Kinetica is a futuristic racing game for the PlayStation 2. It is set in the future versions of Earth's major cities, outer-space, and some fictional locations over a wide range of time in the distant future. The game has little respect to gravity with racers with wheels on their hands and feet racing up the sides of buildings and through rough terrain. The nine racers that are available for gameplay are Ava Giovanni, Cera Esper, Vigor Desoto, Xia Covault, Zinon Tera, Razzo Corsair, Siba Gastron, Greck Auger, and Crank.

The mechanics of the game are the same as any racing game; be the first to cross the finish line. But that is where the similarities end. The which-way-is-up aspect and the unique racer designs are what truly set this game apart from the rest.

The music in the game is mainly House, Breakbeat, and Trance. The soundtrack is very Oakenfold-esque with tracks by Amoebaassassin, Skope, Hybrid, Way Out West, and Meeker.
