Jet Velocity 3D

Game Description: Race with futuristic jets in an exciting 3D game!

How to Play Jet Velocity 3D:

• There are two different ways you can play Jet Velocity 3D.
• In 'Campaign Mode' you race against 2 other jets (which the game calls ships). There are 10 levels of play. Playing these unlocks new ships.
• In 'Make Custom Track' there are an infinite number of tracks you may play. You create your own race courses! You may race against 1-5 ships.

How to Play Jet Velocity 3D Campaign Mode:

• In 'Campaign Mode' you race against 2 other ships.
• To play 'Campaign Mode' click the 'Play' button on the main menu screen.
• Use your Up, Left, and Right arrow keys to control your ship. (You may also use your W, A, and D keys).
• The Down arrow key is not used.
• Run over the powerups (which look like blue ramps with white-striped arrows) to get a short speed boost!
• There are 10 levels of play.
• You begin at level 1.
• You must finish first to unlock the next track (the level 2 track) and the next ship.
• Continue playing to unlock as many of the 10 tracks, and as many ships, as you can.

How to Play Jet Velocity 3D Make Custom Track:

• With the 'Make Custom Track' you create your own race courses.
• To play the Make Custom Track mode click the 'Make Custom Track' button on the main menu screen.
• Length... The track length may be set from 100 to 1,500.
• Smooth... The smoothness of the track may be set from 150 to 1,000. The greater the smoothness setting, the smoother the turns. So, for instance, a 150 setting would have sharper turns and a 1,000 setting would have smoother turns.
• Opponents... Select from 1 to 5 opponents. For instance, with 1 opponent you would only race against 1 other ship. With 5 opponents you would race against 5 other ships.
• Difficulity... The difficulty may be set from 1 to 100. With a difficulity setting of 1, the other ships will be slower. (But slow being a relative term, they will still be plenty fast!) With a difficulity setting of 100, the other ships will be at their fastest possible setting.
• Click the 'Generate' button to preview your track before playing.
• Jet Velocity 3D will keep some of your recent track settings in case you want to play the same custom course again. To do this, click on one of the buttons (with the long string of numbers) right below where it says 'Latest levels' at the upper right corner. When you do, you should see a preview of your race course in the middle of your screen.
• Once you get the settings for the race course, as you would like them to be, click the 'Play' button to begin the race.
• Use your Up, Left, and Right arrow keys to control your ship. (You may also use your W, A, and D keys).
• The Down arrow key is not used.
• Some tracks may have powerups (which look like blue ramps with white-striped arrows). Run over the powerups to get a short speed boost!

How to Select Your Ship:

• You may select the ship you want to race with in both games: 'Campaign mode', and 'Make Custom Track'.
• Selecting a ship is not about choosing your favorite color. Some ships are faster. And each ship handles differently. You will very likely notice the differences.
• To select your ship, click the 'Select Ship' button from the main menu screen.
• Use the 'Next' and 'Prev' buttons. When you see the ship you want to use click the 'Select' button. This will return you to the main menu screen.
• When you first begin playing Jet Velocity 3D there are two ships that are unlocked: Ship 1 and Ship 2. The remaining ships are locked. (To unlock the rest of the ships you must play 'Campaign Mode' and win each race!)

Jet Velocity 3D Game Options:

• The microphone icon turns the game sounds on or off.
• The musical note icon turns the music on or off.

Jet Velocity 3D Playing Tips:

• You need to get off to a quick start! Hold down your Up arrow key before the race begins (as the clock is counting down) and keep it held down to start racing immediately.
• Try different ships. Each ship has it own strengths and weaknesses. Ship 2, for instance, is definitely faster than Ship 1 but handles differently.
• Hit those powerups when you can. This will give you a short burst of speed!
• Try not to bump into the walls too much. This will slow you down. (Hint: Use the center line in the road to guide your eyes).

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Jet Velocity 3D is quite challenging, and a lot of fun. The game has nice graphics and sounds. Although I personally like to play the 'Campaign mode'; the 'Make Custom Track' mode, which allows you to make the game as easy or as difficult as you want, is very interesting and quite fun too.
