XGRA is considerably worse than XG-3 and arguably the worst in the series.

Gone are 3's buyable upgrades, moving you straight into a class system much akin to Wipeout's. (Class up just means automatic stats up). While not horrible, part of the fun and sense of progression of 3 was this customization aspect.

Track design is worse. By the time you get going to the ballin' ass speeds you were talking about above, with the blur effect and the HOLY DOG SHIT LOOK AT THIS (which is admittedly awesome), you're going to end up in a wall. It's actually more distracting than cool in this iteration.

There's also a new weapon that's this ion cannon deal which is entirely fucking gamebreaking. It's so much more powerful than anything else in the game, and it's actually pretty common. Imagine if you could get blue shells at any position in Mario Kart, and you were able to pick a target? Yeah.

Also motherfucker's got framerate issues.

It is, in all ways, worse than 3. Stick with that one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Get fucked.

NOW we're doing it right.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
