I got this game and after I played it thought it was even better
than tony hawk games...you can preform tricks just by pressing the "A" button...once you get used to it you could be as good as
me...I've beati'n the game about 200 times!theres only 16 levels
but their hard!!!

An eyeful of artistic wonder
Rating:A
While the Sega Dreamcast will always be known for its niche following of specific licenses, and projects that were well thought out but never received the commercial accolade they so deserved, it is by sifting through the grains of sand and finding specific games of this long gone system that we find a hugely underrated, and classic game in the wake of Jet Grind Radio. Featuring a cast of characters that never seems to get old and the continuous joy of tagging graffiti and running away from the police becomes increasingly more enjoyable as you collect graffit souls that open up newer and bigger tags. While I personally prefer the quicker pace of Future, don't let that fool you into tinking this game is not as enjoyable, it's just not as polished, and as quick paced. In this iteration, spray-painting is accomplished by doing motions on the controller similar to StreetFigthers fireball motions, etc. The music is as equally impressive as the visual style, which at the time of this games release was one of the original titles to featre cel-shading, a technique employed just recently to Capcom's Killer 7, with excellent results. Perhaps a game like this deserves to stay as an underground success, but it is unfortanate that we will probably never see a third game in this excellent series, after the lukewarm sales of JSRF. Oh well though, at least we've got the two games, but who knows maybe one day SmileBit will grace us with another excellent entry into this forgotten artistic masterpiece of a game.

The best Dreamcast game ever!
Jet Grind Radio is not your average skating game and that's what I love about this game. It's hip, it's new and fresh something that's has never bin done before. Jet Grind is not only a terrific Dreamcast game but it simply one of the best Dreamcast games next to Shenmue and Soul Calibur. The game is an instant classic that no one with a Dreamcast should miss out on. The game is extreamly original and a very underrated gem, heck this is better then the Tony Hawk series. It has a pretty cool story. You're are the GG's a skate gang that pretty much takes over other groups of skaters turfs and to make matters worse you are being chased by a ruthless cop and his minions(AKA swat teams)and Tanks, Helicopters and so on. This game unlike the sequal JET SET RADIO FUTURE is more challenging because it has a timer. The games level desighn just keep getting better and better and the best part about this game is.....THE MUSIC. This game has the best music next to Metal Gear Solid. The music will really get you into this game which if really awesome. The game is also pretty original cause you can spray grafiti on walls, trash cans, windows ect. And no game has ever pulled this off but this game is Cell shaded and is very well done. Every character and level is so well desighned that your mouth will be drooling in such amazment. Put simply...the visuals in this game are amazing. I'm going to make this short and sweet.
PROS
-This game has extreamly addicitve gameplay
-The cell shading in this game is absolutley amazing~
-Very Original and ten times better then the rest of those Skating games..
-The Characters compared to the enviroment look nothing alike which gives the game some flavor..
-BEST MUSIC EVER! This game has some really awesome tracks inculding Rob Zombies "Dragula"
Cons...
-.............Nothing
Overall Jet Grind Radio lives up to my opinion as the best game for the Dreamcast and is highly original very addictive. It has sweet cell shaded visuals which even put games like Zelda Wind Waker to shame. The game is a bit of challenge with the Timer and everthing.. Overall Jet Grind Radio screams Originality and awesome....
Final Verdict.. This game truly deserves its
5 out of 5 stars
And I'm sticking to it......Jet Grind Radio is....AMAZING..

An Awesome Adventure
Jet Grind Radio is an awesome fast paced game, with only one real disadvantage. This disadvantage is that some people may hit a point where they are just not skilled enough to do what has to be done, or it becomes difficult to figure out what has to be done in order to finish that level, and then you have to repeat the level over and over until you can get it right, but this can get annoying when you have some crazy law enforcement people/things chasing you while you are trying to do something challenging. One way that I have found to minimize this problem is, after failing a mission 3 or 4 times, stop for the day, and come back the next day and try again. This way you don't get too angry, and just stop playing.
Overall the game is definently worth it's cost, and, along with maybe 2 or 3 other solid games, makes it worthwhile to get a dreamcast, even though the system is so old, and many of it's games are on other systems.

Great graphics, sound and repeaitive gameplay all in one
Fun for a while but got boring when you realise that its the samething over and over and over. A little more variety and some 2 player options would have made Jet Grind Radio a lot better.Yet again the curse of many Dreamcast games has hit...its only fun for a while, no lasting appeal or repay value.
