Nintendo cool." Cheesy, but likeable and even catchy music plays in the background. The bar itself is filled with patrons, a host of different alien scum, all in awe of the pilot. A crazy old man approaches and then begs and pleads that Falcon race for

No matter how much is going on at any given time, the frame rate is a rock solid 60, and for a game as fast as this that's a godsend.

Game Revolution
Truly knuckles-scraping-against-asphalt hard, but not impossible. It’s completely rewarding when you finally overcome the odds. Yet at the same time, it’s a daunting game and is best to take on gradually in small doses.

Gaming Target
Despite having only three entries into the series in 12 years, the F-Zero franchise seems to be one of the biggest cult hits out of Nintendo. The sense of speed, track designs, and unrelenting challenge of the series has led to this, and with the current

Incredibly fast, outstandingly brilliant, and wonderfully rewarding to play. The intense difficulty curve only adds to the gameplay experience. Each race that is won feels even more impressive because it had to be earned.

There really isn’t a racing game quite like F-Zero GX, on any system. Sure, many games tout their speedy gameplay and awesome gameplay, but none of them hold a candle to GX’s blistering pace. Each grand prix race pits you against 29 other F-Zero

What is the essence of every racing game? Speed. A racing game cannot exist alone on speed, but without it, what would a racing game be? A snail simulator. A sleep-inducer. A total waste of money.

In short – it will kick your ass. However, each time that you lose, you know that you could have done better. You don’t lose because the AI cheats. Oh no. You lose because you simply weren’t good enough.

When F-Zero was first released on the Super Nintendo, its slick, futuristic styling made it an instant hit, not only that, but it ushered in a new generation of racers. Of course, it spawned a few sequels, one appearing on the GBA and one appearing on

Have you ever dreamed of racing at over 2000 km/h? Well, probably not, but you can at least wonder what it would feel like. At that speed, one small error could mean your death, and I don't think many people would be willing to risk their lives just to

In 1991, Nintendo more or less invented the futuristic racing genre with the release of F-Zero, a launch game designed in part by Shigeru Miyamoto (of Mario and Link fame) to exhibit the Super Nintendo's technological capabilities. Despite only four

In F-Zero’s almost 14 year old existance, hardly anything has changed to the concept; You race on a track in futuristic cars at incredible high speed, while trying to evade mud

Unfortunately, this has left some fans worried that these third-party games won't have the same gameplay quality that only Nintendo games seem to contain. Well, we're pleased to say that this certainly isn't the case with F-Zero GX. Sega's Amusement

Nintendo's F-Zero series was responsible for the birth of the futuristic racing genre. During the 32bit era of PlayStations and Sega Saturns, the Wipeout franchise may have reigned supreme, but Nintendo devotees were always keen to point out that it all

F-Zero GX delivers a bounty of play options, but none are as instantly gratifying and continually appealing as its time-tested and gamer-approved grand prix mode. Like previous games in the series, the grand prix mode consists of different cups that

That is what you'll hear when you play F-Zero GX, the fastest and most furious racer of its kind. Sure, there are no weapons to use to attack your enemies, but you can ram them, cut them off, even use a cool special attack move where you spin around and

When Nintendo originally released F-Zero for the Super NES, they had inexpicably—or perhaps, fully intentionally—pioneered an entirely new genre in futuristic racing. While the original title pales in comparison to today’s newer adrenaline rides,

There’s a real rush that comes from rocketing down a straightaway at 1235 mph., just edging out the competition by activating your boost thruster and hitting the white tape mere hundredths of a second before your nearest rival. There’s also a feeling

Filled with some of the most fluid graphics I have ever seen, tons of hidden items, easy to get into controls and a lot of just plain FUN, F-Zero’s only real fault lies in its difficulty.

This F-Zero leads the rest of the F-Zero franchise in terms of Graphics, Gameplay, Options, and Lastability, just that alone makes it at the very least a very worthy rental, even if you aren't into racers.

May well be the perfect GameCube title. With its amazingly complex racing model even experienced gamers are in for a substantial learning curve and newcomers to the series will be in for quite a shock. Visually stunning and a total blast to play.

Of course, the thing that is usually brought up most often about this title is the difficulty, so I suppose I should chime in with my thoughts on this. While it definitely could be too overwhelming for the weekend warrior types, the veteran gamer will

You've never played a game like F-Zero GX before. Sure, there have been other futuristic racers before this one and yeah, a lot of them looked good and ran fast. But F-Zero GX is on a brand new level all its own. When you get to Master difficulty in this

Few games leave my hands sweaty and clenched around the controller like F-Zero GX does. The difficulty level may scare away some new players (and maybe even some old ones), but it's a fun ride even when you’re not winning.

A fantastic racing game, and easily the very best racer for GameCube. The only thing keeping this game from a higher score is the extremely steep learning curve.

It's deep, it's visually stunning in the fact that it has a background to judge the incredible speeds, and what is more, it controls so bloody intuitively that Amusement Vision was able to create some truly mindbending tracks with which to torture you.

The first thing that hits you from the game is just how much is going on, and that's not just when actually racing. The menus are very busy with a wealth of options. You can race your mates, play in the Grand Prix or Story Mode, race against the clock

I waffled back and forth about rewriting this review because I felt it was too short. And then I realized that the review being short wasn't a problem. In fact, there's no problem at all; one of the triumphs of "F-Zero GX" is that, good or bad,
