Many a times, we come across some reviews on SRDN that are a lame GAD attempt. I start to laugh my hea on it, and want to share my comments with others. So, I have started this thread. Anyone will post a review from ukreviews.com (I hope that does not infringe copyrights), and the others will post their comments on it, as to where it gets boring, and where does it seem that they are mere GAD attempts & not good reviews.

The following review is my own about F-Zero. I din't review it actually, I just copied, pasted & mixed three winning reviews of the game.

Back in the platform era, on every generation of home consoles - Sega witnessed defeat at the hands of Nintendo, and their battles remind you of the epic struggles between EA's Fifa & Konami's PES to get the hold of the best football sim title. But now that Sega has completely bailed itself from the hardware market, Nintendo's once sworn nemesis have developed an update of one of Nintendo's key franchises: F-Zero.
Nintendo Fans know and love F-Zero since its very inception. Every element that has given the F-Zero a vast fan-circle has been included, rather improved, in this latest offering of the series. There are those fantastically well designed twisting and turning tracks, hypersonic speeds, great music and the correct level of difficulty. What else do gamers want in a racing simulation?
F-Zero GX, the follow up to F-Zero X on N64 and F-Zero Maximum Velocity on the GBA, is an immensely fast hovercraft racer. Round precariously thin, long, bumpy, mine-filled tracks you will wind as 3 laps of carnage see many fall into the great abyss below the surface you race on. Race through cups, aiming for first place in the grand prix after 5 races on 6 mile courses. The game has 5 cups , 2 of which are unlockables. A story mode has also been included, in which the game presents you as Captain Falcon who has to accomplish various tasks. The races are held between FMV Cut-scenes, so the game seems more like a story than just a linear bunch of missions. And not to forget the intense and hard-to-beat Time Attack mode.
The gameplay is superb. Every single move you make in the race decides your final position. In the blink of an eye, you fall from grace from 1st on the Cylinder Knot to 27th. And as your rival passes, boosted by a Dash Plate, you once again begin the stumbling climb to the front of the pack. No matter how many laps you are first for, one small mistake, one point where your speed drops, and 29 eager pilots will speedily overtake you and leave you to eat track.
Every course and arena, from the splendor and glitz of the Casino tracks to the modern sky of Aeropolis, has a fast yet appropriate and unobtrusive song to go with it, so your ears are safe whilst playing. Along with area-specific songs, every character has a theme tune. You've got the brave Captain Falcon tune to the typically evil Pico tune - you'll be sure to find a tune you really do like somewhere in the game.
Each craft has ultra responsive handling, useful for navigating the speedy madness. Each of the different race worlds you end up in are visually stunning, with F-Zero faithful neon future cities, dusty desert planets, industrial landscapes and even a giant outer space casino world. This is where FZero shines.
All in all, saying that "this game is a must-have for gamecube owners" would be an understatement. F-Zero GX is a game which distinguishes the GC from the Xbox or PS2.
P.S. - Your eyeballs may require some heavy rest after playing this game!

If you come to a run of the mill house in Woking there will be knives on the wall. Please slit your wrists.

Er, You all missed the concept. The fun is right, but you need to criticize the review; even if it ddoesn't need it. Do it like that

Don't you remember that the battles between Sega & Nintendo were before in time than those between EA & Konami. So how is the former suppose to remind you of the latter?
