"One of the most overlooked games for the Dreamcast has been redone and improved for the XBox, with a nice new futuristic twist. Smile Bit has taken this game and molded it into something that any player can pick up and play. Myself, being a veteran from the first game was able to quickly adjust to the new style."
Overall: A brand new concept brought to the Xbox in quite a pleasing manner. Freeroaming the streets on rollerblades busting out moves is the main idea behind this game. Gameplay: The gameplay best relates to the Tony Hawks series. You free roam on your feet and pull off sick tricks trying to increase your overall score. It also involves many timed missions. It also includes wicked multiplayer! Graphics: The game is cell shaded. And cell shading is what it does well. The models and effects are also very well done. Sound: The sound effects werent the best but the ingame sound track was above my expectations. Very catchy titles! Suggestions: add more tricks and missions. also more levels.
Overall: Very original and unique game that puts you in roller blades and let you roam the streets doing sick tricks and sharing your artistic skill with a spray paint can. Hours of fun just waiting to be unleashed. Gameplay: Good gameplay for the most part. Sort of hard to learn how to completely control your character and make it seemless that you know how to skate. Graphics: The cel shaded graphics makes this game what it is. Very cool how things look and they did an excellent job at selling this very rare visual display. Sound: Ok in sound, nothing special to talk about here. Just need enough characters to get the minimum of 100. Suggestions: Good game, could have made it better.
Overall: This game was fun!! There isn't much I can say but this game was totally unique and unlike any other game I've ever played. I think it would be great to have in a collection based purely on how unique it is. Gameplay: This was a very easy and fun game to play. The controls were super simple and there wasn't much to the game in terms of moves and such. It was pretty basic but still was very enjoyable. The game was very fun and an easygoing game which was good to relax. Graphics: I love cell shaded games. Some games try to pull cell shading off but it never seems to fit right. But it fit perfect with this game. I personally couldn't imagine this game looking any other way. Very well done and very nice environments, character designs, and great interaction with the surroundings. Sound: Great sounds in this game. The sounds were lively and very upbeat just like the game itself. IT added very much to the feel the game portrayed but wasn't way over done which was nice. Suggestions: More games in this style should be made. If there was just a little more to the game it would be a great seller I think.
Overall: I have to start out by saying that I love Sega. they have a style about them that is refreshing and fun, no matter what game it is that they publish. their games are geared more towards the hardcore players in most respects and their gameplay style in general is very arcade like. which makes sense because they started in the arcades. some people might find some of Sega's games child like and simple but many of them are deep and take a while to truly appreciate. the same can be said about this game Jet Set Radio Future. the graphics and gameplay may not be the best but the game is just down right simple and fun to play. the game also has a interesting subject that makes for a great, and strang game experience. Gameplay: at the start of the game you become on of the members of a group, who skate around towns and tag their territory. you later run in to new members who you must out skate in order for them to join your group. once they join you can take control of them, each skater is different and has skills some of the other skaters dont have. the multiplayer is amazing as well me and my friends love this game and play it frequently the tag battles and ball games are all alot of fun. Graphics: Smilebit sure knows how to do cel-shading right, and in this game it truly shows. everything looks like a great cartoon and the visual effects like smoke and sparks are all very nice to look at. also the character models are all well built and uniqe from each other. well cel-shading does not really push the xbox to its limits the look of the game is crisp and make the game fun to play. Sound: the soundtrack in this game is unbelieveable. i loved evry song. while i hate a lot of techno music in games this game does it right. the music is all weird and fun, eventually i found myself singing along to the music, something i have not done since the old sonic games. this soundtrack is awsome one of the best ever. Suggestions: the game is a little short in my opinion, and i would have liked to have been able to pull off more tricks like in Tony Hawk, i know that thats not what this game is aiming for but the ability to pull off more tick combos would be great. try to make the next game system link for multiplayer. over all great job.
