Development was headed by director Masayoshi Kikuchi, with art by Ryuta Ueda. Influence was drawn from late 90s Japanese pop culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club. The environments were based on Tokyo shopping districts in Shibuya and Shinjuku, with graffiti designed by artists including Eric Haze. It was the first game to use a cel-shaded art style, developed in response to the team's disappointment towards Sega games mainly resembling anime or manga.

Jet Set Radio received acclaim for its graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay. It won several awards and was nominated for many others. A Game Boy Advance version, developed by Vicarious Visions, was released in 2003, along with versions for Japanese mobile phones. In 2012, Jet Set Radio was digitally re-released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and iOS, followed by releases for Windows, PlayStation Vita and Android. A sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, was released for the Xbox in 2002.

Gameplay
The character Beat performing a grind on rails and tagging graffiti

Player controls a member of a gang of graffiti-tagging inline skaters. The game consists of three types of levels: Street, Rival Showdown, and Trial.[4] The Street levels come in two categories.[4] The first is to tag every graffiti point in each area previously tagged by a rival gang before the timer runs out while evading the authorities.[5] The second category serves as a boss battle by chasing the rival gang members and spraying graffiti on them.[5] The more graffiti points are sprayed, the more deadly the authorities become.[6] Graffiti points are marked by arrows and require paint to tag them.[5][4] Players can spray graffiti by either pressing a single button or inputting commands using the analog stick depending on the size of the graffiti spot. Players are unable if they run out of paint and must be refilled by obtaining yellow and blue spray cans scattered across the stage.[4] Yellow Spray cans refill a single spray can and blue spray cans refill five.[4] Enemies will pursue players and attempt to deplete their health.[5] Health can be replenished by obtaining red and green spray cans.[4] Performing tricks add bonus points to the player's overall score and gain access to areas difficult to reach.[4]

In Rival Showdown levels, more playable characters can be unlocked after they are defeated by matching the rival's movements in technique sections or by spraying graffiti before the rival in race sections.[4] Trial levels are unlocked after Street and Rival Showdown levels are cleared in a specific area. There are three kinds of trials: Jet Graffiti, Jet Tech, and Jet Crash.[4] In Jet Graffiti, the objective is to spray all the graffiti points within the time limit. Jet Tech prioritizes in obtaining the top score within the time limit. In Jet Crash, the objective is to reach the goal and spray graffiti on it before the opponent.[4] Players can customize their graffiti by choosing presets, or create their own using the Graffiti editor.[4] By using a VMU, players can upload their graffiti to the official website for other players to use or download graffiti from other players. More Graffiti presets can be unlocked by collecting Graffiti Soul icons scattered throughout stages.[4]

Plot

DJ Professor K, of the Jet Set Radio pirate radio station, broadcasts to gangs of youths who roam the streets of Tokyo-to, skating and spraying graffiti. Jet Set Radio follows Beat and his gang, the GGs, who compete for turf with three main rival gangs: the all-female Love Shockers in the shopping districts of Shibuya-Cho; the cyborg Noise Tanks in the Benten entertainment district; and the kaiju-loving Poison Jam in the Kogane dockyard. The authorities, led by Captain Onishima, pursue the gangs with riot police and military armaments. After the GGs defeat Poison Jam, Noise Tanks, and Love Shockers in turf wars, they each drop a piece of a mysterious vinyl record. Professor K reveals over the radio that the mysterious vinyl that everyone is searching for has the power to summon a demon.

The GGs are joined by new skaters, Combo and Cube, who explain that two months prior, their hometown, Grind City, has been overtaken by the Rokkaku business conglomerate. They ask the GGs to help them to free their friend, Coin, who has been captured by the Rokkaku. Shortly after, the Rokkaku pursue the GGs and manage to steal the vinyl record. Poison Jam explains to the GGs that the Rokkaku CEO, Goji Rokkaku, plans to use the record to make a contract with the demon in order to take over Tokyo-to and the world by spinning the record over a turntable. The GGs confront and defeat Goji in the rooftop of his headquarters by destroying his turntable and tagging his head with graffiti as he falls off the rooftop. Although Coin's fate remains uncertain, freedom is returned to the streets of Tokyo-to. Combo reveals that The Devil's Contract was an old record with no demonic powers and that wealth had driven Goji to insanity.

