2 Xtreme (PS1)

This video was captured using the actual game on an actual Playstation 2. Loading times have been removed for your consideration and any possible enjoyment.
2 Xtreme! The sequel to the legendary ESPN Extreme Games also known as 1 Xtreme! 2 is greater than 1 right? The first game was just extreme, this one should be twice as extreme! Yeah....no. Not even close. As where the first game was an absolute stroke of genius, 2 Xtreme is more like the genius had a stroke before making this game. It's not the worst game I now own, but......well.....yes it is. It is the worst game I own, but that doesn't mean that it's all bad. You see I tend to buy games that I generally like. I don't collect games just for the sake of collecting them. In this case however I saw it on the shelf and it was only a buck. I thought that maybe I should just buy it and give it a chance for that little so I did so. Here are my thoughts.
The graphics even without comparing them to the first game still are not good. They are colorless, flat, and very boring to look at. The track designs and obstacle placements are equal to that of an amateur ROM hack. Obstacles and scenery have seemingly just been dropped on the extremely wide and boring looking tracks at random. Because of their thrown together design they are also overly difficult again much like an amateur ROM hack. Also adding to the difficulty is the games highly unrealistic speed. I have racing games that use cars and motorcycles that don't run as fast as this game. Unfortunately this installment doesn't offer enough of anything else to charm you with to make you want to keep playing it despite it's difficulty.
The game play is just plain sloppy. The controls aren't nearly as tight as the first installment. On top of that there are no physics whatsoever. Coming off a slight incline into a small slope can send you flying out of control. Collision detection is 50\50. Sometimes you can go right through an obstacle and then other times you don't even know what you hit.
The sound is definitely one of the better parts of the game. When I say sound I mean the music. Obviously the same team of musicians that did the first game came back to lay down more good music. Still not as memorable as the first game, but good nonetheless. The sounds are not bad, just not as good as the first game of course.
Lastly there are the fundamentals that were changed from the first title. Everything is now for points. Points? Seriously? Yes. As where the gates in the first game were for collecting money and getting to ride through the cash course by passing through all of them to buy faster rides, the different color gates are different point values. Yippy. Some gates give you power ups that for the most part do nothing but assist you getting killed. Also they added tricks that you can do, but since the game is too damn fast, you really don't wanna divert your attention from what's coming to do a useless trick for points which could cause you to wipe out after you land. No longer are vehicles mixed and matched. You race bikes with bikes and so on. They removed the street luge and put the snowboard in it's place. The snowboarding just straight up sucks. This game also features night races which would have been sort of cool if they hadn't just darkened the entire color pallet. Instead of looking like you're racing at night, it looks more like your TV has a brightness problem.
Overall this game is not recommended. It's not unplayable, but there are much better games you can play with your time like the FIRST game! I chose to keep it in my collection because it is still playable and it was only a buck. I may never touch it again after this recording.

[@ConnerNeal]

The memories I have of this game are much cooler than this game haha

[@yogidrummer333]

+Conner Neal They always are... I have the same feelings about this game as I do for Jet Moto 2. Wonderful times.

[@TigerDriver91]

jet motos still kinda rad tho

I'll yell "500!" whenever something cool happens in my life and no one understands.

english is not my mother tongue and I played this game as a kid ... 20 years later I realize they were saying "500" the whole time thanks to you x'D

[@BloodyBrawler92]

The memories I have of this game are nostalgia at its finest. I remember playing this back in the 90's and having hours of fun and harmless competitive times on it with friends and family. One past time in particular that stands out from the rest, was going over to my cousins for sleepovers and we would wake up early hours of the morning, sneak downstairs and switch on the Ps1, and play this until my mother would come down and yell at us and send us back to bed, sometimes hiding behind the sofa's which proved pointless everytime. Evidently this game doesn't appeal to a fair share of people which they're perfectly entitled to, but I found this game endlessly entertaining and I can reminisce so much about it. Thank you for uploading this mate. I know you personally didn't like or enjoy it in any way shape or form, but I enjoyed watching this nonetheless.

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

I remember when I couldn't wait to get home from school to play this everyday for hours on end!!

[@kirkhugginsjr689]

[@marqueantonius1830]

I took these days for granted as a kid smh

[@butte6583]

you didn't really take them for granted, you just lived in the moment and enjoyed it.

[@christianwellness4363]

Marque Antonius same here ,lol

[@brainshowers3925]

Christian Valverde ruined the moment

[@gjtrue]

Don't feel bad. Many of us are just as guilty!

[@miaouew]

You just didn't know how bad life got back then bro. None of us did. It was a simpler time.

[@taylorbradford7853]

Haven't played this in probably 12 years and still remember everything. The soundtrack was killer as well as the punching which was the best part for me. Good times and childhood

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

💯

[@hashytaka]

"SEE YAAaaa" I used to love hearing that as a child lol

[@maldub88]

I know your comment is 3 years old but that's what I remember most from this game. And when you'd go under 2 of those "level-up" things, It's go "SEEE YAAA SEEE YAAA" real fast back to back. lol

[@gjtrue]

*FIVE HUNDRED!!!!!!* 🤣

[@MsInteresting]

I use to enjoy activating it more lol.

