Even twelve year after its original release on the Dreamcast, Jet Set Radio is still a must-have, blessed by an incredible soundtrack and visuals that didn't age much, thanks to the cel shading rendering.
A charming, stylish Japanese manifesto, full of ideas, revamped HD graphics and a really bombastic soundtrack. Maybe gameplay may somewhat suffer the weight of time, but this game still remains a unique experience.

The remaster of this game is awesome!!! Let's hope we get it in switch too and another sequel.

Players looking for a game with finely tuned mechanics and thrill-a-minute gameplay will want to look elsewhere. But fans of the original, or those wanting to engage in some funk-fueled civil disobedience should definitely take the ride.
The camera is as bad as ever, but this doesn't prevent Jet Set Radio from delivering tons of good ol' fashioned Sega entertainment.
It still drips with style, but in terms of gameplay this return to the past is rather painful. [12/2012, p.87]
Old fashion or maybe obsolete game proves that some legends should have been left to rest. [Nov 2012]
Jet Set Radio was interesting in the year 2000, but the game needed more than a fresh coat of paint to make its awkward design worth revisiting.
While this game is amazing, the Xbox 360 port is kind of a tradeoff. In this version, the Proffesor K voiceovers have t e r r i b l e quality, the game doesn't fill the whole screen, and the graphics for this 1080p remake look worse than the 480p original! I don't know if this problem is just me or not, but it doesn't happen to any of my other games, physical or digital. Also, the avatar awards won't load. I know this is a common problem which **** because I'd reallly love to have a graffiti soul on my avatar. The documentary is truly amazing though, and the songs from JSRF are a nice touch. But if I'm being completely honest, you'd be better off playing the original for better cutscene sound quality and better graphics. And worst of all they took out Yappie Feet! This is my absolute favorite game, but not this version. I feel for 10 bucks I got my moneys worth, but you should play it on Dreamcast instead.

I played it on my son's DC back when and I liked it OK, but it didn't grab me. But when I played Jet Set Radio Future (the sequel to JSR) on the Xbox, I was blown away. The gameplay was much better. Now had they released a revamp of JSRF, I would get it, because IMO, that was the better game.

Just as No Association said to ignore the Critic Metascore I must warn you of the nostalgic user score. This is an awkward game that is in every way worse than its sequel. It's stumbling and slow, but the music and personality is vibrant and will stick with you. Ten bucks you get what you pay for; Don't get much else though.

If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be a sack of potatoes, play this game.