Development
Jet Set Radio was originally developed with the Dreamcast specs in mind

Jet Set Radio was developed by Smilebit, a Sega studio formed from members of Team Andromeda, developers of the Panzer Dragoon games for the Sega Saturn.[7] The development team consisted of fewer than 25 developers, with an average age of under 25.[8] Programming began in mid-1999. The game was announced at the 1999 Tokyo Game Show and drew media attention for its cel-shaded style.[9][10] During the early stages of development, director Masayoshi Kikuchi had difficulty leading the team, having no prior directing experience.[1] The visual style was established before the gameplay; according to Kikuchi, the game could have become an adventure game or role-playing game. His superiors were not satisfied with early concepts, and so Kikuchi used trial and error to develop a concept that he believed everyone would find interesting.[1]

Ueda wanted to create something "cool" that dealt with popular culture and was completely unlike the team's previous game, the 1998 role-playing game Panzer Dragoon Saga.[8] Ueda's drawings of a punky character with headphones and rollerblades became the foundation of the game.[11] Ueda had joined Sega after being impressed by the "freshness" and international appeal of Sonic the Hedgehog, but was disappointed with the number of manga and anime-style designs; he hoped to create something original.[12] Smilebit drew inspiration from games outside the typical game genres of science fiction and fantasy.[8] Ueda was particularly inspired by a demonstration of the PlayStation rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper at the 1996 Tokyo Game Show: "I think that's the first game with pop culture like that. They did it first. After that I decided to make a true game, not just a visual experience, that was actually for adults."[8]

Smilebit used thicker lines for objects they wanted to stand out.[13] The anti-establishment themes of the 1999 film Fight Club were another influence.[11] Smilebit developed a new cel-shading technique not used at the time as it would not have been possible on the Dreamcast or PlayStation 2.[9][11] The game features graffiti by a variety of artists, including Eric Haze, who had designed album art for acts including the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy.[6] Smilebit initially wanted to make it a skateboarding game, however, was scrapped due to the legs having to be fixed and instead chose inline skates.[13]

Jet Set Radio was one of the earliest games to feature an open 3D world, which presented the team's biggest challenge.[11] Kikuchi said: "Making an entire town in a game was quite the prospect. It's not hard with modern hi-spec hardware, but that wasn't the case back then... It was very difficult from a programming standpoint."[11] Another Sega game developed in that period, Shenmue (1999), also featured an open world, but Kikuchi felt the games posed different technical challenges, as Shenmue does not allow the player to jump or move at speed.[11] The team implemented grinding to allow players to enjoy speed without worrying about colliding with obstacles.[11] Smilebit chose to have a fixed camera as an attempt to reduce motion sickness.[14] They attempted to make the game impossible to duplicate on PlayStation 2 by pushing the Dreamcast limitations using bright colors, realistic shadows, and over sixteen displayable NPCs on-screen without lag that would have been impossible on PS2 due to its smaller memory.[14]

The settings were inspired by Japanese locations such as the Tokyo shopping districts of Shibuya and Shinjuku, which Smilebit photographed to use as references.[9] Sega feared that the game's style might alienate players outside Japan and requested changes for the international versions.[15] The team added stages modeled after New York City: one based on Times Square, and another on Roosevelt Avenue along Queens and Brooklyn, and changed the nationality of two characters to American. The interactive credits sequence of the Japanese version was also cut, as localizing it would have meant rebuilding the stage with English names. Sega sold the international version in Japan as De La Jet Set Radio.[15] Ueda was unhappy about the changes, which he felt diminished the essential Japanese elements of the game.[15]

Soundtrack

The Jet Set Radio soundtrack includes original and licensed tracks with a variety of genres including J-pop, hip hop, funk, electronic dance, rock, acid jazz, and trip hop.[1] The North American version and international rereleases adds metal songs. The 2012 port omits "Yappie Feet" and "Many Styles" for licensing reasons.[16][17] The music has been described as energetic, rhythm-heavy, defiant, and multicultural.[6] Most of the soundtrack was composed by Hideki Naganuma, with additional tracks by Richard Jacques, Deavid Soul, Toronto, and B.B. Rights.[18] Naganuma attempted to match the visual style, and experimented with voices, cutting and rearranging samples to the point that they became nonsensical.[1] In 2012, Naganuma noted he enjoyed working on Jet Set Radio and its sequel the most.[19] Smilebit worked with Sega of America and Sega of Europe to include as many street culture elements as possible, hoping to create music that was internationally acceptable.[14]

