High speed racers had been popping up on Nintendo consoles since the beginning. One of the earliest ones on the N64 was Extreme-G. Acclaim an be hit or miss with their games, but this seems like it's a pretty solid one.

"maybe even the best soundtrack on the 64" yea man this games soundtrack was actually insanely cutting edge, Goa trance had just started solidifying as a genre around 95 and this games music is really ahead of where the genre was at the time. This is closer to like 1998-1999 styles thanks to the higher bpm. Game's ost shaped my taste in music forever 💜

If it's any consolation, I doubt it's actually a "love letter" game. I bet that's just as good as they could get the graphics on their limited budget, so they decided to call it a "7th generation homage" to make the subpar graphics seem intentional.

I love seeing people visit the Extreme-G games, be it, the first, second, third or fourth. Since I speedrun each game in the Extreme-G series, I always love seeing people say that they loved playing this game. I will always standby my statement that XG1 is one of the best racers on the Nintendo 64, yeah F-Zero X is cool and all, but Extreme-G just FEELS fast. for F-Zero you have to hit a certain speed threshold to have the game feel fast. I hope you enjoyed the playthrough of the game. I am not surprised that you just unlocked "Bonus Track - The Island" with the unlock code haha.

Enjoyed playing this one as a kid. I remember using a "fisheye" cheat to give a faster appearance to driving and then also infinite boosters to make the speed through the roof. You couldn't really tell what was going on, but i thought it was so cool going that fast haha. Last year my kids wanted to have a dance party (they're 2 and 4), so i put this game's soundtrack on and strobelight the bedroom. They had a blast haha

My uncle was a developer on this game, he was one of the world moddelers. The track with no barriers was suppsoed to have them but was overwritten by an older versoion of the track before the barriers were added. However it wasn't caught before release and as there was no way to patch it after release it stayed that way. I remember playing this as a kid and trying to build up loads of qualifying points as I'd usually come last on that track, however with enough points you can still scrape by.

I'd say the real challenge is beating this game on extreme, getting all the extra points for the fastest lap on every race while palying with Jolt. Man, that bike SUCKS! It got decent handling, but that's all it got... Maybe the weapon. Excel is far better than pulse or laser (and that's why I think Roach is better than Neon). The soundtrack is top notch. Probably one of my favorites in every game I've played.

@FurryStockings 5 ай бұрын

One of my favorite games :) imagine this and the sequel got remade, with upgraded visuals, oh how I wish there was another racing game like this. Wait til you play the sequel "XG2" you break the goddamn sound barrier in it, sound/music become muffled too :0 I've never seen that in any racing game.

Absolute blast this game, but i definitely understand the frustration.. It's also often too fast to be playable while boosting, in the Gamecube version the tracks are much more ' elongated ' which supported the insane speeds alot more. But the N64 just wasn't capable of stuff like that, still a blast though!