Overall: JSRF is a unique title and an expanded dive into the universe of the original Dreamcast version. The graphics shine and the music is decent. However the gameplay itself, while it is fun for the most part, can become a bit repetitive and annoying. Gameplay: The gameplay is fairly arcade standard, straight-forward if you read the manual, but not as original as original nor unique as the Dreamcast game. Graphics: The game is an excellent example of how cool cell-shading can be. It certainly has its own unique playful visual style. Sound: The sounds are repetitive, much like the original, with little variation, although in quality it is decent. Suggestions: I would have kept what was familiar from the original, with respect to controls.
Overall: Very well made game. Has deep gameplay, really good multiplayer, and is good to beat more than one time. Gameplay: Very easy to learn. You will have no problem mastering this game on the first level. Very immersive. Graphics: Best use of cel-shading I have ever seen. Doesn't take use of much of xbox's power. Stay away if your a cel-hater. Sound: Sounds can get annoying at times (grind combo sounds) but that is about it. Best game soundtrack ever!
Overall: After reading member reviews over this game, many of you may not like me after you read this, so in protection of my life i just whant to apologize in advance...lol, just kidding, but any way, the matter of the fact is, is that i did not enjoy this game just as much as i had hoped to. The concept is pretty lame, and the graphics look like a generic form of cell-shaded. So just let me start over...The concept is, riding around on roller skates, and spray painting walls, well, thats the most part of it any way. Gameplay: Like i mentioned earlier, you ride around on skates, graffiti on a few walls and then, guess what...do more graffitie, doesnt that just sound so fun!!...LAME!! but ok, to give some credit for even having the guts to publish this game, i will have to say that it was fun riding backwards on my skates, yep, thats pretty sad when that is the main highlight of the game for someone, well, for me anyways. Graphics: Hmmm...i just dont know what they were thinking when they tried to pull off the cell-shaded thing that they tried to pull off, but i applaud them for a nice effort. Sound: To sum it all up, the music was not the best, but the sound effects with the environment and things like that were probably the only thing half-decent about this game. Suggestions: Well, i guess you have to recieve a bad review from some people and i guess that i am one of those people, but hey look on the bright side, if it wasnt for these bad reviewss then you would never know what tpo improve in your future game. sorry for all of the "not nice" comments.
Overall: What an awesome game, one of the best looking games ever and without a doubt it's the most stylish game ever made, lots to do with a great story mode and an awesome multiplaer mixed with great control, this is an awesome game. Gameplay: Great control with an awesome story mode, great multiplayer, nice music and great visuals. The grinding in this game is great with the amount of combos you can make out of it. Graphics: Brilliant, stunning, totally awesome, thats a few of the words that describe this game. The sparks when you grind are great great, the character animations are brilliant and the levels are nothing short of stunning. A+++++ Sound: Totally awesome, some really nice songs, the voices sound great, especially the DJ guys voice, acustom soundtrack would have been nice though. Suggestions: Keep it up.
Overall: My name was Corn... didn't like that but it's such a simple concept yet so fun. I mean... legal grafiti... need i say more? Gameplay: Easy to learn. Though after playing THPS it was hard not to press Y to grind. Fairly simple and fun to ontrol. Graphics: Bliss. I love cel shading. This game has great visuals and so different... in a good way. I love them. Sound: I really didnt pay much attention to sound because i was so wrapped up in gameplay. But what I atually listened to was cool. Suggestions: add a bit more to the story and a few more moves rather than just grinding.
Overall: This game is a lot of fun and addicting. Its challenging but not to the point of being frustrating. Lots to see and do. Gameplay: The controls are great! They're easy to learn and use and really add to the overall gameplay. The camera can be a little off at times and I found myself circling a rail a few times to get the right approach to grind until I got the hang of the camera lock (left trigger). Contrary to some comments made by other reviewers here, you will fall, which costs you health and forces you to start over at a specific area in the level (not neccessarily where you fell), if you attempt to jump off a tall building (though to be fair, it has to be a REALLY tall building) and you will slow down and slide back when grinding if you jump onto an uphill rail without enough speed. The overall physics are obviously impossible for a human but hey this IS a video game. Graphics: It has a cartoonish feel which fits the game nicely. Not a big fan of cell shading but this game does it right. Sound: Play this with a 5.1 sound system! The music selection is great (if you like techno/hip-hop) but it can get a little annoying - if you have to restart a level you will hear the same songs in the same order. I found myself playing the game just to hear certain songs. Suggestions: Downloadable tags would have been nice. Multiplayer co-op mode.
