Jet Set Radio Future (JSRF ???????????????? Jetto Setto Rajio Fyucha?) is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the re-imagining to Jet Set Radio. It was published by Sega. It was released on February 22, 2002 in Japan, February 25, 2002 in North America and March 14, 2002 in Europe, near the beginning of the Xbox's lifespan. After the game's initial release, it was added alongside Sega GT 2002 onto a single disc and bundled with new Xbox systems.
Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay.
Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980s old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990s Jpop culture.[dubious – discuss] |
