Story

LEAGUES

Lithium League

•

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.

•

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.

•

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

•

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 amongst the clouds.

•

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.

•

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

•

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.

•

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.

•

Pasiphae 6: The number 6 dam on the river Pasiphae provides one of the most complex yet peaceful settings of XG racing. Running adjacent to the dam wall, the circuit plunges towards the river before sweeping through the trees of the nearby forest. Although the location is remote, the setting has proven popular with XG race fans through their regular attendance at the event.

Francium League

•

Pion 6: This desert circuit is reserved only for entrants into the faster speed classes. The Egyptian pyramids and desert temples play host to this, the only race of the Francium League. The challenge is intense with a double spiral bend and inter-twining track split across the sand dunes, starting from within the Pion temple.

MICRO MINES

Short-fuse proximity mines that detonate when hit by other bikes or after a limited time period, deploying from a hopper at the rear of the bike.

LEECH

An energy-draining homing missile that drains energy from enemy bikes to boost your own energy levels, initially designed as a remote refueling system.

DESTABILIZER

A deflection field generator that disables the handling systems of all enemy bikes within its field area by disrupting their gyrostabilizers.

Tips & Maps

Controller One Configuration

Set the vibration setting for controller 1, and redefine the buttons.

Controller Two Configuration

I'll leave you to guess...

Audio Options

Adjust the volume levels of the music and sound effects, and choose between Dolby® Surround and stereo sound.

Screen Adjust

Re-position the screen to suit your television.

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. 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

Use the left analog stick to push the bike forward downhill, or pull backwards uphill to increase your rear wheel grip.
