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
It feels like a goofy, anarchic truck rampage where reckless shortcuts and customizing your rig matter more than realistic racing.

About
The PS2 port of this game betters the original with new tracks and additional graphical details. As the truck maneuvering maniac, your goal is to race against competing truckers any which way but loose. Drive on sidewalks, search for shortcuts, discover secret roads and plunge headlong into traffic with no reservation. You are, after all, a maniac. Upon winning races, the player gets a can of aerosol to paint designs and emblems on the body of the truck. The sides, top, back, and head of the vehicle are open canvases for you to drop paint and swirl a menacing symbol or a nature panorama. Preset designs may be chosen or you can create your own doodles which help you help your truck emote. The action is hot and the paint jobs add to the ambience.
