    It's just that the game is thoroughly polished. You turn it on and everything feels right; the music, graphics, and even the menu system all complement each other perfectly. [Nov 2003, p.147]

    While the game doesn’t offer a lot in the ways of bonus features it does offer a nice amount of images to unlock – a small reward for playing through the game.

    The lack of depth may hurt overall sales but in my opinion it increases the fun ratio to equal that of a great, arcade racer.

    It's bigger and more ambitious than any of its predecessors, but XGRA is hindered by a few unfortunate technical and design issues.

    XGRA isn't as impressive as "Extreme G 3" was when it first hit PS2 and Cube. The graphics look roughly the same, it plays similarly, and it has the same main drawback: not enough tracks. [Nov 2003, p.174]

    The changes don't amount to much; it looks a lot like the last game and sounds worse. Ouch. [Nov 2003, p.78]

    At first glance, with it's twisting, gravity-defying tracks and fluorescent visuals, XGRA might remind you of the recent "F-Zero GX." Upon further inspection it's actually slower, sometimes much slower, less colorful and a lot less interesting.

    This is a step backwards from the mediocre Extreme G Racing III. The courses aren't as good, and graphics somehow look worse. The This is a step backwards from the mediocre Extreme G Racing III. The courses aren't as good, and graphics somehow look worse. The gameplay is about the same. There are at least 10 racers on the ps2 better than this. Another thing this game shares with the 3rd version is a overly long and stupid title.… Expand