Overall: This game sucked. It had no purpose. Skate around and spray paint walls. How lame. I have had more fun watching paint dry. Gameplay: I hated it. Worst game ever. Too easy to play and involves no skill or thought. I want more challenge than what this game offers Graphics: Terrible graphics. Very 2d and the colors gave me a seizure after a few minutes. I should sue someone. Sound: terrible annoying music. The music added to the seizure and I was forced to perform an exorcism on my xbox. Suggestions: Please stop making games with no purpose and save yourselves the lawsuits from potential seizure victims in the future.
Overall: this game sucked i wouldnt recomend buying it! But you can if you want it has ok sound but you cant listen to you own music the music on it really (stink's) it has ok graphics the game play could be better! Gameplay: the gameplay aint the best it could have an in game menu a difficulty setting better traning and more tricks Graphics: the graphics really could be better but they do ok the game looks a little squareish the water looks like colored wood Sound: the sound is good but you cant listen to your own music the music on it really stink's they could have put some real songs on it! Suggestions: It could have an in game menu
Overall: the first time i played it i was not trying to figure out how to play it i was trying to figure out the best way to get this piece of !&%$@#* game as far away from me as i possibly could.for one thing i am a skateboarder and this is a skating game another is when you grind you can never fall,you dont have to jump onto a rail you can just ride onto one and go eat dinner and he will still be grinding,you can grind straight up poles,and another thing is you can kill cops with paint and on top of that it looks like they combined crouching tiger hidden dragon with !&%$@#* ing dragon ball z just to see if they could make the worst game known to history Gameplay: the gameplay sucks i meen all you do is ride around spray-painting and they just listen to some 50 foot boom box.dang thats a good way to spend a day Graphics: well i would like to help sega and say that the graphics are somewhat good but i just cant do it i meen it is a !&%$@#* ing cartoon Sound: i think that they hired a few kids off the streets to say a few words for this game cause that is what it sounds like. the only reason i am going to rate this a 1.5 is because i cant submit unless i do and because i feel bad for the kids that were torchered in the making of this game Suggestions: i highly suggest that for your sake and the sake of all of us that you just kill this game and dont even try to make another cause it sucks !&%$@#*
Overall: Well what can i say. This game wasnt that great or that bad. I personally hated since the graphics werent even that great. in the beggining (that stupid slut) rofl! comes and shows you all this crap you need to know like how to jump on railings etc. And you move on to missions Gameplay: I swear to god, gameplay is !&%$@#* . I rather play a game of chess than this. all you do is ride on skates and when cops come you run over them and use right trigger to put graffiti on them.... i mean come with the time who would like that.... Graphics: Not mad i liked the colours, very bright, and the appeal was good. Lots of colours but to me the main character looks flop.. Sound: The sound was pretty good. ffs i was tired of listening to rock and one stupid !&%$@#* ty rap song which so killed my ears i wasnt able to listen to songs for a while. Come on, have better songs not those shit songs. Especially the song where this slut is yelling on the mike and says "Yes i am cooking for my son blah blah blah" who is that stupid whore i want to slap her so bad!! Suggestions: Retire....
Overall: I was a big fan of the Jet Grind Radio for the dreamcast and was blown away by this game. Everything seems to have been made bigger and better. Gameplay: Gameplay is the same as in the first one with some differences. You no longer have to do a sequence of analog stick movements to spraypaint. Also there is no time limit to levels anymore. This gives you the freedom to explore the gigantic levels. New moves have also been added. YOu can now use ten spraypaint cans as a type of nitro boost, and you can also grind up walls. Graphics: I've always loved cel shading. Its not for everybody, but its definetly for me. The graphics are great. Its like you are playing a cartoon. Levels are much bigger than in JGR and really show off the power of the xbox. Sound: The sound effects are well done. And with the exception of a few songs that i can't stand to hear, the soundtrack is awesome. Suggestions: The game is great but once you finish the game and unlock everything there isn't anything for a single person to do. Live support, while probably impossible, would be nice.
