The graphics in this game are very good for the PS1. The texture maps, water splashes, sand effects, and the waves add to the experience. If you have a PS2 you can smooth the graphics out and make them look even better.
Soundtrack: Now this soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard, right up there with Wipeout's. The music is exciting and beautifully reflects the environments of each course.
Animations: As you race through each track taking tight turns, you can feel the weight of the craft as your rider pulls on it to just make that turn. And when you get some big air it feels like the rider is actually flying through the air.
Soundeffects: The soundeffects are equally superb. The sound of the jetmoto makes you believe that your really racing on a anti-gravity bike. The water slashes, solid landing sound, turbo boosts are all done extremly well.
Now for the one thing I did not mention above, the controls. If you have played Wipout then you are ready to play JetMoto. If you have never played Wipeout JetMoto's controls are overall good, become difficult in the tight courses.
I'll give you some advise, MASTER THE GRAPPLING HOOK! Some of the tracks are frustratingly hard and if it becomes a little too much to bare go to this web site for cheat codes.() Despite its few short comings JetMoto is one of the best anti-gravity racing games I have ever played and definetely worth the your money.

This game created a whole new race style. With the grapple system, it really was unique. The rider profiles and teams really made it cool. Brings back so many memories.Best Deals for Jet Moto
Although it hasn't aged well Jet moto still is fun and difficult. It's by the same people who made the twisted metal series so it shares some music.One of the complaints is the graphics, they are pretty bad, the difficulty is also insane on some tracks where the AI is always faster then you. The game also runs slow compared 2 and 3. It's a good game that really hasn't stayed the test of time, but for a nostalgia trip, it's worth the little cash.Honest reviews on Jet Moto
Jet Moto, Sony's answer to Wave Race 64, was an instant hit for Singletrac back in 1996. Singletrac, best known for its' Twisted Metal games, set out to make a futuristic racer in the vein of both Wave Race 64 and Wipeout and succeeded. Players control riders on hoverbikes which hover close to the ground and can be driven over land and water. The game utilizes a system called the Magnetic Grapple in which pressing an assigned button creates a magnetic attraction between the player's bike and red energy poles that are placed throughout the courses. This enables the rider to swing around tight turns with his bike without slowing down. If done properly, it helps players cross gaps to large to get over as well as propelling riders out of turns alot faster than when going in. Chracters are split in teams with bikes adorned with logos of sponsors just like in real-life racing. 20 Characters and 3 tracks are available at the beginning, with seven more tracks unlockable by winning tournaments.Jet Moto is best known by fans for its' suicide courses. Tracks have a point A and point B. Racers begin at point A racing to point B and back again, all the while facing other oncoming racers coming towards them. It's also known for its' somewhat outrageous track structure mixed in with traditional courses.
I fondly remember setting up all night on the weekends with friends playing this game, just to see who had bragging rights when the night was over. Most of the time they'd win but, every once in awhile, I would win. I'll admit, it took alot to beat this game. I love this game and still play it to this day.
