This is an incredible game that marries classic rhythm game concepts with an infectious and engaging soundtrack. Once you learn its ins and outs its a 1 hour game, but it's also a 1 hour concert you put on as you guide your hero and his dog towards cosmic victory. So charming, so joyous, so much shredding. And it's stuck on PS2.
This game is perfection. The rhythm action GOAT. Everything is top tier: the dynamic song difficulty, the fun story, the great soundtrack. Defeating the Sanbone Trio on Master mode is still my greatest gaming achievement to this day.
You would have to pry my PS2 copy of this game out of my cold dead hands. My favorite music game of all time, I played it obsessively as a kid, and again when the PSP version came out. Love it to this day.
We gotta get this game back. When people meme about shorter games that look worse this is what they both mean and will never bring up. If you grew up on a steady diet of playstation demo discs then you know what i'm talking about.
i played a lot on my ps2 when i was little and pretty bad on video games to, i stayed four hour playing just the second stage because i didn't have any motor coordination, it would be incredible a pc port, it's just my favorite rhythm game ever
Fun, wacky, cool, stupid, beautiful, and epic, Gitaroo Man is an experience that really everyone deserves to have. It's the only reason that I still own a PS2, as old and battered as it now is.
I played this with my brother, and then with my best friend at university, and we would keep going back time and again, trying to beat it on the very challenging Expert Mode. We'd break through it one stage at a time. Flying-O, Mojo King Bee, Ben-K, the Sanbone Trio, Gregorio, all seemingly insurmountable walls that we eventaully overcame one after the other.
It's a short game if you can beat it start to finish, but the songs, the visuals and the difficulty level of Expert Mode kept the three of us coming back again and again. I think it's such a shame that this game is as niche as it is, and I'd love more people to have this fantastic experience.
Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.Action
Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game.
Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about.
Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.Action
