    This game is all about crazy action on crazy tracks. At first it seems a bit intimidating but you will be amazed at how fast you get used to all that is going on. It has great graphics and sound and the designs are all top notch. And the best part is the amount of control you have over how you want the two-player mode to work. Read more

    For the most part, Kinetica sports some pretty sharp graphics. The tracks range from complex (but visually bland) cityscapes to gorgeous wooded areas that really show off the game's engine. Unfortunately, while the frame rate doesn't usually dip down too low, when there's a lot of action on the screen the game can really chug.

    The interesting character design and unique stunt system set it apart from the pack, but the fluctuating frame rate, track design issues, and poor sensation of speed hold it back from being a really good futuristic racing game. Read more

    Reviewer: GameCritics.com

    Does the world really need another futuristic racing game? I found myself asking this question more and more as I glided down the myriad tracks of Kinetica . It felt like I had fired these same weapons and done these same power slides hundreds of times over, only in a slightly different form. I felt like I could check off every element I was seeing from a component list from other, more revolutionary games. General concept: F-Zero , check. Weapons-based gameplay: WipEout... Read more
