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 loud, fast arcade racer where pulling off tricks and stringing combos feels breezy and flashy on wheels.

About

Huge air, phat moves, and sick tricks! Race on 70 real BMX bikes, skateboards and in-line skates. More than 270 burly tricks and combos. Motion capture by X Games phenom Andy Macdonald. Unlock hidden courses, characters, and equipment. 13 racers on 27 insane courses.

What players say

An extreme-sports racer that tries to juggle BMX, skating and combat at once and never settles into any of them, leaving the pacing muddled. Decent visuals for its time but largely seen as mediocre and forgettable.
