The story follows a gang called the GG's, which consists of the leader Corn, Co-Leader Gum, and the main character YoYo.

Set sometime in the future, the story of Jet Set Radio Future revolves around futuristic Tokyo which is in control by a man named Gouji and his police force, also known as the Rokkaku police. The government is very strict, and several gangs, including the GG's, have decided to rebel against the oppressive government and fight back. Gameplay is similar to the original Jet Grind Radio. You'll take control of any character that you have in your gang and you must go around a level collecting spray cans. Yellow cans get you 1 spray while blue cans get you 5. You must then tag up the graffiti of other gang members. After you tag a certain amount of graffiti, you are done with the level. Some require you to fight a boss though.

During the game, you'll generally fight the Rokkaku Police. In fact, that is the only thing you'll be fighting. To fight the soldiers, you must bump into them, causing them to fall, and you must spray them with graffiti until their health lowers. Some guards are tougher to take down, and thus you'll have to use a speed dash which is done by collecting 10 cans and pressing B. Bosses have more health than the soldiers so the soldiers will only take one can to take down while others will take several more cans to take them down.
The game features the same kind of cel-shading that it was well known for in the original game and is considered by many to be one of the most impressive looking games on the Xbox to date. The game also has an amazing and quite lengthy soundtrack. The soundtrack adds up to about 30 songs ranging from various J-Pop artists and video game music artist such as BIS and Scapegoat Wax. JSRF also features a multiplayer mode which is only available to play locally. They have races, capture the flag, and various other games. All of these games can be played with up to 3 other players. As well as a multiplayer mode JSRF also features a robust graffiti editor allowing the player to create their own graffiti tags for use in the game. New graffiti designs can also be unlocked.
Note that the other names are from Jet Grind Radio. These characters were also in the original game but had a name change in Jet Set Radio Future.

Character list
Beat- Beat was the main chracter of Jet Grind Radio and is featured on the boxart of Jet Set Radio Future. While in this game he does take more of a backseat role there are still several important roles in the plot involving him. Beat is also the first character that you unlock.
Yo-Yo: yoyo is a green haired blue hoodie wearing member of the GG's and is the character that you start the game with. You use him as you go through the tutorial and is one of the only 3 available characters in the start of the game
Corn: Known as Tab in the previous game, Corn in this game is the leader of the GG's and is often found sporting a baseball cpap (with a very exagerrated height) and a blue coat. Other then when he is offering general support he does not really have any important roles in the main storyline. Corn is also one of the 3 characters that you have available from the start of the game.
Gum-gum is the co leader of the GG's and is one of the few female members of the gang. She offers general advice pertaining to the storyline at several points throughout the game, and is the member that teaches you the controls and gameplay tips at the beginning of the game. She is one of the only 3 characters that you have unlocked from the beginning of the game
Combo: Combo is a very tall muscular man that is always holding a boombox. He enters the storyline when rival gang poison jam covers the area of shibuya terminal in graffiti. After you complete the level of covering up there graffiti combo appears and accuses you of commiting the act and then challenges you to a grinding challenge. If you beat him at the challenge he becomes the second unlocked character that joins your gang.
Ryth-Ryth is the next character you can unlock and is an entirly secret character which means that she has nothing to do with the plot and if you really want to you dont even have to unlock her! You find her in Rokkaku Dai Heights and must play a game of tag with her until she will agree to join your team.
Garam-Garam is found when you enter the Tokyo underground sewer system. when you get stuck in a pit in the sewers he appears to save you, but first he teaches you an advanced skate trick known as grabibing it helps you to get huge air off of ramps. He then sends down a pole allowing you to grind up to safety and joins your team.
Boogie-Boogie is a secret character that you can unlock in Kiboagaka Hill. In order to get her you must simply talk to her. This is a bit diffiicult though as she is onyl on the screen for a short amount of time and you must grind your way up to her before she disappears. Once you talk to her she joins your team and makes no other appearances in the main plot.
Clutch-cltutch initially appears into the story as an antagonist as he steals all of your graffiti souls (a collectable object in the game) however after you track him down (he will spawn from level to level) and talk to him he regrets his actions, returns your items and joins your gang.
Jazz-Jazz is the final story related character you unlock, when both you and her are kidnapped by the rival gang noise tanks you are forced to team up together with her to face off against them in a game of Death ball. Which if you win has her join your team and you both getting released.
Cube-Cube much like Clutch is an antagonistic character initiially, she is the leader of the gang known as Poison jam who are responsible for a lot of mishap throughout the story. However if you talk to Gum enough she will tell you that cube is looking for you down in the sewers. If you go down and talk to her again she challenges you to a race which if you complete makes her join your gang.
Soda-the final hidden character in the game, soda appears in Highway Zero and simply joins your team if you beat him in a race because he is "bored" there is nothing else in the story to do with this character as you unlock him pretty late in the game.
