You know that movie Wayne's World 2?' That’s DJ Professor K – not Tokyo-to’s wild-haired radio maestro, but the mind behind Jet Set Radio Live. 'So the story goes: One night in 2016, I was in a deep sleep. Xbox off and out the flat tune out of Jet Set Radio Future, and tune into Jet Set Radio Live. When I strapped on my skates and tore down the Dundee waterfront, I didn’t have to leave that world behind. More than its ageless aesthetic and slick gameplay, Jet Set Radio is a mood – a loud, upbeat world of freedom, resistance, and sick beats. I could write ten thousand words on why that game still kicks ass, even a decade and a half on. But see, a few months earlier I’d dug out my old Xbox and every spare hour I found was spent grinding (hah) out 100% completion through SEGA’s 16-year old masterpiece, Jet Set Radio Future.
It’d been a solid decade since I put my heels on wheels.
Two years ago, after one of those rare 'gainfully employed' summers, I caved and bought a pair of rollerskates.
