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

You grip the wheel as every corner demands edge-of-control aggression, with each impact and burst of speed feeding a raw, competitive thrill.

What players say

Players praise the graphics and soundtrack but are split on the handling, which forces drifting on every car. The AI cheats in races, the multiplayer is now desolate, and the base game feels thin without all the paid DLC. Reviews warn of a steep difficulty in certain modes.
