You no longer need a Dreamcast to play Jet Set Radio.

I was never a big fan of the Dreamcast, but it did have a couple of titles I really liked. One of those was Jet Set Radio, a hugely enjoyable game in which you would skate around a city and mark your turf by “tagging” walls, billboards, and rival gang members with spray paint. I’m sure you’ve already heard of it.

Now you can enjoy this awesome game on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad — because it’s just hit the App Store.

Jet Set Radio for iOS is an almost identical port of the original, but Sega has made some improvements, such as sprucing up the graphics for Retina display devices, and adding Game Center achievements and leaderboards.

There are also new controls for touch-based devices, which allow you to apply graffiti by swiping the screen; and you can use your device’s camera to take pictures that can be used as graffiti in the game.

Jet Set Radio wasn’t only famous for its unique gameplay, but also its awesome soundtrack. And 29 of the 30 tracks in the original game are in the iOS release. Isn’t that awesome?

I don’t think I need to convince you that this title is worth your hard-earned cash. So what are you waiting for? Go grab it!
