Kinetica is a PS2-era futuristic racer that Sony published back when they were still experimenting with what PlayStation could be. The concept is racers with wheels on their bodies, the handling is fast and arcade-smooth, and the track design holds up better than you might expect from 2001. It is in the PS Plus catalog as a PS2 classic and it is unmistakably dated in places. Worth a session for the novelty and the speed, but the limited content means you will have seen most of what it offers in a couple of hours.

Overview
About Kinetica
They're called kinetic suits. They represent a total merging of man and machine with one goal in mind: speed. High speed. The "drivers" do more than operate their cycles -- they become cycles for insane velocity and maneuverability in this ultimate futuristic race. Besides acceleration and braking, the kinetic suits allow various antigravity tricks that can be performed for speed boosts, not unlike the system seen in SSX. At breakneck speed, there's no room for error; quick decisions and lightning reflexes are needed to weave your way through the tight tracks. Strap yourself in for one of the fastest rides you'll ever experience with your PS2!