Jet Set Radio Original Soundtrack was distributed by Polydor Records on December 20, 2000 in Japan.[20] For the HD release, a new soundtrack was distributed by Sumthing Else on September 18, 2012 for North America and Europe and contained additional tracks from the sequel, Jet Set Radio Future.[21][22] A second soundtrack for the HD version, Jet Set Radio: Sega Original Tracks, was distributed by Sega and released on iTunes on October 3, 2012.[23]

Promotion and release

Jet Set Radio was released in Japan on June 29, 2000.[24] In North America, it was released on October 31, 2000, and was retitled to Jet Grind Radio due to trademark problems for "Jet Set" in the United States at the time.[25][26] The PAL version was released later on November 24, 2000 under the original name.[5] The North American and PAL versions contained two new maps, new songs, and other in-game content designed to increase the game's appeal to Western audiences.[27] To promote the North American release, Sega of America held a "Graffiti is Art" competition for contestants to enter their own graffiti art pieces to Sega.[28] Sega chose five finalists and flew them into San Francisco, California on October 21, 2000, where they competed to make graffiti art pieces on a canvas within a 3 and a half-hour timeframe for a prize of $5000.[28] Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown discovered the competition and attempted to revoke Sega of America's permit, however, he was unsuccessful due to obtaining the permit legally.[28]

Sega rereleased the game in Japan under the name De La Jet Set Radio[lower-alpha 2]. This version was released on January 1, 2001, in Japan via Dreamcast Direct (later renamed Sega Direct) and included a T-shirt featuring the protagonist Beat for those who pre-ordered.[29] This version features content that was originally exclusive to PAL and North American versions, namely music, two playable characters, and two stages.[30]

Alternative versions

Mobile versions

Jet Set Radio was remade into two 2D mobile versions. The first is a side-scrolling game in which players escape police, titled Typing Jet[lower-alpha 3]. It was released for Japanese mobile phones by Sega on June 22, 2001.[31][32] It was followed by a remake for Game Boy Advance developed by Vicarious Visions and published by THQ in North America on June 26, 2003, and in Europe on February 20, 2004.[33][34] The game uses the Tony Hawk engine and isometric perspective, and emulates the cel-shaded graphics of the Dreamcast game, with some original stages and shortened songs.[35]

High-definition remaster

In 2012, high-definition ports developed by BlitWorks[36] were released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android. The ports add features including widescreen HD graphics, online leaderboards, achievements, and a new camera system. In addition, it combines the North American, European and Japanese soundtracks and includes bonus tracks from its sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, but omits the tracks "Yappie Feet" and "Many Styles" that originated from the PAL version.[18][37] To promote the ports, Sega ran a contest to allow players to submit their own artwork to be used as graffiti within the game.[38][39]

In North America, the PS3 version was released on September 18, with PlayStation Plus members able to purchase it early on September 11. The PS3 version was released in Europe the following day alongside The Xbox Live Arcade and Windows version for both North America and Europe.[40][41] The PlayStation Vita version was originally scheduled to release on October 16 but was delayed for development optimization reasons and was released on November 20 in North America, and in Europe the following day.[42][40][43] The PS3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation Vita versions were released in Japan simultaneously on February 20, 2013.[44]

The smartphone versions for iOS and Android were released in North America and Europe on November 29, 2012.[45] Japan later received the iOS and Android versions on December 20, 2012 and January 30, 2013 respectively.[46][47] The smartphone versions were delisted as of 2015 due compatibility issues with the updated operating systems of the iOS.[48]

Critical reception

Jet Set Radio received acclaim for its gameplay, visual style, and music. Gamers' Republic called it flawless.[67] IGN praised the extra gameplay modes, saying they added replay value.[62] Official Dreamcast Magazine (ODCM) found the exaggerated physics and interactivity of the levels immersive.[27] DC-UK described the gameplay as a combination of Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk, and concluded that the gameplay was better than both.[5] GameSpot praised the pacing, stating that the beginning of the game is simple and slowly becomes more challenging as the player progresses.[60] GameFan was not impressed with the early stages but their opinion changed as they progressed the game and were happy with the end result.[59] Next Generation found the story modifications of the English versions jarring, however, complimented the new stages, calling them "impressive" and "a worthy addition to Japanese cityscapes of the original"[63] The camera controls were commonly criticized, but most reviewers felt the overall quality outweighed them.[62][59][60][5]

