XG3 is a fast-paced futuristic/extreme racing game. Players start at the lowest and slowest classes at first, and use skilled racing and a wide variety of weapons and defensive items to climb up to higher classes. Unlike other games of its type, some simulator aspects are present in the game, like the presence of the sound barrier.

3.0 | openSUSE 12.1 | AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 3.2 GHz | AMD Radeon HD 5850 | Perfect in game | Delayline |

4.0-5003 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-920 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 | Perfect, even with Frame Skipping on. Full speed on single player and 2 player split screen. | |
4.0-5287 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-4770K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti | Perfect, except Fast Depth Calculation needs to be off or the shield/ammo pickups and other decals such as the windows on buildings will exhibit z-fighting. | |
4.0-9061 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5-6600K @ 4.6 GHz | AMD Radeon R9 380 @ 1.01 GHz | Fast depth can no longer be disabled so the Z-Fighting issue can not be resolved. Otherwise the game runs perfectly. | cammelspit |
