Now the great thing about this future world is the really slick roller blades that all the gang members seem to wear. This is a setting wherein gang members wear elaborate monstrous outfits and other visually shocking apparel. JSRF takes place in a futuristic Tokyo, where really strange gangs rule the streets, but unlike the violent gangs of today, this future society seems to breed an almost mutant-like gang member. But enough of this blathering, let's talk about today's topic, Jet Set Radio Future (JSRF).
On a side note, you can now pickup a Dreamcast for as little as $49.99 and the original Jet Grind for as little as $7.99 (this is an incredible deal). The game actually was that good, however, and the fact remains that it was literally a selling point for the now defunct Dreamcast. Wow, I gave the original a 97! Is this possible? Was it that good of a game or was I not up to speed on scoring since it was my third review? Well, while I can't say my original review was as good as I would have liked it to be (from a writer's standpoint). When I heard that the sequel to Jet Grind Radio was going to be released on the Xbox I was instantly fired up, so much so that I went back and reread my original review. Of course you will have to do this using spray paint and electromagnetic roller blades as your primary weapons. As newest member of the hottest gang around (The GG's) you not only have to prove yourself to your new gang, but also figure out a way to right the wrongs that are currently plaguing the city. Problem is, these gangs don't much care for one another and constantly bicker amongst themselves instead of sticking it to "the man." That's where you come in. So how does a game featuring inline skating and graffiti figure into all this? Well I'm glad you asked'you see, the last bastion of freedom and spirit lies in the hands of the collective gangs sprawled across the city. The Rokkaku Group is a massive conglomerate headed by its CEO Rokkaku Gouji, a man so vile and powerful he has his eyes fixed on nothing but total domination of Tokyo! Unbeknownst to even those that follow his evil will, Gouji is planning on some seriously nasty things to happen in Tokyo. Resident Evil has Umbrella, Eve of Extinction has Wisdom Inc. Ah, the evil corporation, that faceless enemy that sees nothing but profits and revenue with no regard for human life and/or the betterment of mankind (unless the profits are there).
