If you’re one of the five people who owned a Sega Dreamcast, you may recall the sleeper hit Jet Grind Radio, a cartoony action title about a gang of homeboys who strap on rocket-powered skates and spray-paint the town red, one block at a time. While this Xbox sequel is even quirkier, it’s just as insanely addictive. Vandalism is still encouraged in this grand funkadelic adventure that now includes more than a dozen playable characters, numerous side quests, and some inspired multiplayer options. With a hearty hip-hop soundtrack courtesy of the Beastie Boys’ now-defunct Grand Royal record label and graphics that seem to have break-danced straight out of Hanna-Barbera, JSRF plays like one big ghetto-fabulous party. Word.
