    This game COULD have been awesome. It has great looks, great sounds, great level design... but it controls so poorly, and the camera is so bad, it gets nearly unplayable sometimes! You may not notice in early levels, but later JGR just ceased to be fun.

    This game is really fun but I have to take some points off because it has references to the Sonic games. However, the cool graphics and fun game play are good enough to help you look past them.

    AKA Jet Set Radio, this rather unique offshoot of the skateboarding genre sees you tagging various locations around a future Japan with some gorgeous-looking cel-shaded graphics and a super-cool soundtrack. Perhaps a little repetitive but quirky and fun.

    A game that lets you live out those teenage fantasies we've all had about joining a gang, rollerblading through the streets with total abandon and tagging the hell out of anything with a flat surface.

    A visually gorgeous game that combines awesome graphics, fresh gameplay, irresistible music, and incredible design in a polished package that is a true original.

    Maybe I'm just being picky, but I found the camera positioning quite annoying at times, especially in the last section of the final boss.
