You've Been Gamed Plays is a series where I play 15 minutes or so from the very beginning of any game I feel like playing quite frankly! On this edition it's the turn of Jet Set Radio on the Sega Dreamcast.

Jet Set Radio, originally released in North America as Jet Grind Radio, is a 2000 action video game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Dreamcast. The player controls a member of a youth gang, the GGs, as they use inline skates to traverse Tokyo, spraying graffiti and evading authorities.

Development was headed by director Masayoshi Kikuchi, with art by Ryuta Ueda. Influence was drawn from late 90s Japanese pop culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club. The environments were based on Tokyo shopping districts in Shibuya and Shinjuku, with graffiti designed by artists including Eric Haze. It was the first game to use a cel-shaded art style, developed in response to the team's disappointment towards Sega games mainly resembling anime or manga.

Jet Set Radio received acclaim for its graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay. It won several awards and was nominated for many others. A Game Boy Advance version, developed by Vicarious Visions, was released in 2003, along with versions for Japanese mobile phones. In 2012, Jet Set Radio was digitally re-released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and iOS, followed by releases for Windows, PlayStation Vita and Android. A sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, was released for the Xbox in 2002.

If you would like me to play more of this classic game then please let me know in the comments.

During the course of You've Been Gamed Plays I will be playing a variety of games that I played growing up, and maybe a few that I missed out on but wish I had! I'll also be playing modern games too. We don't discriminate on this channel!
