To the game's credit, the Turbo bar has been improved now you get one bar per lap that can be drained little by little, rather than just having one quick boost each lap , and the graphics and music are a bit better no more Pulp Fiction-esque tunes, thank God , but overall, there's just not enough here to keep racing fans satisfied. I suppose if you were a fan of jet Moto, you'll like this one, but other-1 wise--save your pennies and rent it.
As with the original, let Moto 2 is a solid racer with decent control and slick graphics. It's also just as frustratingly difficult as its topsy-turvy predecessor. The fault here lies not so much in the control but in the courses--some of which are confusing, while others are just plain unfair. I don't know how many times I slipped from first place just because I took a turn a little too wide and flew off the track.
You need patience to master this game. It can't be a good thing when, while playing this game, all I can think of are ways to improve it. Jet Moto 2 has some of the most original racing tracks around, but they were designed with looks in mind, not functionality. The tracks usually punish you for going too fast I don't like jumping a ramp full speed, only to crash into a poorly placed sign.
The control also needs a lot of work. For patient gamers only. There is a practice mode, which allows you to race against the clock with no other racers on the track. Like all practice modes, this is very helpful in sharpening your racing skills and getting familiar with the tracks before you step in against the competition. You can only race on the tracks that are available to you at this point.
The third game option is the full season. This is the place you need to spend most of your time. Because you only start the game with three tracks available. In order to unlock the next three tracks, you must finish in first place on the first set of three. Now, be careful because if you have your difficulty setting on Ammeter, no tracks will unlock.
If you are set on intermediate, only the next three will unlock. The only way to unlock all nine tracks is to set the difficulty to Expert and finish in first place on the first six tracks. Finally, you have a custom circuit. The custom circuit has three modes of gameplay underneath it as well. You can select the rally, championship or elimination. Once again, only the tracks that have been unlocked are available for the custom circuit.
There is also a stunt race that is not available until you win a full season with the difficulty set to professional on all 10 tracks. This gives your bike extra performance enhancements when you complete a particularly good stunt.
A little incentive for some showboating. The racing itself takes place on a Jet Moto bike, which is a cross between a hovercraft, jet ski and dirt bike. It reminds me of the bikes that were used in The Return of the Jedi.
It is the same basic concept except instead of screaming through a forest, you are bailing through a swampy marsh. The bike has all of the modern equipment and features you would expect from a high-powered racing vehicle. Of course you have your accelerator and brake. There is a turbo button that is an added kick in the pants. The bike has only four turbo boosts per lap so they must be used wisely. The last item that the bike is equipped with is the toughest to master but most rewarding when you do figure it out.
It's called a Magnetic Grapple and it is used to whip you around sharp corners. At various locations around the track, you will find red energy poles.
This pole allows you to use your grapple to swing around the turn without losing much speed. Now, the tricky part is releasing the grapple at the correct time.
If you let go too soon, you will be shot out to the far side of the track. If you don't let go soon enough, you will smash into the energy pole or a boundary marker. If you let go at the right time, you will slingshot past you opponents. The controls of the bike are very simple and responsive. I do find that once you get turned wrong it is difficult to recover without loosing serious ground. The L1 and R1 buttons are used for doing a sharp turn. If you are really leaning into a turn, use one of these buttons to help make the corner.
The L2 and R2 buttons are used to correct yourself if you get knocked sideways on your bike. The TruePhysics that the designers used are very cool. You actually feel the drops, speed, collisions and crashes. This also makes the bike respond different when on different surfaces.