Overall: This game was just absoulutely great. I played the old DC version and fell in love with the originality of the game. Skate gangs fighting for land and a whole lot of fun to do. When I got it for the xbox I would never had thought it to be so much better. I especially love the create spray feature and the gameplay held great onto its next. Oh and the cel-shaded graphics were just great for this game in my opinion. Gameplay: Heck, maybe its just silly me, but this game was alot of fun to play. I beat it three whole times. I beat it in a matter of 18 hours at first. Then 12 hours and then nine hours. So I have played this game alot and it has been alot of fun to do. There are also alot of music tapes to find throughout the city and special sprays that add to the fun in the game.
Multiplayer wasn't bad at all itself. My favorite is the tagging...Most fun to play with a friend that and the game somewhat like rollerball. Graphics: I loved the visuals. I liked the way they brounght it in with the cel-shaded graphics this time and in my opinion looked better. A game like that should look cartoonish rather semi-real. It was the perfect look for the game and a favorable change from its DC version. Sound: WhAHA! HOO! HA! When hitting combos, noises like those can get a lil annoying or repetitive, but I easily ignore them and just let the cool beats hit my ears. Those kind of beats have been candy to my ears since I played the game for dreamcast. Suggestions: Make another JSRF game!
Overall: The graphical style, the unique game play, the old school style makes this a must have for xbox owners. Gameplay: This is an old-school platformer mixed in with some action sequences. Sometimes it can be very difficult and you wont know where to go, but that dosnt happen often enough to make it a problem. Graphics: The best Cel-Shaded graphics to date. You wont know if your wathin' a saturday morning cartoon a an punk anime sega game. Sound: Really the only good thing about the sound is the awesome music. All the way from rap to pumk to hip-hop amd back there is some great music in this game. The sound effects are ok. There is the typical sound. It sounds alot like tony hawk games or aggressive inline. Suggestions: Easier to control, better sound effect.
Overall: I first got this game when I got my xbax last November. I was quickly not impressed so I focused on my other purchases like halo,amped, pjr, etc. Recently I game JSRF another shot. This is not my game. I'm not sure if it dates me but I just can't handle the music the goofey dancing or the dialogue. I found the game play too simplistic however I must admit I did not go very far. Not my cup of tea Gameplay: The storyline is to annoying for me. This game techn ically is too simple as compared to Tony Hawk 4 where i can at least do a kick flip on perpose. Te hracing is just not enough for me. Graphics: The look does not work for me. I guess it is stylistic and arty in a way be not my thing. The dancing characters drive me nuts Sound: I hate this part the worse, I guess technically It is not bad but I rank the dialogue and script up there with Don Taylor's NHL 2003 Suggestions: I'm not your target audience so who cares what I say
Overall: This game is ok maybe not a buyer it depends on what you like I guess. Its not really a skating game like tony hawks series. Gameplay: This game kept me entertained for about an hour because is not that fun and theres hardly any tricks you can do. Graphics: Different and can of artsy it wasnt really my thing but i can understand why people like it. But it was still good so i gave it a 4. Sound: For me I hated the music they played but other people have different choices so im not going to toattally give this a bad score.
