I read a number of previews, but I wasn t getting enough information. I remember reading that the gameplay had something to do with roller blades graffiti, and cops. My worries were gone once I got my hands on the demo. At first I thought the gameplay was rather simplistic. It's nice to have an original game for a change.
Most games lately are sequels or prequels, or outright copies of some other genre.
Jet Grind Radio is a fresh breath of originality, and evidence that Sony hasn't broken Sega's spirit just yet. In Jet Grind Radio, you control a member of the gang the GG's, who are involved in a turf war with rival gangs on the streets of Tokyo-to. Developed by the Sega AM team who developed the hit Sega Rally games, Jet Grind Radio is a good mix of Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Crazy Taxi but fully manages to be its own unique game. None that stand out in my mind. This is a review of the import title, which aside from the music, is pretty much the same game.
