Upscale that shit
The 360 upscales?

Fuck.


I purchased the Jet Set Radio/Sega GT ‘promo’ disc from EBGames a few months back, for the princely sum of $1.99. I wasn’t convinced either would work, and I didn’t really care. For the price of a Gatorade, you can’t really go wrong.


They didn’t work.


They do now.


Fuck.


Jet Set Radio is quite possibly, the best looking game on the XBOX 360. No, im not being nostalgic nor am I trying to be edgy; I'm simply being honest.


Jet Set Radio has a lot of things going on at the same time. You’ve got an excellent soundtrack, mixed with beautiful visuals, and gameplay that allows you fuck about on rails in Tokyo. If this was 2001, this game would have cleaned up!


Oh, wait a second…


The thing that impressed me last night was just the sheer detail. Having owned this game at least four times in the past, I’ve only ever played it on shitty, SD TVs, no bigger than 28’’. Having the colours displayed on a 42’’ HDTV in my living room (with my wife bopping along to the music) made me literally explode. Being able to see the faces of the characters, and the detail in the streets is one thing, but being able to read the billboards, and clearly identify which Japanese schoolgirl you’d like to fuck is a completely new experience to this twat.


What a shame it is, that I could only play it for half an hour, because any longer bores me to fucking tears!


But what a half hour!

I would not normally bother with commenting this sort of thing, but honestly this is absolute drivel. You have, in a short post, proved unequivocally that there is very little substance not only to your grasp of communications but also the industry you apparently love. It is truely saddening to see this kind of mindless forum rant published in the public domain as if it has any worth whatsoever. In my country even the most low-brow lads mag will carry more descriptive writing in an article concerning breast implants than you have mustered in writing about one of the most complex and developed mediums of our time.
