This being the last game in the series is especially crushing thanks to the gigantic jump in quality compared to the second instalment.
The racetrack's topography is much more interesting here, and the higher speeds you can reach make shooting through the air incredibly fun, when it was something you'd want avoid in the last two games. The track design still gets pretty CBT on the latter half, but the game is too much fun to care that much.
The stunt mode is very fun too but fuck unlocking that legitimately I'm cheating.

A fantastic game for the original PlayStation console, Jet Moto 3 combines colorful graphics, excellent racing controls, and a rad techno soundtrack for the ultimate 1999 video game experience.
Like many PlayStation games during this era, this was my older brother's game. He and I would often race one another for hours on end. As he got older and his interest in games waned, I would race my friends in the neighborhood. We all loved Jet Moto 3. Its race courses were so unique and unlike anything we had seen before. The soundtrack was incredible and always stuck around in my head. Plus, who doesn't love a Mountain Dew hoverbike?!
Looking back on it, the fun memories I had of this game absolutely hold a special place in my heart. As I watch a long play video of Jet Moto 3, familiarizing myself with all the tracks I knew by heart as a young kid, I'm saddened mostly by the fact that I can no longer find a legal way to play this game, as well as that the series died here.
While it was no Mario Kart, it was a simple racer; sometimes that was what young 90s kids needed.
