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

Zipping over water and land on a hoverbike feels slick and breezy, with courses built to reward momentum and the freedom of floating close to the ground.

About

Jet Moto 2 is the sequel to the 1996 game Jet Moto. Gameplay in the Jet Moto series differs from traditional racing games, as players instead control hoverbikes which hover close above the ground and can be driven over both land and water. Most of the courses in the games are designed to take advantage of this ability.

What players say

A hoverbike racer fans consider the best in its series, with over-the-top physics, varied tracks and tighter handling than the original, though it is still notably tough and riders fly off unpredictably. Divisive among critics, but a nostalgic favorite among PS1 racing fans.
