Jet set radio graffiti souls 57/27/2023 ![]() There is no greater diss than marking your territory (in spray paint form, you dirty birdies) on a rival gang member's back. The other type of levels have you chasing after three moving targets of rival gang members with the objective to spray each ten times on the back within the time limit. Once all of these spots have been tagged over by The GGs, you successfully complete the level. The goal of most levels is to find and spray over other gangs' graffiti with your own. It's much less like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and more like a 3D platformer, except instead of a pair of running shoes, your characters wear a pair of inline skates. Jet Set Radio has you controlling one of the members of The GGs as you skate, jump, grind, skitch, and spray your way through one of over a dozen individual levels. ![]() Not the best of ideas to skate in the street. Tokyo-to feels even more like an inviting place to skate, grind, and cause trouble for the man in with this HD iteration. Finally, speaking of details, the levels have seen their geometry upgraded by a sizable amount. The characters are modeled with great detail, too. ![]() The colors are bright, vibrant, and pop out splendidly. The original was a looker and still is today, but this HD remastering is on a whole different level. It's pretty in stills, but it's even better in motion.įirst, I'd like to just say how fantastic the new high-definition visuals for this digital version of Jet Set Radio really is. While the art style certain holds up to modern standards, the actual gameplay is another story. However, I didn't actually own a Dreamcast, so the downloadable version on the PlayStation Vita (also available on the PS3 and 360) was my first go at it. Jet Set Radio (known as Jet Grind Radio originally in North America) was one of those games, and it is well known for being an eclectic title, as well as for pioneering the cel-shaded art style. Oh, dear Dreamcast, how you met a cruel and quick fate, but your library will forever be heralded for the wild, wacky, and wonderful games you gave the industry and our hobby.
