Strap your hands across your GCN Controller and motorcycle down these mean streets of the grim techno-industrial future.
The third installment in Acclaim's combat-bike franchise, XG3 boasts 12 daredevil drivers, 10 sinuous courses and enough advanced weaponry to satisfy the prop man on a Schwarzenegger blastfest.
The main one-player mode takes you through a series of three-track leagues (Lithium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium) named for those funny-sounding elements at the outer fringes of the periodic chart. Each race is two laps. Within a league, you must place at least seventh out of a field of 12 in order to advance to the next track.
As many as four leadfooting friends can zoom together in Team Grand Prix, Head-to Head or co-operative modes.
The GCN's gazelle-like graphics processing makes possible for the first time Acclaim UK's vision of track splits, loop-the-loops, corkscrews and vertical climbs and plunges, all at a buttery-smooth 60 frames per second. Save for falling snow and the occasional animated billboard, though, the environments are static and sterile. Weather and time-of-day for the harbors, mountains, glaciers and canyons are not configurable.
XG3 delivers speed in abundance and as such makes a superb showcase for the NINTENDO GAMECUBE system's graphics capabilities.
Features:
- A playable racing field of up to 12 bikes.
- Feel the force of racing speeds up and above the speed of sound!
- Twisting tracks that lead you on an adrenaline-fuelled frenzy through futuristic cities and into the gut-wrenching heights of the upper stratosphere.

- Turbo boosts taking the bikes to extreme speeds and gravity defying environments.
- A detailed bike animation system providing complete feedback relating to the bike's handling, showing air-brakes, flaps, weapons and thrusters.
- A landscape animation system bringing the worlds to life.
