Story
XG CAREER OPTIONS
PALUS
Welcome to Palus. It has been over 20 years since Palus's visionary, Gabriel Artimus, conceived and designed the Graviton Drive. Since that day, many have imitated but none have surpassed the elegance and fluidity achieved by Palus's manufacturing.
Our technology can be found in most household products, from the early Sentivacuum cleaning models through to the luxurious Graviton 8000 ground cruiser. Palus is proud to be a sponsor and participant in the Extreme-G Racing Tournaments.
Palus: let the mind improve the soul.
PHASE ONE
"What drives a man to risk everything in search of glory?" This was the question posed to Phase One's team manager ten years ago by the head of Lunar Industries. Lunar was looking to raise their corporate profile, at any cost.
As a result, Phase One graduated from the lower racing leagues to the premier level of racing - Extreme-G. We pride ourselves in being the most prominent, exciting and controversial racing team on the circuit. We risk everything in search of glory.
Phase One is a subsidiary of Lunar Industries.
TERRANOVA
Speed. Glamour. Excitement. These three words encapsulate Extreme-G racing. And these three words describe perfectly the ethos here at TerraNova.
We deliver the racing experience that everyone adores - high production values, mass media coverage, incredible exhilaration. These are the things that make TerraNova the number one choice for racing fans. Be a part of that team - live the dream.
TALON
Privately funded by three high-profile CEOs, Talon is, and will always be, the most profitable racing group on the Extreme-G circuit (XG financial report, 2230).
We have no boundaries when it comes to victory. We have no boundaries when it comes to design. We have no boundaries when it comes to engineering. We will use the best drivers and we will push the rules to their limit.
We require nothing but complete dedication from our workforce. This is why we win.
Talon: there are no boundaries.
VIXEN
Formed in 2218, Vixen is proud to be the only XG team fully staffed by women. Psychological tests have proven the female mind to be not only more capable of digesting information than the male, but also a small percentage faster.
As such, we believe our drivers have an edge over the competition. Elegant and sophisticated is our motto join the team that has evolved.
Vixen is an equal opportunity employer.
STARCOM
Thank you for showing an interest in Starcom. A privately funded team, Starcom shies from the hype and publicity surrounding the Extreme-G Racing League.
Nevertheless, in the interests of the group we are seeking new talent to join our world class racing team. We seek only experienced drivers looking for a new adventure. With Starcom, you will see the world like you've never seen it before.
LEAGUES
Lithium League
•
1) Muon Harbor: Welcome to the twin cities of Muon. Although one of the first XG tracks to be constructed, it remains the most popular with XG initiates due to its elegant oval design conducive to extreme speeds. The early evening race offers a beautiful vista across the harbor.
•
2) Verdegrand: Starting from the Verdegrand suspension bridge, the circuit provides spectacular racing between the wind turbines and through the valley wall. Although relatively gentle, Verdegrand has hosted some of the most compelling XG races in recent years.
•
3) Crystalaria: The disused research station of Crystalaria provided a perfect base to the XG architects in 2202 when they began construction of this, the most remote of the XG circuits. The track cuts gently through the ice caverns, and across the glacier plains with track routes and splits close to the mountain edge.
Rubidium League
•
4) Atradaitoshi: Constructed high above the city streets and between the city's skyscrapers, the circuit has breathtaking drops and jumps that push the most skilled riders to the max. Busy city traffic continues despite the extreme racing taking place among the clouds.
•
5) Siris Canyon: At 15km, Siris hosts the longest of the XG races and arguably one of the most breathtaking. Rising from the depths of the canyon floor, the track climbs up over 200 metres through a 360 degree vertical loop, before cutting back into the valley and between the canyon walls.
•
6) Oceania: 2138 saw the construction of Earth's first ocean based city: Oceania. And where better to host an XG race with its jaw dropping loops and twists, and gut-wrenching plummet deep into the ocean. The central tower offers XG race fans amazing views of the circuit as the bikes reach their supersonic speeds.
