Armed with rocket-powered skates, wicked freestyle tricks and an arsenal of aerosol cans, players must navigate a massive interactive city, battling rival crews for new turf and ultimately squaring off against the oppressive Rokkaku Group.
Filling the airwaves of the game's pirate radio station is a hypnotic blend of hip-hop, techno and electronic beats courtesy of some of the hottest names in music. With a soundtrack by Grand Royal Records and Sega's Wave Master, "JSRF - Jet Set Radio Future" features original music and rump-shaking remixes of hits from Grand Royal artists including The Latch Brothers, Russell Simins, Cibo Matto, Scapegoat Wax, Bran Van 3000, Bis, BS 2000 and The Prunes.
