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 high-octane rush of chasing and escaping at blistering speeds in a vivid, cinematic open world.

What players say

Players praise the arcade cops-vs-racers action and nostalgic feel, calling it a fun, casual racing game with an active online scene. But many complain the remaster is buggy, requires the EA launcher, and focuses more on ramming than pure driving.
