The year is 2040 but man's need for speed remains as thirsty as ever. Racing takes flight with futuristic airships that skim the air at sonic speeds. To help abet your finish line ambitions, a couple of cannons and other weapons are at your disposal to knock an opponent's speed down or bump him from the course. The design of the racing tracks range from natural terrain to modern raceways complete with tunnels and overpasses. A selection of weapons is at the ready to help knock fellow racers from the tracks or generally impede their progress. Originally released only in Japan as Hresvelgr: Formula Highpowered, Gust created Hresvelgr: International Edition just six months later. It's this second version that Crave Entertainment had planned on releasing in the US as Jet Fusion GT before changing its mind, and the same game that Ubisoft picked up for the European market as Jet Ion GP.
