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!

F-Zero GX, out of all the racing games I've played, is quite easily the best. As for the greatest RPG, that would go to Morrowind or Final Fantasy 7. Knights of the Old Republic might be a contestor, but no other Xbox exclusives stand a chance.

F-zero multiplayer only just matched MK:DD

Which means it is awesome

Serious racers suck. Odd racers (F-Zero GX + Rush 2049) are some of the best games I've ever played.

I've played F-zero GX in Gamestation, and it is pure genius.

This game is so NOT a let down.

However as it is the Nintendo forum I will let AJs comments about F Zero GX being the best racing game ever and Skies of Arcadia being the best RPG ever go. But I will leave a big hint. Xbox exclusives.

it's probably because it would cause slow-down but dont take my word for it. There probably isn't a way to turn it off for that reason.

Does anyone know why the background scenery isn't in multiplayer with three or more people? And is there a way to turn this off?
