and for Japan on August 7. The PC version was released on November 30, 1997. Jet Moto was made available for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network on February 4, 2007. Twenty characters and three tracks are available at the beginning of the game, with seven more tracks unlockable by winning tournaments. Traditional tracks are also included, and typical courses range from beaches with debris-littered water, ice-covered mountains, and even a floating track set above a city. At the time of its release Jet Moto was seen as Sony's response to Nintendo's Wave Race 64. Reviews for the game were mixed, and Jet Moto the PC version holds 75% and the PlayStation version 78.9% at gaming aggregator GameRankings. Reviewers felt the game had solid gameplay, but criticized its high difficulty. Several reviewers praised the soundtrack to the game. Game Revolution called the Dick Dale-esque music "reminiscent of spy tunes from James Bond movies". The surf guitar was a strong point for Electric Playground, who cited it as one of the best video game soundtracks of 1996. GameSpot reviewer Shane Mooney said the soundtrack was "just the adrenaline pump [he] needed". Jet Motos popularity would earn it a spot in the PlayStation Greatest Hits in August 1998. Jet Moto 2 Jet Moto 2 (known as Jet Rider 2 in Europe and Jet Moto '98 in Japan) was released for the PlayStation in 1997. A Greatest Hits version of the game was also released. Due to an error during the disc printing process, a special edition version, Jet Moto 2: Championship Edition was printed instead of the original. This version featured six fewer competitors, but increased the game's speed to 30 frames per second. Jet Moto 2 was added to the PlayStation Network in January 2008. The amount of playable characters for this game was halved in comparison to the first game, with ten characters available at the beginning of the game and one unlockable character. Track amounts were greatly increased, however, with ten new tracks, and tracks from the original game. All the original Jet Moto tracks were locked from the start. The first original track became available to play after all of Jet Moto 2s tracks were unlocked. Once the player got third place or better on one of the original tracks it would become unlocked and next original track would be available to play. Due