Overall: Well second time re reviewing and im like completely stuck lol. but it wont change the way. Overall game play is arite but it gets frustrating as hell Gameplay: Yes easy gameplay to do, nice controls but comeon spraying guys is pretty retarded to tme.... Graphics: Pretty good for a futurerittic games. I kind of like it but its not better than splinter cell! Sound: Ya its great and i think ripping songs on the game is a great feature unless i am mistaken all sorts of music. ! Suggestions: Very confusing maps :(
Overall: This game is the sh@t. i loved the first one and the second one is better than ever. I could play this game over and over and over again. Gameplay: fast paced and no freeze ups at all even though with all the lights and graffiti. tricks are good and nice moves on the pipes. Graphics: cel-shaded couldn't be described more with this game. this is the best game with cel-shaded graphics i have ever seen. Sound: this game is powered but a wicked trick of music with beats from ever thing. i loved the music and all the styles. Suggestions: if you make a second one holy crap i'll be the first one to buy it. You should make it live enabled and make crazier and bigger levels.
Overall: This game came with halo and sega gt and i intended not to play it.But now I ve been playing it and found it quite interesting. Gameplay: The levels are easy at the strt but get more challenging.The graffiti parts just annoyed me but knocking over the police added a spin Graphics: I normally dont like the cartoonish style of games but this was an exception with good detail in all areas. Sound: I got really sick of the techno type music which was played.The sound effects were great,ecspecially during grinds. Suggestions: Maybe some more variations in tricks?
Overall: Despite what other people may say this game is actually pretty good. It's worth at least a rent to see if it's the type of game that you would want to play. The cartoon style graphics are actually pretty nice. It feels really great grinding poles to get to secret areas or getting to those hard to reach places. Give this game some time and it might grow on you. Gameplay: The gameplay is actually pretty great. The controls are pretty easy to use, grinding and tricks are fairly easy to pull off. Graphics: The graphics are very nice, although cartoon. The attention to detail in this game is amazing. Looks great ! Sound: The music isn't to bad. Only a few tracks though.
The voices and sound affects are something you'll hear quite frequently. Because you hear the same sounds often, I only scored it a four. Suggestions: Nope. None at all.
Overall: Very unique and very fun. Not usually my type of game at all, but i enjoyed it. I bet you will too. Gameplay: Great multiplayer choices, all very fon. option to play with bots. great single player, with missions galore. Graphics: Very unique and well used style of Cel SHading, very fitting to the game. Cites are enoromous, and you can go anywhere in them. Sound: Sometimes annoying soundtrack, very quirky, so it fits the game well. sometimes annoying and repetative voices. Suggestions: Custom soundtracks. thats about it.
Overall: It didn't take long to hook me and pull me into it's cel-shaded world. The visuals and gameplay is different from anything I had played before. Gameplay: Basically to complete a level involves spray painting over another gangs graffiti and then a race between you and that level's gang. Luckily the levels are quite different from each other and have some really cool places to explore. Unfortunetly I eventually grew tired of the repetive play and gave up. I've tried to get back into it numerous times and quickly became tire of it again. A very unique game that just became boring after a while. Graphics: The cel shading is very attractive and unlike anything I have played before. The animation is good and fluid. The camera started to bother me after a while though. Sound: Hmmmm, if you like this kind of music I guess you'd score this game much higher. To be honest I almost started to like some of the songs but after listening to them a gazillion times they ended up giving me a headache. No support for user soundtracks in a game that is heavily dependent on music!?!?!?!
Overall: Very fun. Like most said, its a love or hate kinda game. Its very wierd, yet very addicting. The characters are not that great though. I almost have everything 100% complete. Gameplay: You graffiti city walls. Thats the purpose of this game, to spray paint your symbols on walls and even over you rivals own tags. Occassionally, you will be set up to fight the po-pos a.k.a. the police. You travel at high speeds and grind anything. Graphics: Great. This is the best cel shaded graphics ever created on any game. The graphics look like a straight up cartoon, or even better. Sound: Not bad. The music is just meh, though there are some tight tracks but most are just average. The characters make good sounds. Suggestions: If you do make another sequel to this game(this was the sequel to JGR)make it have some better music, or better yet, make it have a custom soundtrack option. But altogether, its a good game.
