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 gleefully chaotic arcade racer where characters transform vehicles mid-race across land, sea, and air, with frantic power-ups and tight split-screen competition.

What players say

Players praise the transforming vehicles and stages as the core fun, and say the roster of Sega characters is a highlight. The PC port is widely criticized for needing a compatibility fix and being unstable. Players split on replay value: solo content runs thin after beating the campaign, but multiplayer stays fun.
