Wasn't a great fan of this game at first, it seemed too boring as it was too fast.

Recently I played it again, it's great now!

I've mastered the method of ramming people and all the fun has returned to the game, I love it!

Instead of racing I try and take as many people out for the first 2 laps then just burn it round the third, plus on the later levels I just concentrate on taking out my rivals so that I get a bigger lead!

I got 16 people out of a race the other day on normal difficulty, I'm all impressed with myself. The game would be so boring if you couldn't kill people.

Story mode is hard and I'm about to do the last GP on normal mode, woooooooo!

I sold it about a month after winning it.

Might buy again when I have silly amounts of money.

Nah.

I thought GX was quite poor actually. Was really interested in it until I played it and then I just lost all interest. Not enough track variation as due to the speed you appeared to be heading in the same direction until you hit a right angled turn where everything came to a halt for a few seconds. Don't think I will even bother on the extremely cheap, a rental was tedious enough.

Exactly the same as me, but I just like it because I've mastered the technique of killing people. I like the mixture of killing and racing at the same time.

GX single player is brilliant shame about the Multiplayer though but we have Mario Kart for that..

Mario Kart is pretty rubbish.

I don't mind the two per kart, but most of them look rubbish, I want proper karts back. It's also too slow and easy.

Oh, is there a random track generator on F-Zero GX?

That was a great addition to the last one, apart from the fact you couldn't replay levels on multiplayer...

Oh Big Hand, what a level. I remember the frantic dashes around the circuit, that always involved the snail winning.

Sheer brilliance.

Don't think so. That's one of the reasons I got the cube version, in the hope it'd have something decent like that. Played it once then shifted it with all my other cube stuff, all the re-approaches to N64 titles that are too similar to the originals (which I still own) are getting very tiresome.

Played Mario Golf a few days back, it's good but I wouldn't buy it myself as it's mechanics and control are all but identical to the N64 one.

I've moved on.
