5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Greatest futuristic racing game out there!, February 21, 2001

By	James Cox (Rumson, NJ) - See all my reviews

This is definately my favorite racing game ever. No, I am not kidding. This is the kind of racing game I like. It has very interesting and awesome tracks. (Not to mention lots of them!) Tracks are the most important thing in a racing game I think, and from the gritty industrial look of Tox City to the huge skyline drop of Sensara, these are certainly the coolest tracks I have ever seen in a racing game. And they are not too dark, they are perfect. If you don't like them, turn the brightness up on your TV. (you shouldn't need to.)

This game also has serious speed. Breaking the sound barrier is incredibly cool. All the sound and music is drained out and you actually feel like you are going that fast!

When it comes to combat, Extreme G 2 scores high also. There is nothing like blasting five homing missiles up an opponents tailpipe and watching their bike lose control and blow up after leaving a trail of black smoke. There are also many, many cool weapons found everywhere.

Extreme-g 2 has loads of replay value, with its may different modes of play to unlock. I still don't know if mirror mode is the last, because I am still working on it! I simply love this game, and if you want cool futuristic racing with awesome tracks and weapons, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extreme-G 2, November 17, 2001

By	Aaron "aarontimmy" (USA) - See all my reviews

Wow. I have to tell you, I am greatly imppressed by this game. The lighting and color are one of the best for the N64. The controls are the best of all racing games. The game play is totaly cool and addicting. You'll love this game if you are a fan of really REALLY fast racing. The tracks are amazing with great detail added to them. WARNING: If you want to play this game, you have to have serious cooridanation and reflexes. I mean you have to have extremely good ones. This games racers go extremely fast and sometimes hard to control on the track. When the racers go fast, it is hard to anticipate whats comming up on the track.

Other than that, this is an extremely good game with great lighting. Sometimes it gets a little dark and hard to see but sometimes in the game, you can pick up a headlight.

Overall, worth your money. I would buy this used but that's my opnion. Better than the first. Lots more options and racers and tracks!

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is awesome! There are 36 tracks and they are all long and heavily detailed. My favorite ones are Tox City, Anville, and Sensara. It is so cool when you break the sound barrier! There are also lots of cool bikes and secret bikes, and all the different modes of play seem neverending! Every time a beat one mode, another becomes available! This game rocks!
