Jet Grind Radio 2000

Is it still worth playing?

You skate across Tokyo on inline skates as one of the GGs, a gang that sprays graffiti over its rivals' tags while dodging the police, in this 2000 action game for the Dreamcast. There are three kinds of levels: Street, Rival Showdown and Trial. In a Street level you tag every spot a rival gang marked before the timer runs out, and the more you spray the deadlier the authorities become, calling in tanks, helicopters and SWAT. A small tag needs one can of spray paint, a medium one three and a large one seven, and you have to stand still to paint the larger ones. The game has 102 graffiti designs, most unlocked by finding graffiti soul icons, and a soundtrack by Hideki Naganuma. It is set in Tokyo districts based on Shibuya and Shinjuku, and has no multiplayer. A race against the timer with the police closing in still keeps each area tense.
