Gameplay Systems

This installment, like all Extreme-G games, focuses on futuristic racing : pilots compete on plasma-powered Tron -like bikes in an intergalactic Grand Prix, reaching speeds exceeding 999 mph. Each machine features distinct handling characteristics, including varying top speeds, armor values, and traction levels. All machines in the game possess an energy meter that includes two separate energy stores for protective shields and a primary weapon. If a machine depletes all its shield energy, it will explode upon contact, resulting in the player losing a life or the match. Players may also fall off the tracks when navigating jumps or similar obstacles; in such cases, they are simply teleported back to the track. Each player is granted three " Nitro " boosts per race. Extreme-G features a championship mode that ranges from novice to expert, a shoot-'em-up mode (referred to as "Arcade Mode" in XG2), multiplayer racing, and deathmatch . In shoot-'em-up/arcade mode, computer drones follow a lunar path while the player attempts to destroy them using Extreme-G's arsenal of weapons.
