Jet Set Radio

A remaster of Jet Grind Radio

Jet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game. Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about. Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.

um jogo que exala personalidade, desde a direção de arte, músicas, vozes, personagens e temas. No início é confuso, fiquei preso no tutorial sem entender muito oq fazer, até a primeira fase apresentar bem o ideia central do jogo: grafitar lugares locais públicos e fugir da polícia de patins. Assunto esse polêmico, uma expressão da arte contracultura que desafia autoridades e a própria arte, que nesse caso fica mais preocupado com a diversão, então o assunto aqui é sair voando do jeito mais legal pela cidade com um som bem funky.

seus controles são bem controversos pq são duros e difíceis, tem poucas manobras e etc mas com o tempo vc acostuma e passa a gostar, recomendo muito

If u get good, it becomes so fun

This has its own great style and personality when it comes to the art style and soundtrack that made it a cult classic to this day and I got curious about playing this game and took the opportunity to play it before it got delisted from the xbox store. That being said, the controls are very janky and clunky as its very easy to lose momentum. Despite that, its very fun to play through and short as there's 3 main maps to go through and a good selection of characters with their own personality. The soundtrack definitely makes the game much more fun and entertaining. I hope to see more of this series with its return coming soon having been announced as it deserves to get brought back into the spotlight.

my controller didnt work with this game so whatever

1:59 hours into this game: "These are some of the clunkiest controls put into a video game. No one moves how you'd like, the game flow is constantly interrupted, and it feels like tug of war to move right."

2:00 hours into this game: "holy shit I get it."
