This is the intro from one of the greatest racing games of all time, Kinetica. If you don't know about it, let me tell you something: this game is the beginning. It was one of (if not the) first games to use the SCE Santa Monica system, which was put into further use in games like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and God of War. The game doesn't simply let you have chances to win, you have to earn your victories; this is emphasized by the steep learning curve you experience from learning how to properly pull off stunts, learn the tracks, and master boosting.

Altogether, I freaking loved this game when I was younger, and I prefer it even to some newer titles. Nostalgia, you have once again made me your bitch.
