Let me sketch something out for you.

Imagine yourself in a hoverbike race for your life over the skies of Heaven to some mellow and pleasant orchestra music of public domain variety, playing a risky game against other racers to try and speed ahead at the cost of a potential fall into the void below to whatever could be possibly awaiting you down there. Fret not, because you will know soon, as the same track across paradise ventures off downhill into Lucifer's domain of death metal guitars, darkness, and fiery checkpoints. Survive if you can across this literal platforming hell, and you will make your nice return trip to the promised land....only to do it again....and again.... and literal holy hell does it rule.

To this day, still the coolest track concept I have ever seen.

Gloriously awesome courses adorn Jet Moto 2, and it probably still has one of my favorite soundtracks on the system courtesy of Chuck Meyers. This is good, because learning the tracks themselves is even more important than ever, otherwise you'll be falling off cliffs and smashing your head into the bottom of checkpoint signs like that Stormtrooper in Episode IV. God knows I engaged in time trials to an insane degree on my uncle's old disc. Unfortunate that the CPU is pretty ruthless in the higher difficulties, it was a nice reminder when I opened the case again and found a piece of notepad paper in there with the track unlock code on it. It's always quite a nice surprise when you go to keep your phone on hand to potentially look something up, only to find that your kid self had you covered. Thanks me, good on ya. I'm sure whatever copy of Tips & Tricks I had growing up that originally had it was lost in the forever void of moving trucks.

All the terraflops in the world and we still haven't topped that track yet, you gotta love it. Always stay winnin' og Playstation.
