Overview

The gameplay is similar to previous titles in the series but includes notable differences. XGRA boasts a diverse array of riders, tracks, and bikes that can accelerate at astonishing speeds, reaching 0 to 300 mph (0 to 483 km/h) in mere seconds. A returning feature is the ability to break the sound barrier: upon reaching 750 mph, all sound effects will cease, except for item collection sounds, other riders' taunts, weapons firing, and in-game music.

In XGRA, players can race for 8 different teams, each with bikes that possess unique advantages and drawbacks, such as Regeneration, Handling, Speed, Acceleration, and Shielding.

Reception

[edit]

XGRA: Extreme-G Racing Association received "average" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[23][24][25]
