The Nintendo 64 played host to quite a batch of good/great racing games. With titles like Diddy Kong Racing, Beetle Adventure Racing, Mario Kart 64, Vigilante 8 and Ridge Racer 64, they were diverse and fun at the same time. In 1997, Acclaim Entertainment introduced their own title into the racing genre: Extreme G. While it was reminiscent of the Playstation exclusive racing series (the Wipeout games), Extreme G holds its own and makes itself stand out as a game worth playing.