[@MsInteresting]

"150!" "250!" "500!!" These literally got stuck in my head whenever I played this game. Classic~

[@mistervanwyk7405]

See ya !!!

[@monauraldaredevil]

*Runs into an obstacle* "PWWWGHH!!"

[@Omahamaho]

even my dad would walk by me when I was playing this as a kid and say "GET SOME AIR" and he never even played it

[@MalikMahdi23]

This game is dope. I’m glad I still have it in my collection 🏄🏾‍♂️🚵🏾‍♂️🛹

[@Tonys_Gabagool]

"GIT SUM AIRRR!!"

[@oh_heeeyyy]

This game taught me how to curse when I was a little innocent child.

[@kirkhugginsjr689]

this game was so addictive and hilarious when punching ppl off their skates lol

[@--ilse--]

Loved it, so cool to watch this again! Always played it with a friend in 2 player mode and we always tried to be 1st and 2nd place. I remember in some levels there was a hidden route that you could also take. I wanna play this again!!

[@addisonflux]

Watched a bunch of videos of all of my favorite PS1 games I played as a kid, including this one. Now I'm gonna keep up the momentum and watch Brink! and Johnny Tsunami on Disney+

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

Brink Definitely an all time fave! 😎

[@scott3763]

I remember having my mom rent this game from blockbuster for me when I was a kid. Needless to say I faked sick the day after to play it all day ✊

[@B3owulf]

oh good old memories....the demo of this game came with my ps1. ending up buying it.

[@Babbitxp]

Man the hours I would spend on this game is crazy.. Bout to order this now

[@shaquantucker7463]

"Get some air." "See ya." "Set go!" "Let's rumble."

[@johnfoltz8183]

Set go!

[@adampaul6974]

I have been trying to remember the name of this game for five years! Thought I would never find it.. Thanks a lot!

[@louie9373]

I searched "ps1 game where you race skateboard or skates" and it immediately showed the cover art.

[@AlexPlaysGaming]

Omg this game is childhood. I used to play this all the time

[@pcskillz42]

Lance was my favorite character and teddy, I haven't played this game since the 90s

[@mrturismo]

80% the time i was playing, i was laughing about my friends getting punched or hitting poles and old ladies crossing the street. FUN

[@YoSaffBridge93]

I remember vividly this game having a significant role in my saying "Fuck" for the first time to my brother.

[@rockabillybumbum]

Man this was such a cool game, an AWESOME soundtrack as well. I used to run some og these tracks without falling down once :) A very very very cool game

[@JackDaScarecrow]

I think what makes 3xtreme my favorite is the music when it all comes down to it; the menu music especially.

[@LinkLoverSeese]

Oh my, the nostalgia, lol. One of my old favs

[@OtherworldJudge89]

This game is so NINTIES. Love it.

[@mercedezlowery6962]

God I was addicted to this game growing up. I felt like a badass when I'd beat my friends at it haha.

[@drapermike]

Foreal I would play this game for hours everyday it never got old to me

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

@@drapermike Exactly!

[@stuka1466]

Here I am in my 30s and still say "Get some air" the same way the game does. 🤣🤣

[@thepantherchannel2988]

2:24 dude straight up landed like nemesis in RE3 and started beating your ass.

[@patrickloughboro7089]

This game was fucking badass! I used to play this all the time. They need to make it on Playstation 4

[@allenlegacy242]

I remember going full speed and out of nowhere getting hit haha. Like, DAMMIT!

[@allenlegacy242]

Will be getting it lol, this game was my jam yo

[@DamarFadlan25]

"SET GO" chant still got me a lot in 2XTREME PS1.😂

[@gjtrue]

Loved this game as a kid. Still do! 😎

[@casedistorted]

I only enjoyed this game when I realized that putting it on the hardest difficulty created pedestrians you can run over like rabbits in the first game. I didn't know this for a long long time when I owned this game as a kid though and I hated this game forever because of it. Once I played it on the hardest difficulty it got better but the first game was one of my favorites of all time, and I still own the original game in its original large PSX jewel case. One of the only games I still have in it's box somehow with my original playstation.

[@etspawn12]

Wow how far games have gone! Those are some classic graphics lol

[@rud5101]

This game feels like something you'd see someone playing in a movie.

[@Jacob-Pogicat]

This was my dad's and I GOTY every year when I was a kid. Good memories. So much fun.

[@StevenSmethurst]

i used to have this game as a kid and despite every one sayin it was awful, i thought it was pretty awesome and just watchin ya vids makes me wanna have a play on it again :)

[@JackDaScarecrow]

I agree though 1xtreme/Espn Xtreme Games was by far the smoothest of the 3.....

[@treflippa2]

Wow. I used to play the shit out of this game when I had my ps1...sigh memories.

[@Japester702]

Flapping your arms in the air during the roller blading races LOL

[@jessycruz2465]

If my memory serves me right 2xtreme was the very first game I've ever played on a ps1.

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

I miss this game sooooooooo much! Wish I could just rewind back into time!

