Kinetica review

We added a review ofSCEA’s futuristic racer, Kinetica:

The racing is fairly standard fare, you can get boost, powerslide, and unleash attacks on opponents via the numerous crystals that are scattered throughout the tracks. The controls are little loose, but they are plenty adequate. Where the game is unique, at least as far as futuristic racers are concerned, is its trick system. Very similar to SSX, Kinetica’s trick system rewards difficult stunts with boost, which is necessary to win the later races. Stunts can be performed on the ground as well as in the air by holding down the R1 button, and then moving the left analog stick in a predetermined pattern. There are a number of tricks that can be pulled off, but it’s just as effective to hold down the R1 button and wiggle the analog like a madman to do tricks.