Caesium League
•
7) Tundaria: The military base and tracking station of Tundaria provides the setting of the opening race of the Caesium League. Its coastal location hosts a complex circuit that twists between rock faces and rises high above the hills before diving under the sea and into the Tundarian bay.
•
8) Megalopis 7: The Earth's largest city, Megalopis 7, hosts the most technical racing circuit. Snaking between the buildings and structures, and deep towards the city streets, the circuit gives one of the most challenging race experiences and is amongst the greatest entertainment for XG race fans.

Items & Weapons
MINI-GUN
Rapid-fire projectile weapon capable of firing up to 5,000 rounds per minute. It is powered directly from the bike's on-board energy source and uses titanium-tipped solid Uranium shells.
ROCKET
Rocket propelled high explosive that detonates on impact. This unguided missile is designed to be fired in salvos from shoulder-mounted launchers.
REAR BLASTERS
High-powered plasma stream thrusters that temporarily increase velocity and can also be used as a short-range rear-facing weapon. In full burn, the afterburner cone extends far enough back to cause heat damage to following bikes.
E.M.P.
A weapon-disabling pulse rifle that temporarily disrupts all weapon systems on a targeted bike. It takes several seconds to recharge between shots.
HEAT SEEKERS
Rocket propelled guided explosive that detonates on impact. It has the ability to follow its target, overcoming the need for careful aiming.
MICRO MINES
Short fuse proximity mines that detonate when hit by other bikes. They are deployed from a hopper at the rear of the bike and detonate upon contact with an opponent or after a limited time.
LEECH
An energy draining homing missile that drains energy from enemy bikes to boost your energy levels. Once locked, magnetic clamps secure the device and the gyro-electric feeder system initiates.
DESTABILIZER
A deflection field generator that disables handling systems of all enemy bikes within its field area. It generates a low frequency electro-magnetic field that oscillates erratically, disrupting opponents' gyrostabilizers.
FLASH MORTAR
A quick burst extreme light emitting flare that blinds all riders who see it for a few seconds. It deploys a series of submunitions that create a 'flash-cloud' causing mass visual distortion.
REAR TURRET
A rear-facing rapid-fire projectile weapon capable of firing up to 1,000 rounds per minute. It has its own on-board tracking system and self-aim functionality.
RAIL GUN
A high-powered thermal blaster that causes terrific damage to all in its path. It takes a moment to charge up, generating a high frequency laser to superheat air and a xenon core into plasma for maximum devastation.
SHIELD BOOST
Increases shield strength by backing up the existing shield with a secondary layer in the 40-megawatt range. This is an aggressive gravity pulse generator working in tandem with the shield generators.
AMMO BANK
Increases ammunition storage capacity by providing extra storage space for onboard ammunition. It uses a dual feed system to maintain balance as both drums empty.
SHIELD SCOOP
An improved shield recovery system for a greater repair rate when in the pit lane. This remote energy-gathering device works with a shield energy transmitter in the pits to recharge the shield cell.
WEAPON SCOOP
An improved ammo collection system for faster ammunition acquisition at power-up points. This device draws in energy to recharge weapons on the bike, similar to the Shield Scoop.
Tips & Maps
Options
Customize the game settings to suit your needs.
Controller Set-ups
Set the rumble setting for each of the controllers, and redefine the buttons.
Audio Options
Adjust the volume levels of the music and sound effects, and choose between Dolby® Surround and stereo sound.
Credits
See a list of the fine people who made this game possible.
Using the turbo
Using the turbo is a great way to catch up to the players ahead, but keep an eye on your shield energy so you don't become vulnerable to attack.
Feathering the turbo
Try feathering the turbo so that it maintains a higher speed while draining less energy.
Energy recharge lanes
Make good use of the energy recharge lanes - green for shields, purple for ammunition.
Revs at the start of the race
Experiment with the revs at the start of the race - it may help get you moving.
Left analog stick for bike grip
Use the left analog stick to push the bike forward downhill, or pull backwards uphill to increase your rear wheel grip.
