Just as a little history lesson JetMoto is made by the same people who made the first two Twisted Metal games and Twisted Metal Black. If that is not reason enough to get this game I will give you some more. For anti-gravity racing fans out there buying JetMoto is an easy decision to make, but for all you other gamers JetMoto is a very challenging game to play, it will definitely test you to your limits. Like Wipout, JetMoto is a futuristic racing game but with a twist. The twist is, what makes it different from Wipeout, it is a mix between anti-gravity racing and MotoCross. The graphics, soundtrack, animations, and soundeffects pull you into the game and never let go.

The graphics in this game are very good for the PS1. The texture maps, water splashes, sand effects, and the waves add to the experience. If you have a PS2 you can smooth the graphics out and make them look even better.

Soundtrack: Now this soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard, right up there with Wipeout's. The music is exciting and beautifully reflects the environments of each course.

Animations: As you race through each track taking tight turns, you can feel the weight of the craft as your rider pulls on it to just make that turn. And when you get some big air it feels like the rider is actually flying through the air.

Soundeffects: The soundeffects are equally superb. The sound of the jetmoto makes you believe that your really racing on a anti-gravity bike. The water slashes, solid landing sound, turbo boosts are all done extremly well.

Now for the one thing I did not mention above, the controls. If you have played Wipout then you are ready to play JetMoto. If you have never played Wipeout JetMoto's controls are overall good, become difficult in the tight courses.

I'll give you some advise, MASTER THE GRAPPLING HOOK! Some of the tracks are frustratingly hard and if it becomes a little too much to bare go to this web site for cheat codes.(www.ign.com) Despite its few short comings JetMoto is one of the best anti-gravity racing games I have ever played and definetely worth the your money.

this is a great game, but since it's so old and more racing games have come out, it's been left behind. Rent it if the racing game you've been looking for is not in, and from there, you make the choice of buying it.

This game is awesome. This was my first Playstation game. The brand names such as Mountain Dew are a very nice touch. The courses are challenging, but not so much that it gets to be too hard to play. There's lots of jumps, and on these jumps you can execute various freestyle maneuvers and get extra points for it, as well! Even if you get tired of this game after a few months, the Soundtrack is excellent. It plays the background music from each of the courses. Just pop it in a CD player (other than your Playstation, o course) and jam on!

Although it hasn't aged well Jet moto still is fun and difficult. It's by the same people who made the twisted metal series so it shares some music.One of the complaints is the graphics, they are pretty bad, the difficulty is also insane on some tracks where the AI is always faster then you. The game also runs slow compared 2 and 3. It's a good game that really hasn't stayed the test of time, but for a nostalgia trip, it's worth the little cash.

Jet Moto, Sony's answer to Wave Race 64, was an instant hit for Singletrac back in 1996. Singletrac, best known for its' Twisted Metal games, set out to make a futuristic racer in the vein of both Wave Race 64 and Wipeout and succeeded. Players control riders on hoverbikes which hover close to the ground and can be driven over land and water. The game utilizes a system called the Magnetic Grapple in which pressing an assigned button creates a magnetic attraction between the player's bike and red energy poles that are placed throughout the courses. This enables the rider to swing around tight turns with his bike without slowing down. If done properly, it helps players cross gaps to large to get over as well as propelling riders out of turns alot faster than when going in. Chracters are split in teams with bikes adorned with logos of sponsors just like in real-life racing. 20 Characters and 3 tracks are available at the beginning, with seven more tracks unlockable by winning tournaments.

Jet Moto is best known by fans for its' suicide courses. Tracks have a point A and point B. Racers begin at point A racing to point B and back again, all the while facing other oncoming racers coming towards them. It's also known for its' somewhat outrageous track structure mixed in with traditional courses.

I fondly remember setting up all night on the weekends with friends playing this game, just to see who had bragging rights when the night was over. Most of the time they'd win but, every once in awhile, I would win. I'll admit, it took alot to beat this game. I love this game and still play it to this day.

Game is fun overall but unlocking the upper levels is tough. I would like to own a real machine like it though.

Me and my friends used to play this game non stop for hours at a time when it first came out. It was so addicting and so much fun playing with friends. You can even upgrade your bikes I think. Such a fun game.

This is the game that got me through medical school. I still play from time to time and definately when old friends get together. The physics is fantastic. The strategy is to maximize your inertia. Turbo on long straightaways. Turn as little as possible. Of course you do have to turn quite a bit. Once you have won the season you get to do stunt races, where certain stunts recharge your boost. After mastering the game it is still fun to try and race for times (whole course under 30 min is good) or race against a friend. The sequal JM # 3 is also great, JM #2 I was never crzy about but it looks cool for ps1 graphics.

This game is challenging! I still haven't got it yet though I'm ordering it from the internet. Anyway, I know this game is challenging because my friend has it. I love this game! I usually pick, "The Max" for the game. Anyway, I'm so obsessed with this game. There's no calming me down. The tracks and racers are awsome! If your a racing fan. Come buy this game now!

The game is really easy if you pick one of the light bikes, and you have to work at it for a while. If you have trouble don't enter the codes, because if you enter the codes you won't get any better. Once you get good at the game use the heavy bikes and try to finish well with them.
