Story:Jet 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.Show more

When I was a younger kid I was diagnosed with a cancer. This is what I would play 24/7 while I would spend my time at the hospital. Please perserve this game. It's brought nothing but joy!
Growing up this game was almost mythical in how my one friend had an XBOX with this dual disc featuring SEGA GT 2002 and some inline skating game with a wicked cover. I'd go over to his house and we'd jam out to the OST while having the best gaming experience of our young lives. Everything about it was so enticing, from the cell shaded cartoonish art style, to the "down with the man" attitude, this game had it all. Between all the kids in the cul-de-sac we each had a signature character nobody else could use. Mine was Yoyo.
Fast forward a few years and we moved apart. I missed my friend a lot, but I also missed this game. I dreamed about it. It was only until I reached college that I finally decided to buy it again for myself and even playing with the intense lag of backwards compatibility on the 360 I fell in love all over again. It's fresh, it's funky, the world feels vibrant and alive, and later it inspired my new favorite game of all time (Bomb Rush Cyberfunk). JSRF still holds a place in my heart as my first and longest running favorite game, and I still like to revisit it from time to time. I just wish it had been ported to Steam like its predecessor. Keep this game alive, and bring it to a new generation of gamers. Kids these days need to "Stop. Playin games." and understand the Concept of Love.
This is my favorite video game of all time! It's trapped on the original Xbox but it should be preserved for all time. It is a wonderful piece of art. Funky fresh beats galore!!
My uncle gave me his old Xbox that had a copy of this game. Years later I bought the game again so I could play it on the 360. It's criminal that this game isn't backwards compatible with the Series X since the emulation on the 360 was far from perfect and is not the best way to play this game. This game needs to brought back in a more accessible way
I always wanted to play JSRF after I had played the first game, I bought four separate copies of it for my Xbox all of which working until you got passed the tutorial, so I'd love to be able to finally experience the game.
This was one of the first games I ever played and it permanently altered my personality. Amazing music and atheistic. Unfortunately I can no longer play this as my Xbox was stolen and that would be too expensive to buy just for one game lol
Best game I've ever played that got me in to the graffiti world. Rollerblading and the good music and most importantly. What taught me "the concept of love". To this day I still play the game.
Blasting through Tokyo, tagging it up and running from the rokkaku police, grooving to the sickest video game soundtrack ever and falling in love with the art style. This has been my favourite game ever as long as I can remember and I have the shoulder tattoo to prove it
I've never played this one, but I understand it was way better than the first and have always had a great deal of respect for it, alongside many other XBOX exclusives. It's never been released on PC and is available on the XBOX One/Series S/X. A modern HD Port would be great, and bring this once great series back into the spotlight.
Sega Rally ChampionshipSega Rally Championship is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by AM5 on the Sega Model 2 board. The unique selling point of Sega Rally was the ability to drive on different surfaces (including asphalt, gravel and mud), with different friction properties, with the car's handling changing accordingly. As the first racing game to incorporate this feature, Sega Rally is considered to be one of the milestones in the evolution of the racing game genre.
The music for the arcade game was composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, while the Sega Saturn port's soundtrack was done by Naofumi Hataya and the Guitar were played by Joe Satriani.

Because of this, the TOCA series is considered a niche racing game; something on the outskirts of the mainstream.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2The Need for Speed series returns, this time reverting back to the 'chase' arcade experience instead of a racing simulation. Top speed racing is the name of the game, where you must outchase not just the opposing drivers, but the cops.
Choose from a selection of today's (and yesterday's) top sports cars, including the Ferrari F50, Porsche 911 and a range from the likes of Ford, Corvette, BMW, Lotus, Mercedes, Aston Martin, the McLaren F1 and a lot more.
The competitive race mode allows you to take on other drivers and beat them to the line. A selection of tracks allows you to not only dodge incoming traffic, but perform deadly jumps and stunts to receive points. These points, combined with the points recieved from your finishing position, can unlock new cars and tracks.
The Hot Pursuit mode combines all the major elements of the competitive mode with the chance to out run the cops. They will throw everything at you to try and stop you, including running you off the road, setting up road blocks and unleashing an attack helicopter equiped with missiles. Three busts by the cops ends the race.Action