Overall: man Ican't believe some of the reviews cel shading is cool and this game's awesome Great everything this games very long and will keep u entertained trust me Gameplay: This game is one of the top 10 game's out there what do u do? u graffiti the city and face rival gangs and the police and multi player is da S*** Graphics: bootyyyyyyyful! cellshadin is awesome except it depends what kinda game it is and very colorful awesome Sound: Hmm uhh ok music actually good it gets repetitive during the end but matches thegame coulda been better Suggestions: awesome awesome awesome JUST CO-OP AND THIS WOULDA been awesome sorry for caps-lock
Overall: Well, I have alot of time on my hands so hell, why not review JET SET RADIO FUTURE! I was able to get my grubby paws onto this game with my Xobx in its double pack with Sega Gt 2002(which I hated) and I have alot of time on my hands so lets give JSRF some spotlight. JSRF is a cell shaded game involving continuous skating through a cell shaded world attempting to complete missions and find graffiti to graffiti over ^^~~ Gameplay: Gameplay can be a blast for the first couple of hours. It consists of your character skating along walls, grinding on poles and rails, and leaping off high cliffs to complete numerous missions that you are assigned. The skating is quick and at some points exciting, but after a while, doing the same tricks over the cliffs and on rails can get kinda boring. The game comes with a map that points out where graffiti spots are located, but this map is complicated to use and there is no key to point out if the dot you are looking at is a graffiti spot or something else altogether ^^~~ Graphics: The visuals in this game look great! The cell shaded style of the game gives the characters a colorful and glossy look to em and the move fluidly. The scenery looks astounding with sewage pipes and skyscrapers rapped around by a Chinese dragon( the dragons scales allow you to skate up and down it) The city appears to be alot like a Japanese city, and that was prolly what the creators intended^^~~ Sound: The sound is great as well. The game is packed with some jumping tunes that make you wanna pop off your butt and bust some flows! The sounds of the skates upon metal rails are perfect and lifelike. When you are any character jumps, they call out yeehaws or grunt and while skating down busy streets, the pedestrians leap out of the way tumbling on the floor screaming as if you are attempting to run them over with a tanker truck ^^~~ Suggestions: That ends my review of JSRF. It is a good started game, but it gets old once you have bought some more Xbox games. I am looking to buy Crimson Skies HRTR very soon, so look for a review of that game in a couple of months. Until then my friends, this is Lucifer_Hawk, signing out ^^~~
Overall: After my first bought which was Halo I thought all xbox games could be as great as it... wrong!! I heard so good reviews about this game that I decided to get it (yeah I paid 50 dllrs) and after the first missions it gets frustating searchin for graffitis just to spray over on it, and then after finishin with some bosses I have to search again the same graffitis and spray them again.. when playing this I didnt feel as playing a game, it was more like working as a graffiti cleaner and gettin no cash for it. Gameplay: Just like any platformer game, this games has the jump button and the spray button which in this case is used to clean graffitis or to defeat enemies, yeah!! you can defeat enemies sprayin paint on them (PAINT IS PAIN!). Is like addin mario the ability to grind on rails, to use spray cans and to have superboost. Graphics: Best of almost all xbox games are the visuals, the cell-shaded style of this game really amazed me, cuz i havent saw those visuals before (i never had or played the dreamcast version). Sound: Music doesnt make a game good, but it adds somethin nice to it. You can find some great ST here from real Japanese DJ´s, Sure they are unknown to almost all partiers. Suggestions: add more multiplayer options, levels, types of game. Add more replay value.
Overall: Donīt buy it.
If you are trying to find a game that at first will have you on your sit for hours, frustrated and so, then this is your game!
It has no replay value and all what is left is Multiplayer which isnīt that bad, if you have someone to play with.Oh and the ability to make custom graffitis, with a joystick... so practice before you try. bah Gameplay: "Yea, I want to paint some graffiti and go round and round in not so huge but hideous cities!"
If you think so, buy it. Graphics: Cel-shading is really cool itīs the best thing in the game!
The characters look great and the enemies are better. Sound: Itīs the gameīs worst feature, you may play your own tracks but you need to be in the spot, if not the game plays a song in which a woman screams huge loads of crap, and her voic makes you get more frustrated!!!! >:( Suggestions: Donīt bother to make another one...
