version will contain a fourth metropolis. The Japanese version of JSR contains three massive cities-each crammed with pedestrians and traffic-to wreak inline havoc in, but the U.S. "Jump and you'll do a flip, and if you spray while doing that your character will twist around and do another trick, then spray, then land back on on the railing." "While grinding, you can jump and do tricks," Vorlick said. Grinding is automatic when you leap onto a rail. Depending on your speed, angle of jump, etc., you'll perform one of several tricks per character. The trick system is simpler than what you'll find in Tony Hawk. Basically, at the end of the stage you're running from every type of police force possible." Depending on the level, they sometimes send in parachute troops or SWAT teams. Spray a few more times and they send in the captain. Spray a few more times and they send in reinforcements. You spray once or twice and the cops come.
"When you first start out," Vorlick said, "no one's around. The larger your design, the longer it takes to spray it-and the more cops you'll have hot on your tail. Graffiti designs come in three sizes (and you can even edit your own designs more on that later). On top of that, the game packs a story filled with plot twists it's not just spray, run, spray, run. An onscreen arrow guides you to the next tag point, as well as scattered safety zones where cops won't touch you. Whizzing around town in special "Overdrive Magnetic-Motor Skating Shoes" (the 21st century's answer to inline skates), you spray graffiti at specific tag points such as cars and walls throughout your turf and pull off tricks-all while evading cops and dodging rival gangs. Instead, Vorlick says JSR assails you with several simultaneous objectives. "They didn't want it to be classified as another skating game.Īnd it's not a racing game. "The development team (which includes veterans of the Panzer Dragoon and Sega Rally games) kinda wanted this game to be a genre breaker," producer Klayton Vorlick told us. At first gander, Sega's extraordinary-looking Jet Set Radio-due here this fall-may seem like a stylized take on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but don't think you've figured this unique title out that easily.
