''Extreme-G'' is a Racing Game that the first game of the ''Extreme-G'' series. It was Developed by Probe Entertainment and Published by Acclaim Entertainment . GAMEPLAY As with all ''Extreme-G'' games, futuristic racing pilots race Plasma -powered bikes in an intergalactic Grand Prix at speeds that are over 400 Km/h . The emphasis is on speed and creative racetrack design, with tracks looping through like Roller-coaster s. Each of the machines have their own Handling characteristics, with varying top speeds, armor values and Traction values. All of the machines in the game have an energy meter which powers the machine's protective shields. At the beginning of each round, the player is given three "nitro" powerups which provide a temporary speed boost (these powerups cannot be used for the first lap of the race or replenished). If a machine loses all of its energy, it will explode on contact, causing the player to lose a life or the match. However, energy can be regained by driving over special recharge icons in the road. It is also possible for players can also fall off the tracks, which are shown to be several miles up in the air. ''Extreme-G'' has championship mode ranging from notice to expert, shoot-em-up mode, multiplayer, Deathmatch (with tron bikes). In Shoot 'em Up mode you shoot computer drones that follow a set, linear path while the player shoots them with ''Extreme-G's'' arsenal of weapons.. The game ranges from easy to medium difficulty. It has some of the better Trance Electronica in a N64 game. One of the defining characteristics of the game is the sound effects of the futuristic plasma engines of the tron bikes driving at incredible speeds. Championship modes increase the Tron bike plasma engine's horsepower so you can go faster. The ability to hear a plasma engine break the sound barrier is also in the game. There are shortcuts, but the tracks are very linear. |
