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

Driving monster trucks feels arcadey and over-the-top, focused on smashing through obstacles and pulling off crazy stunts in familiar stadiums and outdoor environments.

What players say

Players widely pan the controls as unresponsive or wonky, and call the main driving mode a poor clone of the Trials series. Opinions split: some find it simple fun for young children, while others say it is one of the worst games they have played. Complaints also include a short length, no free roam, and missing legacy trucks.
