    I'd say this is one of the best racing games on the Gameboy Advance or any handheld system period, but that would only be limiting my praise as this game is one of the best racing games on any system. There are 34 playable vehicles, 5 tracks, 6 modes including: story, gran prix, time trial, training, challenge and versus.

The music is rock solid especially for the GBA a system in which audio was often compressed. The gameplay is what you expect from an F-Zero game, just fast, fluid racing with really tight controls. The story mode is somewhat engaging, I mean it's not high art, but it is fun if not very difficult as it follows several key racers from the anime. All in all, I can't recommend this game enough.… Expand

    Picked this little baby up £2.50 (brand new) and has to be bargain of the century! Worth picking up if you can get it cheap especially if you loved the SNES originals.

    This game is true to the series. It's got all the characters and expands upon their personalities. The gameplay isn't too advanced from the snes or previous gba f zero, but the tracks are done well enough. It's got a story mode ala the GameCube f zero. Overall this is one of my favorite gba games, but I am a big fan of the series, and this didn't really exceed my expectations.

    An excellent racer and an improvement over Maximum Velocity. I really enjoy this game and is probably my favorite racer on the GameBoy Advanced. Great music, a large selection of racers and is very hard in Expert and Master mode (they are always right next to you!). A great game and highly recommend it.

    GP Legend does little more than add an extra story mode that's a series of challenges that amount to "beat your rival to the end of the course". As an extra it's not too bad, but the real meat of the game is still the GP mode which is more of the same. I have no complaints as the F-Zero games are the best racers on the Advance.

    Offers racing thrills that compete with those in full-sized games. [Dec 2004, p.125]

    The mixture of task and race-based challenges, refined controls and delicately poised difficulty level are adequate compensation.
