Jet Moto 3 PSX
Game Information
Gameplay in the Jet Moto series differs traditional racing games, as players instead control hoverbikes which hover close above the ground and can be driven over both land and water. Most of the courses in the games are designed to take advantage of this ability. The game has a its variant of the traditional road course, but also introduces a new course type, known as a suicide course. Instead of being a continuous loop, these tracks have checkpoints at either end of the course, and the starting grid in the center. Characters race to one end, then turn around to head for the other checkpoint, repeating the process until all laps are complete. This provides a new gameplay dynamic as often the player must navigate oncoming traffic.Characters are split into teams, and bikes are adorned with logos of products such as Mountain Dew and Butterfinger, similar to real-life sponsored racing.

Additional Information
There are nineteen new tracks and environments to race on; the various locations will take you to the familiar volcanic islands, underground catacombs, heights of Machu Pichu, and a thick Sequoia forest. Additionally, five stunt park courses have been included and give players the opportunity to rack up a massive amount of points by attempting the most death-defying stunts. If enough points are awarded, some hidden goodies and bonuses will be unlocked.
As is the case with all other games in this series, Jet Moto 3 features realistic racing physics (the MotoPhysics engine) with the inclusion of magnetic grapples, the ability to lean, and adrenaline pumping turbo boosts. The latter feature has been altered with a hop button allowing a player's bike to lift itself in the air for a brief second (useful in the later courses).
Jet Moto 3 features a few gameplay options including Single Race, Season, Circuit, and Practice (the Single Race and Circuit are compatible with two players). As the name suggests, the Single Race is simply a non-competitive race without or against computer-controlled racers. The Season mode is the real meat and potatoes here -- choose a racer and head out in a point-driven tournament for the championship.
Among the other features are four difficulty levels for the Season mode (novice, semi-pro, pro, and expert) and realistic weather and environmental settings new to the series (snow and rain combined with day/night driving).
