PS2 freezes during Extreme G3
« on: September 29, 2001, 08:58:07 PM »
This has only happened to me a few times, but that\'s still more times than it has happened to me with any other game on the system (read: none of my other games). I have had my game of Extreme G3 freeze up on a few occasions.

I can only think of two reasons for this happening:

  • Ridiculously high speeds from the use of cheat codes.
  • It\'s coming from Acclaim.


I\'m guessing it\'s reason #1. Considering how you\'re traveling at incredibly high speeds, I guess it makes sense that any system would freeze under those circumstances--it\'s still a little.. eh, pissoffing, though. It\'s only happened when I\'m goofing around with infinite boosts and trying to travel as quickly as possible while using a rear cannon thing.

Hey now, if Acclaim didn\'t intend for people to travel that fast in the game, why were the cheats included to begin with? :P

I don\'t know.  But I haven\'t got the chance to play this one yet.  Is it fun?

Awesome game. Fastest I\'ve ever played (even when I\'m not going fast enough to the point at which the game freezes up on me :p). Only real downside is that it is kind of challenging, and there\'s only some 9 tracks in it..

But the tracks are all beautifully designed, the motorcycles are all very cool looking, with the colored jet flame thingos behind them and stuff.

True.

They absolutely butchered the Dreamcast version of Dave Mirra\'s BMX (graphically). I swear, they barely upgraded it from the PSX version.

It\'s great. Think it\'s laughable that anyone would buy it?

Well, if I thought it was laughable I would have put a ":laughing:"... Must have forgot. So here it is.
