The third Sega-related entry on<br />
this list, Jet Set Radio took the<br />
platforming genre to the extreme.<br />
Set in the fictitious Tokyo-to, JSR<br />
cast players as rollerblading graffiti<br />
punks. They’ll protect their turf, pull<br />
of sweet grinds and tricks, throw<br />
up some sweet graffiti bombs, and<br />
defeat a corrupt police chief. The<br />
whole game was wonderfully eccentric<br />
and so incredibly unique,<br />
becoming an instant classic upon<br />
its release.<br />
Jet Set Radio was followed up by<br />
the Xbox exclusive Jet Set Radio<br />
Future, a game that many consider<br />
to have surpassed the original with<br />
amazing music, expanded gameplay<br />
and a wildly fantastic setting.<br />
Compared to other platforming<br />
franchises, Jet Set Radio is a truly<br />
unique gem, and it’s a shame that<br />
there hasn’t been an entry in the<br />
series since 2002. Now that the<br />
hedgehog has had his comeback,<br />
Sega need to dust off the ‘blades<br />
and take us back to Tokyo-to.<br />
So I’ve named six franchises that<br />
deserve a comeback, but as I previously<br />
stated, not every platforming<br />
franchise should come back.<br />
Here are the guys who should stay<br />
retired.
