We're of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What's the point of applying a score to a game that's old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That's why we invented Deja Review (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/deja-review): A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-released games.

Jet Set Radio (http://joystiq.com/game/jet-set-radio) was more than one of the Dreamcast's best games. Jet Set Radio was emblematic of the system, exhibiting a joyful atmosphere, bright color scheme and arcade-style gameplay that all seemed unique to the last Sega hardware.

In fact, the association is strong enough that in playing the new HD version, I forget that I'm playing a new version on new hardware. It's just Jet Set Radio, looking how I always remembered it looking anyway.
It's still the most upbeat game about teenagers being shot at by tanks in response to minor acts of vandalism.Continue reading Deja Review: Jet Set Radio (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/11/deja-review-jet-set-radio/)
