Extreme-G 2

THE BAD:
Complex controls. Menus are a bit difficult to navigate. Password system has digits that look too much alike, which can cause codes not to work.

SUMMARY:
The sequel to Extreme-G involves primarily racing with motorbikes that kind of look like they came out of the movie "Tron". There are several ways to play-Grand Prix with up to 12 races, Time Trials against the clock an Arcae-style shooter, plus fun multiplayer battle modes with tanks! You can also play races with or without optional weapons to keep it fair.
Part of the game's appeaal is speed-if you go fast enough and can hold it, it's possible to break the sound barrier in these machines. The courses have lots of turns & cool obstacles and the optional weapons add an extra dimension to gameplay, plus more bikes can be unlocked as you play through. On the downside, it...

THE BAD:
Occacionally clumsy control
Can be quite frustrating

SUMMARY:
Graphics: There is some slight fogging, but nothing major. The rest is rather colorful and detailed, looking good.

Sound: The music in here is acceptable, while the sound-effects are loud and clear.

Gameplay: The control might feel clumsy at times, and there might be some frustration, but it is normally quite great, with some lots of bikes and tracks to try out, neat weapons to use at high-speed-battles and a really good multiplayer.

Lifespan: With its number of bikes and tracks, coupled with good replay-value and a fine multiplayer this is a long-lasting game.

Overall: Better than Wipeout 64, Extreme G-2 is one of the better futuristic racers on the 64 and a fine game all in all. Recommended.
