Did You Know Gaming? tackled Jet Set Radio, the classic futuristic skating game from SEGA, and revealed some interesting Bat-facts!

Did You Know Gaming? is one of the coolest YouTube programs around. Every week, they drop knowledge on a gaming classic. The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls, and tons more have received the fun fact treatment.

Their latest is a lookback at Jet Set Radio, a series not enough people talk about anymore. Jet Set Radio was first released on the Dreamcast and then received a sequel for the original Xbox. The games were inventive looks at dystopia and oppressive governments. But it wasn't bleak or super serious. While Jet Set Radio was a series about toppling the established order, it was also just a lot of fun. You got to rollerblade around a huge Metropolis, listen to funky music, and graffiti walls as you saw fit. 

Take a look at this:

These guys know their stuff, right? 

The Bantam Street level was inspired by Batman's Gotham City, which just shattered my universe all of these years later. It's time to dust off the Xbox and spray paint cans.

Seriously, these guys are awesome. Check out their YouTube channel for more!
