Description / Review
Originally released in a long box case labeled ESPN Extreme Games, 1xtreme is a racing title in which you must fend off skateboarders, street lugers, bicyclists, and in-line skaters with your fists and your speed. Here's the neat part; you're all going at it at once. Yup, you blow past that skater on your ten speed as you fly through the streets of San Francisco to the forests of South America.

A fun game, if not really just a poor man's Road Rash. Still one of the only sports games I actually played on a regular basis at the time of its original release. That and NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. The sequels dropped in quality with each release.

  • Trivia
  • This is simply ESPN Extreme Games under a new name.

  • Every reference to ESPN have been replaced or eliminated.

  • The ESRB rating was changed from 'Kids to Adult' to 'Everyone'

  • Most likely changed to 1xtreme after the ESPN license expired or to help it match up to the Greatest Hits release of 2xtreme.

Greatest Hits
This game technically only exists as a Greatest Hit, since it's non-GH version is ESPN Extreme Games. See Variations to your right. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Gee, this kind of made this section null and void, no? :)

 Variations / Misprints
Ah yes, the joys of licensing and marketing. For all you lucky collectors out there, here is one of the few, if not only PlayStation game to file under the witness protection program. Also the only time the Greatest Hit variant is a variant in and of itself!

                      

Personal Joke: You know why they're called '989 Studios'? It's because they can't bat 1,000 on a game release! Nyuk, nyuk...