In regards to the visual style, IGN said it "looks like a moving cartoon, and every character, right down to the police dogs, is practically overflowing with personality ... It has the type of look that makes non-gamers can't help but be impressed."[62] ODCM called it "gorgeous" and compared it to the move to color television.[27] DC-UK also praised it for resembling 2D cartoon and 3D at the same, and considered it ground-breaking.[5] GamePro wrote that the visuals were one of a kind and that the stylized design was convincing and fun to look at.[68]

Jeff Lundrigan reviewed the Dreamcast version of the game for Next Generation, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "One of the most unique and interesting console games in years. You owe it to yourself to check this one out."[64]

When reviewing the music, GamePro called Jet Set Radio one of the best-sounding games of the year,[68] and ODCM said it had "one of the best soundtracks ever".[27] IGN also praised the soundtrack, but was critical of the tracks added to the North American release, in particular songs from Rob Zombie.[62] Next Generation, however, didn't consider the new tracks to make a difference, stating the soundtrack was incredible from the start.[63] GameSpot felt the soundtrack fit perfectly into the game's environment.[60]

When reviewing the HD remaster, the game received mixed reactions from critics. GamesRadar+ praised how it is a joy to play even after 12 years since its release. Eurogamer also gave positive statements, calling the visual style "timeless", and complimented the HD remaster, stating "12 years on and this is a surprisingly rigorous game built of oddball delights, then, and the HD updating has only enhanced its charms. The skating's still great, the city's still a joy to explore, and the soundtrack's still one of the very best ever put together"[56] Game Informer was more critical, stating that the gameplay was archaic and frustrating. Game Informer further elaborated that in retrospect, the original release visual style blinded them from its faulty gameplay.[58] Both TouchArcade and Pocket Gamer criticized smartphone versions for the touchscreen controls and unable to keep up with the tasks the game requires.[65][66]

Across all versions of the game including the original and re-releases sales of Jet Set Radio surpassed 1 million copies worldwide.[69][70][71]

Accolades

Jet Set Radio won the Best Console Game at the E3 Game Critics Awards in 2000 and was the runner up for Best in Show at the same event.[72] The game won the category of "Excellence in Visual Arts" award, received a "Game Spotlights Award" and was nominated for Game of the year at the 2001 Game Developers Choice Awards.[73] It was nominated for Game Design, Game of the Year, Console Game of the Year, Console Innovation, Original Music Composition, Sound Design, and Visual Engineering at the 4th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in 2001.[74] Gamers' Republic awarded it "Best 3D Game Design" in their 2000 Year in Review.[75] The game was also featured in 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die.[76]

Legacy

Jet Set Radio is recognized as one of the first games to feature cel-shaded graphics, with exaggerated shapes, thick lines, and flat, bright colors.[6] In 2009, an early antagonist in the game, Captain Onishima, was ranked 95th in IGN's "Top 100 Videogame Villains" list.[77] Insomniac owner Ted Price credited Jet Set Radio as an influence on their game Sunset Overdrive.[78]

A sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, was released for the Xbox in 2002, early in the system's life cycle. Two main characters, Beat and Gum, appear as playable characters in the games Sega Superstars Tennis and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and the former also made an appearance in Archie Comics' Sonic Universe issue 45, an adaptation of the game along with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.[79][80]

gollark: Why did states happen in the *first* place if they aren't good and there's a stable alternative?
gollark: > Collectivization will take place naturally as soon as state coercion is over, the workers themselveswill own their workplaces as the capitalists will no longer have any control over them. This iswhat happened during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, during which workers and farmers seized andmanaged the means of production collectively. For those capitalists who had a good attitude towardsworkers before the revolution, there was also a place - they joined the horizontal labor collectivesUm. This seems optimistic.
gollark: > "Legally anyone can start their own business. Just launch a company!”. These words oftenmentioned by the fans of capitalism are very easy to counter, because they have a huge flaw. Namely,if everyone started a company, who would work for all these companiesThis is a bizarre objection. At the somewhat extreme end, stuff *could* probably still work fine if the majority of people were contracted out for work instead of acting as employees directly.
gollark: The hierarchical direct democracy thing it describes doesn't seem like a very complete or effective coordination mechanism, and it seems like it could easily create unfreedom.
gollark: I disagree with this PDF, for purposes.
