Jet Set Radio

Set in a near-future Tokyo, you and your group of street-tagging skate-gangsters (called “GG” or Grafitti Gangsters) set out to take control of the streets. You hit three large areas of Tokyo and trick, skate, and tag your way throughout–all while being pursued by rival gangs and police. This game is not only visually awesome, but it is also one of the first, and only, in-line skating games that aren’t lame. It was so popular on Dreamcast that, later on, it was ported to Gameboy Advance and even to the current-gen systems with an HD remake.
