But a re-release would certainly be better than nothing.Īnd to be fair, Sega did reinstate the original Crazy Taxi soundtrack in future releases of the game, so nothing's impossible. Now, Sega could find a way around that problem with a re-release of Jet Set Radio Future, but that means cooking up a whole new soundtrack as a result - and considering how iconic the soundtrack is, that may not sit well with fans. People still loved the game, but didn't really favor the new soundtrack compared to the old one. But when you play these new versions, you may notice that the soundtrack is drastically different, with some new artists in their place. The original arcade soundtrack features the likes of the Offspring, Bad Religion and more. While fans appreciated being able to cruise through city streets at top speed again, there was a noticeable change - the soundtrack. Tag enough spaces, gain enough rep, and you'll challenge your rivals for ultimate control and bragging rights.In the past, Sega managed to re-release the game Crazy Taxi on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 form. You'll play as a member of a street crew and battle it out with rival crews for control of an open-world urban space. We’ve also got more details courtesy of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk’s Steam page.

It showcases the game's "boostpack" functionality, which basically combines skater physics and insane parkour into a single game mechanic. It's called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and we've got a brand new trailer to share with you.

But now, after 22 long years, Jet Set Radio is getting the spiritual successor it so richly deserves. Sadly, because Jet Set Radio was born on the Dreamcast, it also died on the Dreamcast (with a stillborn sequel on the original Xbox because nobody bought that console either). It combined the skating physics of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with an original soundtrack and art style that has been copied by games for the past two decades. They'd also be right in saying that Jet Set Radio was one of the most unique experiences anyone can have in a video game.

Those people owned Sega Dreamcasts, and they'll go to their grave saying it was the best disc-operated console ever made. There are a lot of people out there of a certain age that remembers a certain funktastic soundtrack with an immeasurable level of fondness.
