90A little "Tony Hawk," a little "SF Rush 2049," and a lot of "Wipeout" mixed together perfectly to form one of the best racers in a while.
-
It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way through. It's an amazing rush. [Nov 2001, p.155]
-
Takes an established genre and gives it an SSX-style touch. Wipeout fans everywhere should give this game a try.
-
85It’s a fast-paced, adrenaline rush kind of game, and it’s really quite difficult, but that should just mean it’ll keep you busy for a while.
-
83The unique racing experience offered here stands out from the pack of futuristic titles with high-speed action and gorgeous graphics.
-
The slammin' soundtrack and an engaging trick system overcome a somewhat inconsistent framerate to make Kinetica more interesting than most its competitors.
-
The 2-player aspect of the game is limited by the poor field of view (which would have been better handled with an i-link and two TVs), but the single player mode is serious futuristic racing at it's best.
-
80It's a very fast and fun racing game, as well as a very challenging one.
-
80Not only is it superior to the competition in every graphical aspect, it's superior in every gameplay aspect, too. Heck, it practically annihilates "Extreme G3" and the last two "F-Zero" games released.
-
Kinetica has done bold new things with track design and playability, as well as giving gamers the sugar rush of speed that racing game fans crave.
-
A graphically impressive, inventive racing title that is somewhat diminished by slightly erratic control and lack of depth. [Nov 2001, p.108]
-
80With a limited number of tracks and hidden riders to expand the game, you may find that it’s biggest challenge will be keeping you interested past the rental return date.
-
80It’s the perfect game for men who like speed and men who like thongs (and you know who you are). We can only imagine that Kinetica 2 will feature racing car women who secrete beer.
-
A cool game that's been suspended from greatness due to its less-than-stellar track design, lame weapons and stunts that are often not as cool as they should be.
-
75While the core of the game is pretty bland, the trick system is excellent.
-
70The 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.
-
70A unique trick system combined with beautiful graphic design are enough to give it a whirl. Difficult is the key word.
-
70Despite its setbacks, Kinetica is a decent racer that’s worth trying—it offers a phenomenal visual rush into new age racing.
-
70No matter how you stack it, Kinetica plays like "F-Zero" and "SSX"’s evil offspring. Taking the best of both games, Sony has made a great genre slightly better.
-
60The changes Kinetica introduces into the formula are so miniscule, for the most part, that only a true connoisseur would notice or care.
-
There are fleeting moments when you’ll have absolutely no idea where you are or what just happened before eventually realizing that it’s impossible to really wipe out or "come off" the track. [Dec 2001, p.105]
