2Xtreme Cheat Codes for PlayStation (PSX)

Originally released as Street Games ’97 in Japan, the racing game 2Xtreme was released for the original PlayStation in 1996 as a sequel to ESPN Extreme Games. A lot of gamers forget that because unlike the original, this game does not share the ESPN licensing. Fans and critics praised the game for all of its enhancements to the mechanics of the original. The AI, controls, and graphics were all better. However, there were a few critics who believed the graphics didn’t change enough and held that against the title.

2Xtreme Premise

This retro racing title allows players to compete on 1 of 12 courses with different vehicles. You can accrue points by performing certain tricks and toppling opponents. While racing, players have to watch their health as it decides how hard it is for you to be knocked over, either by a player or a miscellaneous obstacle. This title is one of the harder games of the genre, but that adds to its appeal. Many gamers in the late 1990s settled beefs on games as competitive as this.
