will pay for it... the only complaint i have is the new name... Jet GRIND Radio? whats with that? well anyway im outta here now.

Most Original Concept in many years...

This game has such style and character that you haven't seen since the dawn of the original Nintendo. This is the most hip and fresh game that I have ever laid my eyes upon. Granted, Rob Zombie is not the best representative of "hip", but trust me...everything else is. The animation is simply amazing. Outlined 3D polygons on top of motion-captured characters...hugely detailed sets with an impressionistic style. One little glitch is that the viewing distance is not as long as you would like it to be...items can be just out of view, even if you can see the background just underneath it. And the camera angles can be a bit of a nuisance as I read in a preview long ago. If you get stuck in a corner, you can't really use the re-center tool effectively.

But make no mistake, the music and visuals leave an indelible impression on your mind that you will remember for a long time. The soundtrack includes the aforementioned Zombie, Jurassic 5, Mixmaster Mike and many many more tracks. And after the initial storyline, you can skate around the vast locations and race the CPU, make your own tags, etc. One thing I would love to see is a two or more player mode where you challenge each other to tags, or races. It'd be fun to even just skate around with your friends online and tag each other. Capture the flag, the possibilities are endless with the broadband adaptor. Till then, here's to the most original game in recent years. Great job Smilebit.

Jet Grind Radio - most original & fun game of the year!

This game, I have to say, is the best game of the year. It's its own genre, it breaks out of all the previous molds that games adhered to and delivers a game worthy of your hard-earned money. The game has a great sound track, featuring Rob Zombie among others. And it is the music which this game revolves around. The underground radio station, Jet Set Radio, plays the bgm, which go's great with the game. The game itself is super fun, you run around the city tagging it up all the while grinding and doing simple, but cool tricks. What it all boils down to is that you NEED this game, so go get it.

OMG! Sega is dominating in terms of quality games.

Once again Sega has released another killer game for their Dreamcast system, and it's awesome as hell. The game is just so fun to play yet so simplistic. THe graphics are just...really, really nice looking. I mean, it looks like a really well-animated alternacartoon or something. The controls are tight, the gameplay is a blast, and even the music (mostly J-Pop, while the New York stage has a Rob Zombie track), is great. All I can say is that with games like these, Sega currently has the market at the moment when it comes to solid fun to play games. This game is one of the reasons to own a Dreamcast.

Awesome

This is a great game. I first thought this game would be weird inline skating around painting grafiete around everywhere. The concept is pretty cool aculaly. When I first started, I was obsessed with the game. My friend and me have beat the game and it was fun. Now we are just trying to get a jet rating on all the levels to get all characters.
