  • Riddick Snipes

    Awesome!!! Just can’t do that damn wall grind in the tutorial.

  • ungeheier

    Uh oh… that shouldn’t have happened.
    It appears you’ve found a glitch in the system.

      I’m getting the same thing :(

  • teamdoa

    Awesome, I hope they never changed any of the music as that was one of the key things that made the game so great!

  • Socal71

    JSR is just as fun and challenging as I remember it. They did a great job on the conversion, albeit some of the textures aren’t high res… tress and faces… the core gameplay is there.

    This may be a little too hard for today’s gamers but you should still try it out.

      Have to admit, unlike other DC titles out there (crazy taxy doesn’t feel as fun as I remember it was) JET SET RADIO holds its charm and most important, playability / fun factor pretty well after all those years.

      Sometimes happens that gameplay itself feels dated but can’t see a trace of this happening in this title!

      Awesome game.

  • Volitar Prime

    Were they able to keep all of the original music?

      I believe it’s missing 1 or 2 originals.

    Buying it. Easy decision. I completed it on the Dreamcast but it’s been long enough for me to enjoy it all over again, especially with achievements!

  • Hugoku

  • kingcrusher

    I really like the Dreamcast revivals! I wish they could somehow get Armada on Live! That would be awesome. Keep the DC games coming! Love it!

    Played this for countless hours back in 2002 on my DC, love this game. Would have paid $60 for it that was the price.

      I still have it and played it back then in glorious VGA. Been waiting for this to be redone since Crazy Taxi was done

    oh HECK yes! i’ve been waiting for this since they stopped production

    I was excited about this but after playing the demo, it just wasn’t as nice as i remember. Plus, not sure if just me, but (at least) the demo suffers from game choppiness/lag once in a while.
