Tokyo-to is Waiting for You

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON -
September 18, in the year of our Lord 2012 - SEGAŽof
America Inc. and SEGAŽ Europe Ltd. are proud to announce the
launch of Jet Set Radio for consoles across the US and Europe!
PlayStationŽNetwork users will be able to purchase Jet Set Radio
today, September 18, while Xbox LIVEŽ Arcade and PC gamers will
be able to purchase the title tomorrow, September 19. As a
Heritage Collection title, Jet Set Radio features bonus content
that will delight fans of the series, including fan-contributed
graffiti and a documentary that takes a deeper look into the
creation of this iconic videogame.
In the urban sprawl of Tokyo-To, gangs of youths known as
‘Rudies’ roam the streets, marking their territories with deft
sprays from their graffiti cans. Taking control of Beat, the
leader of the GGs, players must tag and grind their way through
the city, fighting against rival gangs as well as the local
police force. As the GGs recruit more members and gain
notoriety, a dark plot begins to emerge involving the shadowy
Rokkaku Group and its nefarious owner, Rokkaku Goji. Can Beat,
Gum, Tab and the rest of the crew take back Tokyo-To and stop
Goji’s evil plans in time?
“Like all our Heritage Collection titles, Jet Set Radio has been
a labor of love for the digital team here at SEGA Networks” said
Chris Olson, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA Networks
Co., Ltd. “We’ve aimed to rework Jet Set Radio with the
reverence it deserves and we hope the fans enjoy the end
result.”
