I picked up this game over the weekend.  I am very impressed with the
physics modelling they've done for this game.  It feels so real!

For those that don't know, in this game you ride a Jet Ski that just so happens
to be able to run over land and ice as well as water.

It behaves very realistically... bouncing over the waves, just like a jet ski
would.  If you don't time the jumps right, you'll hit the waves wrong and
lose time.  

Courses range from simple water/sand/concrete highway, to swamps, ice, snow,
and steel gridwork (suspended high above a city).

Only 3 courses are available when you start.  You must win the three courses
to get to the other tracks. Win 'em on medium difficulty to get 3 more, and
win them on hard to get an additional 3 tracks.

I found the 1st three got a little tiring, so I entered cheat codes to get
the rest of the tracks.  I'll post the codes when I have time.

I'll post a review too when time permits, but for now, I'll leave it at:
"You gotta see this game!"

    >   p.s. I know, not the topic, but have you tried Rally Cross ?
    
    No, but that was another one that looked good from reviews!  Is it
    as good as it was hyped up to be?

re .3

YUP!

I've lost a lot of sleep this past weekend playing Rally Cross. ;^)

Same premise as Jet Moto, you get a half dozen cars and 3 tracks to start. Then
as you progress and win seasons, you get more cars, more tracks, ect... I'll put
up a review when I get time.

112.6Track codes + moreMETALX::SWANSONVictim of ChangesTue Apr 22 1997 18:2353
    ALL TRACKS:      
    
    to get all the tracks without beating the season, goto the options
    screen, set the difficulty to amateur and the trophy presenter to male.
    then go back to the main screen by pressing start and enter in the
    following code: U, R, D, L, U, R, D, L go back to the options screen by
    going left once and pressing X. set the difficulty to prof. and the
    trophy presenter to riders choice. then hit start to go back to the
    main screen. now enter in the following: U, L, D, R, U, L, D, R you
    will then here a noise to signify that it worked - SUBMITTED BY:

    Smash the House Up
    
    In the black water fall level you can go in the house by raming the
    door - phreak
    
    After-Season Codes:
    
    The only codes I know of for Jet Moto can only be used *after* you've
    beat a season with all the tracks on the hardest setting. But if you
    want them, they are: 
    
    Super Agility: down,O,left,L1,left,right,left,right. (this lets you
    pull tricks quick and easy) 
    
    Zero Resistance: square,L1,triangle,right,L1,down,R2,triangle 
    
    Double Stunt Points: right,up,O,L2,triangle,O,R1,R2 (the name says it
    all) 
    
    Show off camera enabled: triangle,down,square,triangle,L1,L1,R1,R1
    (this really sucks,try it) 
    
    Air Brakes: R1,R2,right,L2,up,O,up,O (very handy avoiding air wrecks) 
    
    Rocket Racer-triangle,up,up,L2,L2,up,up,up (makes you run turbo speed
    all the time,you'll be
    winning cypruss track by 30 seconds with the right racer,it rocks!!!) 
    
    Unlimited Turbos: triangle,O,right,R2,up,square,up,triangle (not much
    use but for acceleration
    with rocket code) 
    
    Ice Racing: up,R2,R1,right,L1,square,right,right (makes everything
    slippery as ice, very hard) 
    
    Hint supplied by: Ian Buxton
    
    2 player Computer A.I. code. It is 0, [], r2, 0, triangle, L2, right,
    up

        I think Rally Cross is as good, if not better then Jet Moto....(A
    couple friends of mine think Rally Cross is better too.) Don't get me
    wrong though, Jet Moto is an excellent game...

I'll have to check out Rally Cross then.  I was meaning to ever since I
read the Absolute Playstation review on it.

BTW, which player do you usually use in Jet Moto?  From the 5 or 6 that I've
tried, it seems like Gunner works the best.

    I know this isn't a rally cross topic (can be moved), but has anyone
    gotten to the last three bonus trucks ???? I tried last night, the
    booklet says to win 3 pro seasons to unlock them. I did this last
    night and got nothing...!!!???? (took some time to do...)
    
    Anyone know anything about this ?? How about codes to get them ?
    
    Thanks,