[@DSMTheEditor]

"EHH!" "EHH!" "AUGH!" "EHH!"

[@nikcasi5472]

I like how this guy strait up roasts this game in the description. I was very young when I played this game; probably around five, and I hadn't played the first game. At first glance, I thought it was the best dam game, biking in Nigeria and what not. But, I guess when your a kid, your first couple of games are gonna seem like the best things ever. I just remember playing this with my older brother on this game through the various maps, and hearing that awesome music in the background. The point shout outs were the best, as well as "SEE YA!". I miss this game just by thinking of it.

[@bigvegas0549]

I’m going to get a PlayStation 1 just to buy this game!! Loved it growing up

[@kencook662]

The game title speaks for itself, I came in 1st once, n that was on snowboarding, but ion no how to do tricks or nothin, 2xtreme for me LMFAO

[@sontelena8818]

How about them button combos for the tricks.

[@jrbristain7926]

~ i really enjoyed this game when i was a kid. The key to winning on most of the tracks is jumping over obstacles.

[@flfreaks3745]

I remember playing this game for a long time.. until Cool Boarders 3 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater came along and made this type of gameplay so redundant, but good times playing this with my siblings!

[@superreverbfreak]

I used to love playin this...I remember a freind of mine had a ps1 and we would play this all the time...I thought it was so cool that you could take out the game and play a cd....I really wish you could do that with a ps3 or rather be able I play mp3s while playing a game...

[@FenderAddict93]

This game might be the hardest game in the history of mankind! It's soooo hard to win the top 3 in every race! Once you banged into an obstacle, you're screwed. Players who played this game know what i'm talking about. x)

[@drapermike]

This is the demo disc version I remember playing this then getting the actual game and seeing that the actual game was way better this had some glitches in it

[@monauraldaredevil]

*Runs into an obstacle* "PWWWGHH!!"

this was my fav game omg they should remakethis for xbox

One of my first two games (the second one was MK Trilogy) that I've played on PS1 in 1997

That's because this game sucks.

[@eyefromdasky3269]

me and my bro would play this and listen to notorious big on blast

[@kyloten-raikerz6638]

So much nostalgia

[@solodepressomorto]

I never knew you could do tricks. I thought it was just 3xtreme.

[@drapermike]

Yeah I think u had to press buttons right when u hit the ramp in order to do a trick

[@Kastigatr]

this was one of the first playstation games I ever played

[@nonquintessentialone]

FUCK YA. Part of my childhood right here. I never downhill longboard raced when I was young, and since learning 2 years ago, looking back on this game is downright hilarious. The current land speed record on longboard is 89MPH!!! If you punched someone off their longboard at speeds of 60 and 70, that's murder brah. I was soo good. This is hard to watch.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

MRGH GROAN UGH UGH AH AH UGH GROAN This game's soundtrack

[@roundtrip385]

I loved this shit haha. Favorite game as a kid

[@vagner_tenzen]

Crl eu joguei mto esse jogo, cascaria, e o cd tocava trilha sonora se colocasse em aparelho de som.

[@texisthereason]

Tony hawk doing a 360 varial 540 in the intro😂😂😂😂 the irony of that trick is he lost the world championship that year to tas Pappas who did the trick in his run.

[@zdaleeuwarden]

Why dont you do any tricks and play this game on the most extreme difficulty?

[@OldsXCool]

+Freerk Bethlehem Because this game is terrible and I didn't enjoy playing it at all.

[@zoommair]

Mmmmm... the game that got me into snowboarding.

[@komodo117]

2 player races in this game almost always ended in domestic violence.

[@JackDaScarecrow]

I wasn't being sarcastic I love when people put time into writing a well thought out response. I see alot of idiotic comments on youtube.....

[@SchwartzLouis]

lmfao "setGO!" the fucking narrator is hilarious, it's like he's literally above you following you, when you go into a tunnel he's got some echo haha...*4 button combo trick* *applause* *narrator goes "AHWh"* then you fail "OOOOOooooo" or your guy doesn't respond quick enough and he lands THEN does the trick just to have his rollerblades fly out from under him "OOOOOOOOOoooo" Real talk you don't how badly I wanted to shout out "GET SOME AIR!" on the my flight's takeoff to GA about 2 months ago. "FFFFFIhundRED" lmao my cousin and I went to a skatepark years ago, and the more veteran skateboarders were on this giant half pipe and him and I just kept saying "GET SOME AIR", you literally could do that anywhere, like in a public bathroom, guy in a stall next you.."GET SOME AIR!" as youre walking out "SEEEYA" hhahaha

[@gabbysambienceofrivers4813]

Ikr, I miss this game like craaazzzyyy!

[@CertifiedMVP]

I wanna play this game now :((

[@donnyyasu2764]

There was something so satisfying about punching people over in this game as a kid.

[@Beau85]

See ya! Man where did time go?

[@OldsXCool]

@MrScorpion360x I share all those thoughts in the description.

[@eloyreveronrizzo4800]

Man, this one looks harder than 3Xtreme , I wish I had played this with my cousins...
