94Visually, be prepared to be stunned.
-
90The sense of speed delivered is phenomenal, from the sounds of your bike revving at the beginning of the race (kind of like a jet engine...), to the smooth frame rate, you will certainly feel like you're shooting along at hundreds of miles per hour.
-
90Extreme G3 is so good, that if and when "Wipeout Fusion" is ever released it will have to be such an amazing game to even kiss the shoes of G3.
-
90Although there are a few minor annoyances, its unbelievable speed, mind-blowing tracks, and great upgrade selection make this a definite sleeper hit for racing fans.
-
90The visual impact of the game is fantastic in terms of the surroundings that you race through, the shape of your bike and the track design.

89Let me tell ya something -- XGIII is a flat-out, go-for-gonzo experience, the coolest racing game I've played in years.
-
86A smart and solid racing game that provides an amazing feeling of true speed.
-
84It's very fast, it's beautiful, and it's engaging, challenging and fun...In the racing category for the PS2 right now, there is nothing quite like XG3.
-
83A good game. A fast game. A beautiful game. It is also a short game - I beat it within a day. Now, keep in mind I've had more speeding tickets than you've had hot dinners.
-
As much fun as I had with Extreme G3, I have to give the slight nod to Kinetica in this issue's futuristic racer debate. [Nov 2001, p.110]
-
Until we see what "WipEout Fusion" can offer, its the best futuristic racing game available on the PS2.
-
80An intensely addictive, if not particularly innovative, racer.
-
You've never before experienced speed like this in a game. [Nov 2001, p.154]
-
For strictly pedal to the metal action that requires leaving your brain in park, Extreme G3 is a blazingly fast and fun ride.
-
75You'll be grinding your teeth every few minutes as you realize the difficulty that Acclaim has sunk into this thing.
-
XG3 features a thrilling sense of speed which more than makes up for a dull soundtrack and unoriginal environments.
-
70These intense, roller coasterlike tracks will twist and turn until you swallow your tongue and beg for mercy.
-
While there are a few glaring problems, most notably with the poorly implemented multiplayer features, plain jane graphics, and lackluster AI, XGIII Extreme G Racing is still fun to play.
-
70The shortcomings in getting the player involved in the league mode are easily offset by the driving itself, which is strangely addicting even though it can be difficult and repetitive at times.
-
Even at those speeds, the heart-pounding moments are few and far between. [Nov 2001, p.206]
-
On the whole, this definitely delivers the rush speed freaks crave. [Dec 2001, p.105]
