Jet Moto 2 - Reception

Reception

Jet Moto 2 received mixed reviews from critics. It currently holds a 70.08% at GameRankings, a video game aggregator. Like Jet Moto, the game's popularity would earn it a spot in the PlayStation Greatest Hits. Between the original version and the Greatest Hits Championship Edition, Jet Moto 2 would go on to sell over 800,000 copies.

Reviewers generally praised the new variety of tracks offered, and the fact that the original Jet Moto tracks could be unlocked. GameSpot stated that the variety of courses "take the Jet Moto series yet another step away from the traditional racer." Reviewers also noted improved graphics over the original, citing that the game seems to have a less polygonal look. The improvements to the physics system were especially praised by IGN, calling them "even more over-the-top" and that the game was "simply more playable". GameSpot felt oppositely, stating that the physics seemed to have degenerated from the original game. They noted that often a rider will fly off in an odd direction when thrown from the bike.

As with the original reviewers felt that, though the gameplay had improved, it was still too difficult. IGN noted that the product placement seemed excessive, and felt the game was not unique enough from the original in the end, calling it "Jet Moto 1.5".
