I had a really hard time playing Jet Moto when it was first released. The controls, to me, were really difficult and it was incredibly hard to win any races due to that grapple function you had to use. I thought I was good at racing games back then (beat Wipeout and Motor Toon Grand Prix 2 using only the original digital controller, and did okay with Rally Cross 1), but this one threw me for a loop.
I haven't played the game since then, but my personal guess is that it did not age well. Still, for $2.99 I guess it's not a bad deal if you're curious. Much better than the ~$50 I paid for the original used (PSOne games were $60 back in '96, at least at Electronics Boutique).
