1Xtreme - Racing game with a difference

Car racing games are very dominant in the gaming world. 1Xtreme offers a pleasant contrast to the classic racing game, because it is about skateboarding, inline skaters and mountain bikes.
Don't let yourself be thrown down!
No, this game is really not classic. You are dealing with a racing game that is about making your opponent fall. At the beginning you choose what you want to start the race with. For example, after you've chosen your skateboard, your goal is definitely to reach the finish line.
Gates and obstacles
On the way you can pass through different colored gates that either fill your pockets with money, reward you with season points or take you to shortcuts. On roads and paths there are dangerous obstacles for you, such as chickens, rubble or cars. Various ramps provide the additional kick. The challenge is to react to the obstacles in good time. Because they literally appear out of nowhere.
Graphic
The graphics are not outstanding. The game often appears flaky, with missing textures. Trees are completely unaffected by nature and the wind and stand still or are more likely to be shown in 2D. Most of the time you don't pay attention to it, because the game has an extremely fast gameplay.
In the street
The choice of vehicles falls between skateboard, inline skates, mountain bikes and the possibility to go luge. Depending on your earnings at the end of a race, you can improve your vehicles. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. At the beginning I would do it without luge because it is more suitable for experienced players. As the speed increases, the agility becomes less, which creates problems when navigating tight gaps in sharp corners. This leads to falls more often. The mountain bike is more suitable for beginners. It is easy to handle and achieves a respectable speed.
Summary
1Xtreme is cool and a lot of fun. It's a game apart from the classic car racing games. The graphics are not great, but the gameplay is solid. At one point or another, a little more practice is beneficial. But once you've found your rhythm, it's pure enthusiasm.
