JSR just sweats style but our memories can no longer taste the musk of its gameplay. Zac, Dan and Rob revisit the PC re-release of the game that introduced us to the GGs and the Funky Uncle.
Jet Grind Radio
The government is attempting to silence the kids of Tokyo, but with their Overdrive Magnetic-Motor Skating Shoes, the cops will have to catch 'em first. The Jet Grind Radio program keeps the kids unified and inspired to fight for their rights of expression, which includes graffiti art. Grab your spray cans and design your own piece on one of the immense walls in the 3D, interactive city. You might be forced to protect your territory from adversaries that want to take over your neighborhood. Join up with like-minded hip individuals that will help you keep your area the way you want it. The cops will be after you too, so you'll have to be quick. The 10 cartoon-style characters are pumped up with polygons so they come alive in 3D on Dreamcast. Uniqueness is key to these kids and each character stands apart with exclusive abilities and style. They like to show off too, and with 18 missions, there's plenty of time to impress. It's fast, it's fun, and it's definitely funky.
The turf tagging is escalating towards some kind of government conspiracy. Is the love of skating and looking at the funk worth dodging tank shells for?
This episode has EVERYTHING. Possibly anything that's ever been said in human existence is crammed into this extra long SaladCast instalment. We’ve got running, rumours, Sonic’s Olympic garb, parking tickets, web development plugs, Zac’s eating habits, esports lifestyles, Shoutcast Radio and, in a surprise twist, video games!
