The premise is similar, with a new grey-haired Professor K leading a band of misfits against overzealous authority figures and raging gangs while trying to spread love and paint around Tokyo-to. Jet Set Radio Future is an alternate future retelling of JSR’s story and streamlines a lot of the action while greatly amping up the visuals and increasing the size and scope of the world. Thankfully, the 360 plays both games well beyond a couple of framerate drops on JSRF. Both games are fully playable on the Xbox 360, but sadly never got an Xbox One backwards compatible version. The original release of JSRF came in a stunning metallic red cover, but the most famous version of this release was the version with both JSRF and Sega GT 2002 on the same disc. Smilebit had its work cut out for it following up on JSR and did an admirable job.
This feeling continued with latter-day releases like Outrun 2, Outrun 2 Coast 2 Coast 2006 and titles like NBA 2K5 that kept some of the Dreamcast’s spirit alive on Microsoft’s first console.
JET SET RADIO 3 SERIES
The sequel hit the Xbox in 2002 and along with a series of other Sega game sequels like Crazy Taxi 3, Shenmue II, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Sega GT 2002 helped the original Xbox feel like a true successor to the Dreamcast. The first game was one that defined the Sega Dreamcast and to this day delivers a lot of fun and has a sense of style that few games can lay claim to. Now, we’ll take a look at what remains the only sequel in the short-running, but iconic franchise, Jet Set Radio Future. Last month, we covered just what kind of impact Jet Set Radio had on the industry and how well it has held up in the 21 years since its release and subsequent HD re-release. You’ll see both good and bad souls unearthed every month as we search through the more… forgotten…parts of history. Inside, we’ll be digging up games that have long been without a pulse. Watch your step, for you’ve just entered the Graveyard.
