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.

What players say

Players praise the realistic physics and damage modeling for a 2006 game, along with the large number of tracks and tuning options. However, some note that tracks feel repetitive and there is no direct head-to-head AI racing, while one reviewer points out that major crashes end your career, forcing a reload.
