I'm a huge XG fan and of course I HAD to get this latest version of the game. Although I will admit that it cannot beat XG2 for N64, this game is awesome. It has the feel of extreme speed and the music helps to add to the atmosphere. The graphics are better than ever for any XG game -- as is expected. All of the race tracks are good too. This game has a great replay value because once you beat it on single player you can always play the multiplayer version against friends or team up to race together. I loved the new aspect of being able to race on the same team as a friend! The only improvements to this game would be the addition of a few more tracks, or maybe different variations of the existing ones as in previous versions of XG. Overall, I would reccommend this game to anyone, and it is a must-have if you are a big fan of racing games!!!

Not so good, G3 tries to copy wipeout and f-zero

Wipeout XL is one of the best racing game ever and Psygnosis is awesome. After the new generation consoles came out (Xbox, PS2, Gamecube), games like Quantum Redshift, Wipeout Fusion, and F-Zero GX all try to copy the original Wipeouts. Quantum Redshift and Wipeout Fusion are horrible. F-Zero GX is a good game but lacks weaponary. Im still waiting for the new 'real' Wipeout to appear.

Extreme G3 tries to copy wipeout and f zero. The way the action moves, the way the track moves, the steering action, all feel decent. Air brake works good. The turning has limited range, I find it impossible to steer the race bike in reverse track fashion. The courses are pretty good, the shaloms, downhills, twists are all nice. However the tracks could've used some jumps or ramps, and tunnels.

The graphics is good but worse than the other 3 games. Graphics is more like Dreamcast or N64 quality but still good and gets the job done. The sound is lame, the techno music is cheesy and very low in quality. And all the bikes look the same.

The weaponary system is nice. There are many types of weapon and you can carry up to 3 per race. You can switch between weapons and use the boost feature too. This part Acclaim did a good job.

Problems: There are no alternate camera views. No replay.

Overall this is an average game.

Extremely Fun, but Gets a Bit Old

This game is pretty good, but rent it before you buy it. The graphics are very good, but some of the courses are easy. Also, to people that don't often buy racing games, I don't recomend it for it might turn you off from that genre. As for racing games, get Mario Kart Double Dash when it comes out, THAT is a good example of a racing game.

Nope.

I didn't like this game. PS2 has it's Wipeout Fusion, Xbox has it's Quantum Redshift, and Gamecube has this. This game dosen't compare to the other systems. It basicaly is a very mediocre futuristic racing title. I suggest you stay away.

Not very good

The concept here was good, but poorly executed. I have played a lot of games on the GameCube, and usually I resign myself to playing games that have great critical reviews. This title I picked up as a budget title, and after a week, I sold it. It is fun as a rental, but save your money for other purchases. So far, Nintendo's own F-Zero franchise looks to be heading in a similar gameplay direction as this game. I only hope that F-Zero for the GameCube turns out better than this.

Fun and cool

The best game I ever found--by accident!!!

I got this game because it had a picture of a girl on the cover, and I figured my daughter would like it. Well, I of course had to try it out, and lo and behold, I found the best game I have ever owned. I play tons of PC games, and I have every game worth getting, as well as owning about 26 GameCube games. This is a game that tests more than your ability to manipulate a controller, as it requires some intelligent decision making. I am not really that good at most games, and usually plod along on the easy levels, but this game, although it does not have easy normal and hard levels, is almost intuitive. Despite the fact that there is a bit of a learning curve, it is fun all the way.

The scenery is splendid, and I don't just mean graphically, either, as the futuristic settings are compelling.

I am 39 years old, and reach for this game daily. Of all the games I own this is by far the most fun to play, with a real draw to play it again. Best of all, you don't have to trudge through levels with all sorts of hidden stuff to discover. If this is your first game, or if you everyone except this one, get it.

By the way, forget getting it fot the kids. Once an adult tries it out, the kids will be sitting around watching you play.

This game rates an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.

This is the best

I was spending the night at a friends house. When we went to go rent a game he rented Extreme G3 racing. I thought that the game would suck. But i was wrong. When we started playing i was immediately hooked.

The levels are gorgeously designed and the colors are vibrant and beautiful. You never get the feeling that your doing the same thing again. The courses are so unique. Some provide challengs such as many turns and loops, while other require you to use your weaponry more.

The co-op mode is a great twist. In most racing games, you only race against your friend. In this mode, not only do you and your friend get to work together, but you get to actually play the game. Race against other racers instead of just each other. The power-ups provide a twist in the gameplay. But as you get the power-ups, so do your opponents, making you have to think about what you get.

This game is one of those games that highlights the excellence of the racing genre. It is perfection, in video game form.

A must Have Game For Extreme Racers
