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 breezy, explosive joyride through Hong Kong where crashing into everything and launching rockets from your car feels gleefully consequence-free.

About

Welcome to Hong Kong, where mystery and intrigue, money and power, and East and West intermingle. As the Yakuza terrorizes citizens, you arrive on the scene to answer the call of the city. You'll command an elite police unit called the Dragons, or you can play as a couple of spies hired to defeat Tiger Takagi--the head of the Hong Kong Yakuza. In 40 wild missions, you'll fire at moving targets with car-mounted rocket launchers, maneuver through the destructive environments, and experience real-time crashes and vehicle deformation.
