"F-ZERO GX"

Well to be honest i haven't had time to play it, after having to go to a London Hospital for a personal reason. However i have played it for at least an hour and all i can say is SUPERB. I will hopefully be able to answer your questions and do a more In-Depth type of review around this time tomorrow, but if there's any questions about Japanese text, all i can say is there is alot of it and it might put you off, if your interested in the story etc.. However it hasn't stopped me from playing it!!! Sorry about the delay but you can rest assured that it's fantastic and no let-down! :) Sorry again.

this is a good free legal harcore shmup

Ha! This reminds me of a post on gamescentral about people quoting obscure japanese games to show how hardcore they are.

I want.

I forgot to tell you guys about a weird feature that is done once you have won a Grand Prix. Once completed a news report is shown with Captain Falcon standng next to a reporter, He says something like 'Captain Falcon, let me ask you one Question' and then can pick out of 3 questions what to ask him, of course you won't have any idea what you have asked him until the reporter speaks to Captain Flacon as the questions are in Japanese, just a minute a go i picked 'Tell us about your machine' and Captain Falcon talks about it for about 10 secs, it's nothing outstanding but a cool little feature to get some more imformation.

Once you have completed a Grand Prix you must then buy a Story Board item from the items shop for 25 tickets, to unlock another story chapter, once this is completed, another story board has to be unlocked in the items shop and so on!! Fingers crossed some cool items crop up soon!

Apparently, it's down for an August release. Not sure when though, but for £15 you can't complain, especially since you get both the Medium Unit and Revision version in one game.

Psyvariar is IMO the best shoot-em-up available across the next-gen formats. The only thing that comes close is Dodonpachi Dai ou jou, closely followed by Ikaruga. All IMO of course :)

Thanks very much for the positive comments and your right about the logo's being in the 'Item section' It must hold some secrets. Just a quick update, the soundtrack to F-Zero GX and music is also excellent but i couldn't help but laugh at the corny Soundtrack near the beginning of 'Story Mode' listen out for it. Also the game is VERY HARD so casual gamers might easily get fed up! Hope my impressions were informative. :)
