The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A chaotic, fast-paced arena shooter where rounds are frantic and maps constantly shift, keeping action unpredictable.

What players say

Players praise the co-op and zany weapon variety, but say the single-player campaign is short and mediocre. The multiplayer is dead, and the game lost its community after leaving Xbox 360. Some note it causes motion sickness and feels dated.
