A prototype of XGRA: Extreme G Racing Association for the PlayStation 2.

Notes

  • An NTSC build dated over 3 months before the final game. The build is an E3 demo, and as such, it's quite limited in its scope, seemingly featuring only one track.
  • The game boots into an intro image before loading straight into one of the Ocean tracks.
  • There's a demo timeout - the game will quit if left for too long.
  • The "mines" weapon is not present; instead, the fourth powerup is invincibility.
  • The countdown at the beginning of the race sounds different.
    • Additionally, there's no sign showing this countdown.
  • The race ends with the words "GAME OVER" laid over the screen.
  • Miscellaneous Notes:
    • Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
    • Game contains dongle protection: No.
