"F-zero rocks"

This is such an immense improvement at least graphically over the last one. Ive not played it too much, but i did start the story mode yesterday which i have to say is really good. The cut scenes are top notch.

Ive bought some parts and stuff from the shop, but havent put them to any real use yet.

Do you have to complete the grand prix cups on expert to unlock master mode for them?

yes

No. His car is more suited to boosting than yours, therefore he uses up his boosts right at the beginning on the opening straight. You'll find that if you boost at the start you'll keep up with him, but it's best not to.

As I stated below, save your boosts, as the lead he has built up for himself is dramatically reduced when he decides to swerve all over the place. Then at the end, he can't boost as he's out of them, and you can just fly past him. Don't try killing though; too risky.

It's not cheating - just strange tactics for the computer.

I don't boost right away because I am only at 400KM per hour when the maximum without boosting on Falcons car is about 1020KPH, so i usually boost as soon as it is at maximum efficiency and that it is at least a clear and easily avoid track of falling boulders while I have the speed boost.

Thankfully ive managed to do escape from the power plant on very hard, after flying into the closing gate 3 times. I also done the grand prix one on easy. That one where you race the underworld chapion is quite hard.

I'll get round to playing it soon.

Must do Viewtiful!

I'll get this tomorrow but I won't be able to play it because I'll be cooking the whole evening.
RAaaaaar.

Steak n chips? yum.

I've finally been able to build a pretty decent ship out of parts I bought, and coloured and stuck emblems on it, it looks quite cool to me.
It's stats are C Body, B Boost, B Grip. Not bad, but i had a body that was an A but it was too heavy and made my craft unsuitable for the Sapphire cup.

For Body a C stat is OK, I always go for C-B-B or C-A-A stats
