  1. Doesn’t offer anything new to players who have played "Wave Race" and "Jet Moto."
  2. Performing stunts is easy -- almost too easy, if you ask me.

    An uneventful, but not altogether unenjoyable racing game that fails to distinguish itself from the pack. [Dec 2002, p.120]
  4. If you’re looking for a technically gorgeous title that truly shows off the depth of its environments to the limits of the system hardware, X2O does a beautiful job of giving the player amazing water effects.

    More extreme sports fun, but this time it's all wet. Finishing is only half the battle: performing tricks factors into the final standings. [Feb 2003, p.92]
  6. It's been developed so that the more you play it, the more you enjoy it. And there's enough depth and unlockables--not to mention a two-player mode--that this one is far less likely to collect dust than any other racers you may have in your collection.

    It's "SSX Tricky" on water. [Jan 2003, p.176]

For a 2002 game, the graphics, gameplay, unlockables, and bonus features truly make the game worth at least giving a try. Outstanding experience for a game made over two decades ago. Not even SSX could capture the universe JetX has put on table. Full Review »
