"Jet Set Radio Future is a 2002 action game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Xbox; it is a sequel to the Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio (2000). As a re-imagining of the original game, it features refined gameplay mechanics, updated graphics, larger open world environments, new characters, an altered plot, a new soundtrack and multiplayer gameplay. The player controls members of the youth street gang, the GGs, that use inline skates to traverse a futuristic Tokyo, spraying graffiti, challenging rival gangs and evading authorities. Jet Set Radio Future uses a cel-shaded style of animation like the original.
Much like its predecessor, Jet Set Radio Future received widespread critical acclaim for its gameplay, soundtrack, and graphics. It won several awards and was nominated for many others. The game initially released as an Xbox launch title in the Japanese and European regions. After its initial release, it was bundled with new Xbox consoles with Sega GT 2002 on a dual-game DVD.
Gameplay
Jet Set Radio Future plays similarly to Jet Set Radio in which the player controls a member of a gang of inline skaters called the GGs to gain control of a futuristic Tokyo. Players can grind through rails and poles, perform various tricks while grinding, perform various mid-air tricks, skate backwards, and use boosts on the ground and on rails in order to move faster. When a player is skating fast, they can come to a quick stop by performing an advanced inline-skating move called the powerslide.
Much of the game requires the player to search for graffiti tags left by other gangs and spray over them with their own. To do this, players will need to collect spray cans littered across each stage. Spraying is more streamlined from the last game, with manual spraying over large tags replaced by multiple spray targets depending on the tag's size. Unlike Jet Set Radio, there is no time limit and spray targets can be completed at any time.
Open world stages in the level are larger, and are now interconnected, with time limits removed, and often feature multiple objectives. These range from mimicking a rival's trick line or beating other skaters in a race. The police, who previously chased after the player in the last game, now appear in specific areas. Each area has hidden items to collect, including Graffiti Souls, which unlock new graffiti designs, and Hidden Tapes which unlock additional missions where more Graffiti Souls can be earned. The game features multiplayer gameplay up to 4 players and several multiplayer modes. The game also features the option to design one's tags.
Plot
In a futuristic Tokyo, a group of teenage skaters called the GG's vie for control of the Tokyo streets against rival groups. The Rokkaku Group, a megacorporation, has taken over much of the city and their leader is the new mayor of the city. The group is oppressing the people, taking away freedom of speech and expression, and is forcing other gang members to give up their territory using the corrupt police force of Tokyo.
The game begins with the player's character, Yoyo, who must complete a set of basic training exercises from Gum to prove himself worthy of joining the GG's. During the game, the GG's recruit multiple members while scuffling between other gangs such as Poison Jam and Rapid 99 taking over their respective territories while also protecting their own. The GG's eventually have to go up against more disciples of the Rokkaku Group such as the Noise Tanks and the Golden Rhinos which eventually leads to a showdown against the mayor of Tokyo. Gouji tries to launch an event known as the 'Rokkaku Expo', attempting to take away the citizen's of Tokyo's freewill and eventually the world's."
