XGRA: Extreme G Racing Association

If there was such a thing as a perfect speed racer this is as close as it gets to be quite frank. Small complaints are the swivel of the vehicle to the centered camera at high speeds and way too many narrow track sections for a speed racer such as this. Still quite good cambering on most corners which is a common complaint I have with most anti-grav/arcade sci-fi/speed racers. Another common complaint I have is obstacles but thankfully there are little to no things you have to dodge here, whoever thought of putting obstructions in such a video game genre as this, I have no words. Well that's about all the negatives I have to say out of the way.

The variety and spectacle of the tracks is... breathtaking. The announcers much like Star Wars Podracer announcers add a lot of world building and comical narrative that is honestly kind of adorable in its candor. The soundtrack is stellar including some of BT's best work. And last but not least the handling is next to superb you feel the incredible speed, it's responsive and aligns perfectly with most of the speed to course trajectory.
