Jet Moto 2
Review from the Net
Ok, to start off. I loved the first game, at first the games was stupid but the game was great. The second one is much of the same, but in some ways it is a lot better!! I played the first one until I was sick, and then I had to sell it. Poop. Ok, now on to the review. Graphics- The graphics in this one are much of the same again, but, the added details, such as the inclusion of the blue plume of smoke from the rear of the bike, very nice effect!! The track graphics are great just like in the first one!! The first one I thought had too much of a Twisted Metal feel to them, but, theis second one has some very nice graphics, like, the NEBULOUS!!!! I'll get to this track later, all in all the graphics are nice but nothing to stand up and cheer about. 8 Sound- Alright!!! The music has gotten better, some people my not agree with me, but I thought the Pulp Fiction type of music in the first one got very nerve racking, and well, basiclly sucked. Now the second one has some very suprizing yet nicely thought out tunes, more like guitar riffs. On with the sound effects. I thought the bikes sounded like lawnmowers and they still do!!! The turbo sound is perfect like always!! and now the riders cheer when you make a nice looking stunt, personally when your playing as say, Wild Ride, you would think if SHE cheered that it would sound like a women cheering, but insted you get some dork yelling "YEAH!!" insted, I liked the crowd cheering better. Now the high points, at one point in the game when I was playing another rider yelled at me to: "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!". Wow, nice sounds and when you play in the 2 player mode, when one player falls off the other laughs histariclly!! The verdict: The music is great, the bikes stink, and the voices are good. 9 Gameplay- Now, this is where the first and second games shined!! This game is soo long!!! Now insted of trying to win all of the courses and just getting a title screen that says it's "Code Enabled". You now have a trophey case that is empty, but each time you win the game, you get your name on the trophey and get a nice "code" medal!! I've gotten everything so far and boy was it hard!!! One point that may not be important, but is too me. The turbo in the first games didn't appeal to me because when you pressed the turbo button you shot off into space!! In this one you accually control the turbo in real time, that is when you press it down you can hold it down and keep hauling butt!! The stunts in this game are the same, you know, press back and the right shoulder button and do a flip + corkscrew. Very nice. Overall the gameplay is great!! 10 Analog Control- Forget digital, analog is king!! The controls are superb and the pyhisics are excellent!!! The two sticks control everything, the left stick controls the the steering, plus it acts as a button too!!! Press it and the grapple comes out!!! The right stick controls the acceleration and braking, plus the turbo!!! And the best part of all the acceleration is analog too. That means push the stick up some and you go about 20, but jam that baby up and you're pumpimg 90-100!!! Oh, yeah. The sense of speed is also back too!! All in all the control is nothing but a dream!! 10+ Track Design- I know this isn't a standard thing, but in Jet Moto you need it!! The first track, Slickrock Gorge, it has the small jumps, plus something else!!! There are now curved walls, this may sound stupid, but you need it!! When your racing down the track at 90MPH you need a nice curved wall to go up on and basiclly slingshoot yourself down the track!! The inclusion of tunnels is pointless but fun indeed!!! The best part of all is the new corkscrews!!! Those are great!!! I'm speechless. But as in the first paragraph, the Nebulous course is stupendous!!! The person who designed this track needs to have a medal. At first your racing on a nice looking course, looks alot like heaven!! Violin music fills you ears, and suddenly you get to a drop-off, mist shrouds the groud!!! Whats below?? Well, you are transported through the mist, and in a flash of lighting you are tranported to the depths of HELL!!! Heavy guitar music fills you ear and your doing nothing but 100+ the whole way!! The lava below lights up you underneith with a pale red glow, and then, zoom, back to heaven!! And that's not half of the course!!! Perfect 10++ Overall- This game is great, almost the same but there are enough changes to make any Jet Moto fan wet their pants, and any other player drool with delight!! This game is great, do not rent, buy!!!! Final Average-10 (It's true!!) LuciferŪ deathegg@geocities.com www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Battlefield/7109/
