                              2.0 Intro
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

    There is a place in Asia that isn't on any map. It is called Tokyoto, 
but
everyone just calls it Tokyo.  The hottest things in Tokyoto are the 
graffiti
crews (a.k.a. Ruddes) who ride on the newest inline skates (powered by
nitrium batteries) and express themselves through graffiti (illegal art 
form;
don't try this at home kiddies) and Jet Set Radio, a pirated radio station
run by Professor K. But, all is not well for the Ruddes of Tokyoto; for, the
city has deployed a task force lead by Police Chief Onishima to end the
vandalism of the city.

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

     Jet Set Radio is the station that all young hoods and punks listen
to in Tokyoto. It's transmitted from an unknown location. Ruling the
airwaves is Professor K (the DJ/VJ of Jet Set Radio). With his dreadlocks in
the air and his hand on the table, The Professor keeps the records spinning
tight throughout the game with an innovative mix of drum and bass,
Hip-Hop, Experimental Japanese Tech-no, Bubble Gum Tech-no and Rap to keep
you in the groove.  Also, he gives us the 411 of what's going down in Tokyo
and a little bit of comic relief.

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

    The GG's are a small, newly-formed group of Ruddes which maintain the
turf of Shibuya in the South of Tokyoto. Shibuya is the bright and sunny
district of Tokyoto.  This is the group of Ruddes that you belong to.

                          2.3 Poison Jam
     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

    Poison Jam, is another group of Ruddes that maintain the Turf of Kogane.
Kogane is the district of eternal sunset, right next to the shores. These
guys love monster movies and enjoy trashing up the walls of Tokyoto with
They're scary graffiti. They enjoy monster movies so much that they have
outfitted themselves to look like monsters (in outfits).

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

    Noise Tanks are another group of Ruddes that maintain the turf of Benten
in the west of Tokyoto.  This district seems to be drenched in everlasting
nightfall, filled with subway cars and nightlife.  The Noise Tanks are a hi-
tech hard-core skating group. To pay for their expensive equipment, they run
an elite business of selling pirated computer software.  And their graffiti
sends shock waves through all of Tokyoto.

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

     It seems that your quest to enlighten the city with your artwork hasn't
gone unnoticed. The city doesn't find it to be enlightening, but rather the
signs of urban decay.  Along with Rokkoku a Corp conglomerate, the city has
formed a new police force to stop the local punks.  This force is lead by
Police Chief Onishima, who is out to drag everyone of your butts to jail for
your crimes against his beloved city of Tokyoto.  And he will do everything
in his power to do it, too!

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

     I'm sure every one has heard of the circle of life?  That everything, 
is
predated apon by some thing else well here in Tokyoto isn't any different.
Instead of the Circle of Life, is the Circle of Graffiti... (and their ain't
no loins in this one).  The GG's attack Noise Tanks and Poison Jam, but the
police attack the GG's and an unknown rudder gang attacks the GG's as well.
Noise Tanks attack the GG's, but are pursed by the law as well.  Poison Jam
attacks the GG, but the law is after them as well.  But outside of the 
circle
sits the Corp Conglomerate, how do the play apart in this?

     Rokkoku, help sponsor the police in their efforts to remove that has
infected the city.  Little is known about what the Mega Corporation 
(Rokkoku)
actually produces and why the are so dam interested on the state of affairs
with in the city and the rudders.  Only time will tell!

     . .. - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- - .. .

Rojii, is the actual president of Rokkoku.  With his Dark shade covering his
eye it is impossible to tell what the heck he's up too.  Rumored, that he
also has a secret motive to get all 3 Rudder gangs in jail.  What is he
after?  Also word on the street is he has an elite gang of some type that
does all of dirty work for Rokkoku!

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

Skating Backward:

     This trick has a few way of being done. During the game, hit up-down-
down and you'll skate backwards. The other way is to get on a rail or any
hill that goes down and face the rising area - you'll start to slowly do
backwards, then when you get up speed, you can skate backwards:

360 +:

     On the Half pipe, in many areas of the game you can spin tricks.
The tricks vary upon your speed and where you jump while riding on the pipe.
The highest spin trick I have done/seen is 1060-degree spin.

Back flip, Splits and other tricks:

     These tricks are limited to the character that you have chosen to skate
with.  Each character seem to have 3 tricks. I'll expand upon each
characters' trick in their introduction sections.

Hitching-a-Ride:

     The streets of Tokyoto seam to be bustling with traffic, from cars to
buses to the mighty 16-wheeler trucks. But, what can a little rudder like 
you
do? Play in traffic? Well it seems that you can ride these forms of
transportation in many ways. You can ride up behind any car or truck and
grab the bumper (just watch out and down get hit) and hitch a ride.  To get
off, just jump or skate away from the car.  You can also give yourself
a rest by skating head-on into car and jumping on top. You have to watch out
that the car doesn't take you out of the level.

Riding the Walls:

   Not only can you ride the poles, cars and stairs, but you can ride the
wall. If you have good speed, jump against a wall and hit the R button.

Spider Man:

     If you think it's cool that you can ride the walls you'll love bouncing
off of them. After you start to ride the wall, jump off of it.  If another
wall is near that one, drift over to it. Then, you can grind against that
wall and jump off again.  This is a lot of fun and a great way to earn
points!

     .   ..  - --ooO --=+O+o+O+o+O+o+O+o+=-- Ooo-- -  ..  .

     You know, Grind is such an important part of the game. In fact, it's so
important that in the U.S. release they're calling the game Jet Grind Radio
(I like Jet Set Radio better, but oh well.). You can grind on almost
everything you see. To grind, just jump on the object you wish to grind on.
It's that simple!

Infinite Grinds:

     Strapped for points to get JET??  Need a Challenging feat to, impress
your friends.  This may just do it.  It's called the "Infinite Grinds".  An
infinite grind is a grind that can go on forever.  It's unclear if all level
In the game have an infinite grind or not.  Some are very easy and other
extremely hard. All Infinite grinds will be based on a 5 star system. 1 
being
very easy and 5 being extremely hard.  At the end of a level section if a
know infinite Grind exist it will be noted.

     The point system for tricks will change, depending on what trick you do
and how many tricks you can do during a single grind session.

     In the top right side of the screen you will see a set of numbers.  
This

number.  When it reaches zero, you're out of time and will be returned to 
the
GG's HQ.  Also, each level will give you a different amount of time in order
to complete it. When you complete the level, the extra time you have left
will be turned into points and added to your score.

locating RED Spraypaint cans throughout the levels.  Also, when the level is
completed, all of your remaining life will be converted into points and 
added
to your score.

      At the top left, under your life bar, you're going to see some 
numbers.

some graffiti you will earn points that are add to your score.  At the end 
of

      At the bottom left of your screen, you should see an icon of a
spraycan(s). If you have less than 10 cans, an icon will be shown for each
can you have. But, if you have over 10 cans, you'll see an icon of a spray
paint can with a 5 on it and a number after it.  This number will be how 
many
cans you have.  If you see nothing in the bottom left, that means you have 
NO
CANS. Every time you do a spray paint move, your cans will decrease by one.
So, if you perfectly do a large tag you will lose three cans of paint.  To
earn more paint, you will need to find more cans.  Yellow cans will give you
one can and blue cans will give you five cans.  At the end of each level all
your remaining cans will be converted into points and added to your score.
