    I played it on my son's DC back when and I liked it OK, but it didn't grab me. But when I played Jet Set Radio Future (the sequel to JSR) on the Xbox, I was blown away. The gameplay was much better. Now had they released a revamp of JSRF, I would get it, because IMO, that was the better game.

    Just as No Association said to ignore the Critic Metascore I must warn you of the nostalgic user score. This is an awkward game that is in every way worse than its sequel. It's stumbling and slow, but the music and personality is vibrant and will stick with you. Ten bucks you get what you pay for; Don't get much else though.

    While this game is amazing, the Xbox 360 port is kind of a tradeoff. In this version, the Proffesor K voiceovers have t e r r i b l e quality, the game doesn't fill the whole screen, and the graphics for this 1080p remake look worse than the 480p original! I don't know if this problem is just me or not, but it doesn't happen to any of my other games, physical or digital.

I don't know if this problem is just me or not, but it doesn't happen to any of my other games, physical or digital. Also, the avatar awards won't load. I know this is a common problem which sucks because I'd reallly love to have a graffiti soul on my avatar. The documentary is truly amazing though, and the songs from JSRF are a nice touch. But if I'm being completely honest, you'd be better off playing the original for better cutscene sound quality and better graphics. And worst of all they took out Yappie Feet! This is my absolute favorite game, but not this version. I feel for 10 bucks I got my moneys worth, but you should play it on Dreamcast instead.… Expand

    We wish the gameplay had been polished up as much as the graphics. [Issue#91, p.85]

    As a game, Jet Set Radio isn't going to appeal to everyone. The mechanics are dated, and the look and feel, while still impressive, isn't as distinctive as it was in a prior generation. If you're up for a challenge, however, it's not a bad way to spend 800 Microsoft points. Just be prepared to swear - a lot - as you experience a piece of gaming history.

    Old fashion or maybe obsolete game proves that some legends should have been left to rest. [Nov 2012]
