The graphics may not be the best but the levels are detailed and creative, which happens when you can defy the laws of gravity. This game forces you to use every trick to get every ounce of speed because the other racers are FAST. You MUST do stunts, controlled spin-outs (with mini-boost afterward), and know when to cling. VERY entertaining, lots of raw speed, and depending on the individual, can make you dizzy.

I like it!

Sure there is alot going on, and at times the action can be hard to keep up with, but...it's fun to play...the tricks look really cool...and it's a challenge. The graphics are fairly decent, but don't forget this is an early generation PS2 game...Also, the soundtrack is great...I love Trance/Progressive style music so I may be a bit biased..features tunes by: Juno Reactor, Hybrid, Amoeba Assasin, and more.

So, overall if you're looking for a "fun" game that is quirky and futuristic then give Kinetica a try.

Just needed to complete my ps2 game collection

This game is kinda fun for the price. I only paid $8 that's with shipping. If you like racing and you just want it in a different form, then you'll like this game. It's easy and simple. you just race. Would not pay more than $10 though.

Oh, yeah, I love playing a game racing people with wheels glued to their hands. I completely dislike this game and think that It could only truthfully deserve -50 stars, but for some weird reason, you don't have that setting. The graphics look like a 1 year old drew them and that same kid came up with the idea of people with wheels for hands. Oh Im gunna beat you wheel man! ...

Some professional game reviewers or verteran game players may disagree or agree with me, when I say that this game is really awesome! For me it has up beat music (Hybrid, Way Out West, and the oh so awesome Juno Reactor to name a few for fast racing. There are no weapons such as lasers, guns, missles, or blades (there is one item that sends a "shock bolt" to other racers, but it only slows them down to 0 mph with no damage). I don't like racing games to have weapons of distruction while you race. The only games that are cool for that are Kart games and Twisted Metal. Another cool thing is that the racers are racing in their race armor suits. The wheels are attatched to their hands and feet (most of them) and they lay down and race that way. You can do stunts in the air or on the ground, and it is so fun. I can play this game constantly with no bore. This is of course just me. I really think that this game was custom made for me alone, thats how much of a poerfect game for me this game is, in the racing category. It almost feels like you are in the world of the movie "The Fifth Element."

So if you like flashy stunts, fast non-combat racing, upbeat music, and fast racing, this game is one you should check out. I only wish it was 4 players, it still rocks though.

Very fun and enjoyable!

When I bought PlayStation 2, I also got a game called Kinectica. Kinetica is a game where you race in futuristic cars and tracks. The cars go about 200 MPH, which unfortnately may take some time to get used to. The graphics are decent and the game looks realistic. Overall if you want a good super-fast racing game, I'd buy Kinetica.

The funnist racing game I own

Kinetica was the first PS2 game I bought and I still play it till this day. The graphics are sweet the story is pertty good but the sound track for this game was perfect. I just wish sony could put it out on a cd so that I can purchase it.

One of the Best PS2 Games I've ever played!

Kinetica is a futuristic game that allows you to race in a Kinetic suit on awesome tracks. the suits allow you to easily pull off over 7 different stunts. The tracks move off in to different areas, there are no plain trcks in this game. You can play by yourself in a Season (which you can unlock the tracks for when you play with your friends), a single race, or just a practice race to memorize your tricks, which give you boost to better your chances at winning. You'd be crazy not to like this game!

unique and original

the first time playing kinetica a few years ago, i mus admit i didnt like it. Back then, i found it difficult, but i soon realized that the only reason i found it so difficult was because i had little to no expierience in racing games. I waited, i played the need for speed series, and i picked this game up again. Now that i have more expierience, this game is an adrenaline filled rollercoaster.

The game feastures full body suits, that have wheels on the hand and feet, which race you through a futuristic worlds of ups and downs. Through the entire expierience, you are never completely sure which way is up, since you are constantly shooting up, and along side walls.

The best feature of the game is the boost system, which ties directly to the trick system. Doing tricks is an amazong display of twists, turn and lights. You can do flips, spins, both at the same time, and many other arial acrobatic tricks. After preforming these great acrobatic feats, you earn boos which makes you move MUCH faster.

So you may say, why not a four star rating. There is only one gripe i have about this game, and it is a problem that can be the ultimate downfall of many games. The game is just too short, iwas able to beat it in a solid two hours of gameplay, which is a less than inspiring statistic.

If kinetica would have been made just a bit longer, i think it would have been a five star game. Thats not to say that the short time you are playing is not exciting quite the opposite actually. If you have a lot of freind who can't get enough racing games, then this is the perfect multiplayer delight, and the game is even fun repeating the career several times, well worth the measley 5 to 10 dollars for the speed nut!

Fast and Furious!

This game is hot, folks! Take a bunch of people with wheels on thier hands and feet, send them flying through multiple fully realized, 3-D enviorments, ranging from futuristic urban locales to steamy ancient jungles and beyond, set the whole shebang to some killer techno (most noticably from Paul Oakenfeld) and you've got Kinetica, one of the stand alone best titles for the PS2. This is the fastest game I have ever played, using all the speed and grace the powerful PS2 processer can muster up. The controls take ony a short time to learn, though I'm betting they take a lifetime to fully master. This game gets my personal highest rating due to its graphics mastery, lightning speed, superb gameplay and overall technical prowess. Much thanks to Sony for showing us just what the PS2, elder statesman in the neuvou games race, can really do.
