"The BEST futuristic racer, period."

This game is definetly the 'coolest' game to hit the console thus far. If you dug the idea of Jet MOTO back when you got your playstation, you will simply eat this up. It is so great. What I particularly like is the incredible character design and track design. The Designers for this game did such a bang up job. That is one of the most important aspects in a racing game, and it shines wonderfully here. This is reccomended to anyone who digs futuristic racers, and if you dont... try it anyways! You will probably fall in love. It combines wonderfully animated tricks, intense action, and sweet graphics + tunes.
As long as you ignore the review before this (the 5) you dont have any reason to be discouraged to get this game. Especially if you like XG you will love this game! It is sooo much better, way more varied gameplay, stunts this time, 100% more fun. The only 1 thing that XGIII had over this was speed, and who needs as much speed as that? Its a great game! You must get it. Now for the breakdown of the game (the part most of you will only read).

GRAPHICS: 9/10
Nothing phenomenal, but definetly pretty!

SOUND: 9/10
Again not the strongest point of this game, but
definetly really cool techno sounds.

GAMEPLAY: 10/10
Flawless, perfect stunt performing and intense racing!

CREATIVITY: 12/10
Play the game and you will see why this rocks so much

BOOTY: 9.5/10
Definetly some nice nice booty in this game. (especially xia and ava). The only thing that keeps it from being a 10 is you have to suffer with the guys backsides as well =(.

OTHER STUFF: 9/10
Well the other stuff is really cool (i.e. manual, presentation, packaging, etc.). The manual is especially cool because it also comes with an ART book of the characters and their designs. I really dug this because I think the design of the characters is so great.

OVERALL: 9.4/10
EXCELLENT GAME!!! Read my final comments:

Replay is fantastic with 2-player and single player is even quite fun and competitive. The only minor gripe I have here is the sometimes not-so-stable framerate, but why would I give it a 9/10 if that didnt hinder the gameplay much? It doesn't! So go play this game right now! Or else...
