All the characters are different, and look similar to some of the characters from Lethal League. It doesn't take place in Tokyo-To because the signs are all in english. The characters don't have skates, they run and grind on special shoes making it more like parkour. I played Jet Set Radio a lot and this is an homage, not a copy. You can't say this looks exactly like something else when we barely know what this looks like, nobody has even had a hand on experience or seen more than 1 minutes worth of gameplay. Thu 25th Feb These 33 seconds only look like Jet Set Radio if you haven't played the original extensively, or slowed down the video to look at the details.Puyo Puyo exists because of Tetris, Mortal Kombat because of Street Fighter, 1942 because of Galaxian, nothing exists in a vacuum.

Video games have been here a long time now, coming up with 100% original ideas isn't possible, everything has been done to some extent. We'd have no fps, platformers, or rpg games, or sports games. or Final Fantasy or Atari Football had come out and everyone had that same attitude about not copying. Can you imagine if Wolfenstein 3d or Super Mario Bros. There's hundreds of first person shooters, hundreds of rpgs, platformers, etc, but, I can only think of maybe 5 games in the last 20 years that looked like they were trying to be like Jet Set Radio and this is the first one that looks any good. Jet Set Radio Future came out in 2001, 20 years ago, and we still haven't had anything that's comparable.
#JET SET RADIO GRAFFITI FREE#
They're literally free to develop anything they want. The indie industry however really shouldn't be, for starters they are not held back by executives or mandates so they don't have to follow a bunch of rules when developing.

It's done by Team Reptile (the developer behind games like Lethal League and Lethal League Blaze) and features music in it by Hideki Naganuma - the guy who composed for Sega's Jet Set Radio series.

If you're a fan of the Sega series Jet Set Radio, one game you might want to be on the lookout for is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
