Jet Set Radio,titled Jet Grind Radio on the first North American release, is an action game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Dreamcast in 2000.The player controls one of a gang of graffiti-tagging inline skaters. In a typical stage, the player explores an open 3D environment and must tag every graffiti spot in each area before the timer runs out,while evading the authorities, who pursue on foot, in tanks and in helicopters.New playable characters are unlocked after the player beats them in trick battles.The game is controlled with only a few buttons, and technical aspects of skating are simplified compared to games such as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.According to Vice, although Jet Set Radio is “about the fluidity of good skating, the joy of motion and skill … skating is less the focus and more the medium”; the game instead emphasizes a “general sense of youthful rebellion”.
