Review: Jet Moto (PS1*)

Graphics- 7/10
Sound- 9/10
Gameplay- 7/10
Replay Value- 6/10
Overall- 7/10

Jet Moto is a basic racing game with jet skis instead of cars. The graphics are decent and the soundtrack is excellent, but the game is very difficult and will take a long while to master.

Simply put, Jet Moto is an average racing game. The thing that sets it apart is that the vehicles are all-terrain, rocket-powered jet skis. However, other than the skins, they all look the same. The developers had a chance to something really innovative, but they passed up the opportunity. Also, they made this game very hard. On easy difficulty, the game is, well, easy. Other than that, the learning curve is very steep, and it is almost impossible to unlock all of the tracks. Also, this game has VERY blatant in-game advertising. The most innovative part of the game is the grapple, which allows you to make sharp turns very easily. If used wisely, this can save you from losing a race.

On the other hand, the graphics in this game are decent. Most of the levels look pretty good, and the character models are detailed. The soundtrack for this game is great. Each track has a different tune and all of them, with the exception of maybe one or two, are really good. Also, the sound effects are decent.

Pros: Graphics, soundtrack, grapple.
Cons: VERY difficult, Cheap AI.
