It the game depicts the sport of "Extreme-G" racing in the 23rd century. The player takes the role of one of the twelve riders competing in a championship, each representing one of the six teams of two. The game career mode starts in the slowest class, 250G, and as the player progresses through the career, they will eventually make it into the 1000G class, the fastest in the game.

The sound barrier conventions from Extreme-G 2 are transferred here.

10 tracks are included, with twists, drops, and sharp turns. Extreme-G 3 handles weaponry differently, resulting in a significant change in gameplay from the first and second games. While in the first and second games, the player could pick up weapons on the track, and firing these weapons would not consume their primary weapon bar, in the third game, the player purchases weapons with money won, and firing weapons consumes a small amount of the weapon bar for each shot. Compared to the previous games, Extreme-G 3 offers fewer weapons.

Reception

Extreme-G 3 received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Gary Whitta of NextGen called the PlayStation 2 version a solid title for fans of Wipeout-style racers.

Iron Monkey of GamePro said that the PlayStation 2 version "boasts sizzling speeds and enough thumb-crushing intensity to keep futuristic racing fans satiated until Wipeout Fusion arrives."Шаблон:Efn Star Dingo later called the GameCube version "a hyper-fun, super-polished, vertigo-inducing thrill ride that will rush plenty of adrenaline through your veins... for a while, anyway."Шаблон:Efn

The same PlayStation 2 version was nominated for the "Best Driving Game" award at GameSpotШаблон:'s Best and Worst of 2002 Awards, which went to Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. The game was also nominated at The Electric PlaygroundШаблон:'s 2001 Blister Awards for "Best Sound in a Console Game", "Best Console Driving Game", and "GameCube Game of the Year" (though not reviewed), but lost to Star Wars: Obi-Wan, Grand Theft Auto III, and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, respectively.
