Perform tricks and flips on magnetically driven in-line skates, but watch out for the local police force!Now on Xbox Live Arcade, Jet Set Radio is part of Sega’s Heritage Collection series and now features lush HD visuals, developer interviews, and amazing fan-created graffiti.
There's three great things in life: Jet Set Radio [Future], the occasional episode of Family Guy, and Hideki Naganuma, the composer of the Jet Set Radio series, Sonic Rush, and more. And because we lived in a blessed timeline, these three things have somehow managed to come together to form a modern holy trinity. It's not particularly clear how they all came together, but I'm thankful they did, and will remain thankful every day until Sega decides to do the right thing and release a new Jet Set Radio, which will never happen, because while we live in a blessed time, it ain't that blessed.
0commentsNow, I could write thousands of words trying to explain how this all happened, and you would probably still be very confused, so rather than do that, I'll keep things short. Jet Set Radio fans 'found out' that Naganuma likes Family Guy. I put found out in quotes, because it's unclear whether the composer actually likes the show or not, but it's become a thing that has dominated his Twitter page. Anyway, in the wake of this, fans of Jet Set Radio have been making crossover art that combines Family Guy and Jet Set Radio, and I have to say, I would totally play a Jet Set Radio game, but with Family Guy characters. I mean, I'll play just about any Jet Set Radio game, but one starring Peter Griffin I would actually pay more than I should to play.
I heard @Hideki_Naganuma liked family guy... pic.twitter.com/6WhTHbx8Uk

And while I desperately want to live in an alternate universe where these two cross over in official capacity, I'm just happy I live in a universe where everything pictured above actually exists.

If you like good music, good fun, and a good challenge, it's hard to go wrong with Jet Grind Radio. It's fast paced, unique and very hard to put down. The first thing that will grab you is the style of the game. The graphics are very nicely cel shaded and the music will keep you jamming along nodding your head. The music isn't all golden, but for the most part, it's cool. The gameplay is rather simple but very fun. Skate around, find red arrows, spray paint your tag.
All the while avoid cops, tear gas, dogs, even missile launching helicopters. It's hard and frustrating at times, but it's oh so worth it. You'll keep coming back for more and more.
The game stands up to repeat plays, and the style never wears thin. The story is entertaining and well told by DJ K. Unlike so many games where the story between levels is the dull part, you'll be jamming along with DJ K all the way through. It's quite hard not to be brought into the Jet Set Radio universe.
It's very well done. Rirathcom.
