The game's gameplay bear similarity to Jet Set Radio with the exception of an option to switch between inline skates, skateboards, and BMX with each has different hidden functions, Reputation points (Shortened as REP) which can be gained by replacing other gang's graffiti with theirs, and access to flip phone which the player can use to access available sequence for the graffities they have collected after completing a mission, music for background the player has collected so far (Some of them are found in hard-to-reach platform) which can be manually picked and turned on or off from Red's phone, access to camera with the filter option and switch point of view between front or self (The camera's POV depends on the character's animation while holding the phone) and gallery with the option to view the captured photo in full screen and delete photos. Player gained access to boost pack at the beginning of the game which can help the player reach hard-to-reach platforms with correct timing. Boost pack fuel meter can be replenished by hitting vending machines and dumpsters which will spit out some fuel orbs for the player to collect. Player character also regenerates health over time if they are hurt (By cops, falling, unpassable wall hazard or DJ Cyber's disc during his boss battle).

Unlike Jet Set Radio's combo system, the game's combo can only be increased by leaning left or right before the player character hit a corner while grinding or wallride. The player can also use the boost pack to gain a large amount point multiplied by the player's current combo at the cost of some fuel which is useful for outscoring rival gang in Crew Battle.

Remembering everything and knowing that Faux is now project Algo, Faux already made his move and Devil Theory who were once working with the police now get thrashed by him. Just as Faux about to finish one of the Devil Theory member, Solace stepped in and stop him. Still...Solace's tendency to run his mouth made accidentally spill what's supposed to be an important secret that Red is Felix revived, making the situation worse. Seeing that Red is Felix now, Faux start rambling about going All City as he thought that he deserved for the title instead of Felix though this seems to reveal his true nature and Tryce voiced his disappointment of Faux from this reveal and called him a murderer. Faux said that he used to be like them, another writer who thinks that Art is Competition (Or something like that which is why they compete against other gang. A chill turf war) between gangs until he finally saw that Art is War. "Rules are only for those who believe in them," is what Faux think of the competition and he said that he will be "All City" without said competition. Red called Faux insane and said that Graffiti is competition and never about actually hurting others. He said that it still needs the society rule, and everyone (All writers) wouldn't be doing this if Graffiti is legal. Being someone who love the thrill of the challenge, he shouted that Graffiti would be boring if it was legal. Faux then rambled about Felix gaining so much by abandoning both he and Cyber back then and will do the same to everyone in the area (BRC, Devil Theory, all of them).

Oh god.... this is going to be a solid challenge as not only we are facing another tank walker, we are facing upgraded police like in the Mall but with snipers tagging along too. I swear...I nearly died from the gun fire shot by the tank's arms while avoiding the cop's firearm too. Ouch, ouch, ouch! When Red finally defeated Faux, their victory was cut short when Faux emerges from below as a strange serpent-like monster with multi-arms made of metal and killed Red by plucking his head off before kidnapping Solace and fled. As Red starts losing his consciousness without a body, Rietveld came and open the casket she was carrying which contain Felix's headless body (Oh and with the boostpack too this time) much to everyone's disbelief. Tryce said to her that they had better get social immunity from her since she is a police officer like Escher. Now that Red is fully revived as Felix, he is ready to take on Faux. Let's tag the giant button on each of these giant golden hands and quickly head to the next area.
