Jet Set Radiooooooo!

I've been listening to music that both matches the style of or actively is used in Jet Set Radio for well over a decade, from Hideki Naganuma's work on Sonic Rush's music (and other projects), to finding Rob Zombie's Living Dead Girl and Dragula, to 2Mello's Jet Set Radio tribute albums, Memories of Tokyo-to and Sounds of Tokyo-to Future. I never actually played the game until recent years, however, and I'm glad I did.

I'd heard about how the game's controls had some jank to them, and I can confirm that's the case, but I grew up on Sonic Adventure DX. I was born in the jank, molded by it! It would take more than that to stop me from enjoying another of SEGA's most charming games of the Dreamcast era. Hearing the full soundtrack to this game in-game for the first time has been a blast and it's so cool to see the locales of each location ooze with soul and style! The characters are no slouches in this department either! Everyone's got a great kind of attire to them; it reminds me of what I loved about the outfits and character designs of The World Ends With You, which is another of my favorite games to date!

There's an argument to be made that the control hasn't aged the best, but that didn't stop me from having a great time with one of the best period pieces of its respective era. Jet Set Radio isn't just a video game, it's history you get to play, and I strongly encourage you to do so! Join the GGs and get ready to breathe new life into the world with art and style!
