Sorry everyone, but I have already returned my copy of F-Zero to SR.
Bland tracks, bland music, bland vehicles, bland! bland! bland!

Dont get me wrong, I loved F-Zero on the N64 and was really looking forward to this Cube version but alas it is just not worth £34.99. I'll wait until its at a rock bottom price before I get it.

The hype leading up to it going on sale was exaggerated. Everyone said it was blisteringly fast - I said, "so is XG3", I was proved right. XG3 is even faster when you have the 1000cc bike and the tracks looked way better than F Zero. Sorry everyone, this Ninty baby is a let down!

Which SR did you return it to?

I picked up a copy of SCII for £20 from SR in egham, and if F-Zero is there too, I'll laugh heartily.

F-Zero X was bland, uninspiring level design and guff music. This however rocks my foking socks.

For you maybe, but it seems the general consensus is it's quite the opposite, and I have to agree, it fooking rocks. Never played any of the previous games but this one really does shine through.

It is a very fast game, and thanks to some excellent tracks, a very challenging one. And with so much to unlock it's going to last me weeks. Another must have for the Cube I say, I would have gladly paid full price for it if I hadn't have won it.

I don't really like it either...

I mean it's fun but I play it for a bit and then stop.

In fact I've given it two plays and I doubt it'll get another.

Worms and Simpsons have taken my gaming hours away.

A let down? No. I've never really enjoyed the F Zero series. Which begs the question.

Why did I get it?

I think the reason why Im not playing it as much as I did in the first week I got it is because of the difficulty level. Its a very big challenge and im certain that I will never complete it. But it's a fine game with great qualities and im glad I got it.

Well I just had to get it....

It was like should I get Worms? Should I get SSX3? Should I get Hit and Run? Should I get Billy Hatcher?

There was no should I get F Zero... that was already settled there was no question.

For those that don't know I chose Worms and Hit and Run and are both far superior to F Zero.

Although.... I hope to get Billy Hatcher somehow.

I'll wait for 1080 rather than get SSX3.
