Jet Grind Radio

200376/100
MusicPlatform
This cel-shaded skater lets you tag Tokyo's vibrant streets while grinding rails and dodging the fuzz. Its rhythm-action gameplay, where you trigger graffiti tags in time with the music, is still a unique blend of style and substance. The game's infectious soundtrack, paired with the satisfying movement, makes you want to keep rolling, even if the repetitive missions eventually start to wear thin.

About Jet Grind Radio

Details
Like in the Dreamcast version, the player assumes the role of the GG's, a gang of graffiti-spraying youths, led by Beat (who is also the first playable character). The Rokkaku group and the Tokyo-to construction conglomerate have teamed up to clamp down on the "rudies", the game's term for the law-breaking teenagers. The object of the game is to "Tag" certain parts of the surroundings before the time limit runs out or "before the indomitable array of cops arrives".
