Official descriptions (2)

Kinetica provides pure arcade-style racing with several original twists, the foremost of which is the use of kinetic suits--scientifically advanced exoskeletons that fuse with individuals, allowing them to harness excessive speed, incredible agility, and the ability to adhere to almost any surface. Antigravity maneuvers are essential to going ballistic on high-G vertical climbs and maintaining stability at terminal speeds. Moreover, the maneuverability of the kinetic suits allows racers to perform insane stunts and draft behind opponents to enhance the suits' speed. Each of the 12-plus tracks set in six different racing environments has its own unique personality, design tempo, and challenging obstacles. Kinetica tracks are specifically designed to allow the pure competitive nature of racing to assert itself in the most dramatic ways possible, including offering multiple line corners, alternative crossover pathways, and more. Finely tuned artificial intelligence will keep you on edge as each opposing kinetic racer adapts and adjusts its driving over the course of the race. Using strategically timed turbo boosts, planning Boost Syphons, and drafting off opponents will stimulate the competitive element within the interactive field of racers.
