I got F-zero a few hours ago, and it rocks!

Yes it is hard, but it rules so much.

So far I have: won a grand prix championship, knocking my rival off the tracks several times, so that outta show him.
Played a level on story mode.
Watched some cool FMVs.
Designed my own ship, which is orange and blue and I put some wicked logos on it. It slow and weak, but I'll improve it. :-)

The game is starting to get hard now, but its so good, and I am always willing to go back for a challenge.

The graphics are awesome, and the backgrounds are so detailed. Yes it is as fast as you think itll be and the twisty tracks are so cool. The multiplayer is rockin too!

Seriously, you have to get this, but you already knew that. And the USA version does work on freeloader, and the action replay version of freeloader, I tried it on both, for all you importers out there (josh).

Ok, I'm off to whoop Captain Falcons butt in the grand prix again.

Ciao

Mighty Gazelle, The Skull, Captain Falcon and Octoman are the best.

It's very difficult.

Prepare for loads of frustration early on.

Whoo! Been playing GX all week, which explains why I haven't been on here as much.

Top, top, top game.

I went back to F-Zero X to just to check how much faster this actually was, and well, let's just say it's a lot faster. I've reached speeds of 2300km/h on one of the courses.

Completed the three main cups on Novice and Standard and the Ruby Cup on Expert, unlocked most of the cars, got to Chapter 6 in story mode (haven't really done much here), and had a whole lot of fun in multiplayer.

There's a couple of problems though. One being that if you hit off a wall, you don't scrape along it, like before, but instead bounce off into another wall, continuing this process for quite some time until you regain control which is rather difficult. It doesn't happen as much now as I've worked out the best cars to go, but it can be annoying at times. Also, some cars swerve far too much, and I've had to ditch some of my old favourites because they're so crap.

Still, GX is genius. So buy it.
