Story:Ballistics is a futuristic racing computer game developed by Grin and published by Xicat Interactive in 2001. Grin developed an arcade version of the game, released in 2002 featuring a unique reclined seating position cabinet by Triotech Amusement. Players race across seven different tracks in various leagues against other competitors on high-speed hoverbikes.
The game was Grin's first to be released, and featured the first version of their Diesel game engine. Grin worked closely with NVIDIA to incorporate then new technologies into the game, and was marketed as one of the flagship titles for the GeForce 3 Series of graphics cards.
Critical reaction was generally favourable, with reviewers being impressed by the beauty of the graphics and the thrilling depiction of speed. They were however, slightly disappointed with the shallow nature of the gameplay. A newer version of the arcade game was released in 2003, incorporating motion simulator technology into the arcade cabinet.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.65
NO other game comes close to the sense of breaking the sound barrier as Ballistics (sound literally deafens once you break it). The soundtrack is amazing , the environment and tracks are great and the concept is pretty easy.
Some elements didn't age too well like UI/HUD, but the basic element of racing, learning your favorite track and memorizing where the obstacles are and which curves to place yourself in to max your speed are top tier.
Some say Wipeout, Redout or FZero are the fastest, I beg to disagree, once you hit max speed in Ballistics, there's nothing that compares to it.
Here's two youtube video to show off a bit how it feels ( jhaIwUo4-08 and 4kRh5CLByds )
Hope ONE day it will pop up on GOG!

Sega GT OnlineSega GT 2002 is the sequel to Wow Entertainment's Racing Game Sega GT, released in Japan late in 2002 as a competitor to the PlayStation 2's highly successful Gran Turismo 3. The game was originally intended to be released for the Dreamcast, but when the Dreamcast was discontinued in 2001, the game was reprogrammed for the Xbox. Following its initial release as a retail game, it was given away on a disk with Jet Set Radio Future in specially-marked Xbox console packages. Sega released Sega GT Online for the following year, with extra cars and an online facility to be used with the Xbox Live.
Sega GT 2002 introduced plenty of innovative features, many of which were later adopted by future games of its kind.
The game's cover features a Ford GT40 (called a Ford GT in the game), a Ford GT (called a Ford GT Concept in the game), and a Ford GT90.

True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox
