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.

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....read the complete F-Zero GX review at Nintendojo

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....read the complete F-Zero GX review at GameZone
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.

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...read the complete F-Zero GX review at Worth Playing
