    Blazing fast speeds with sharp graphics, pulsating sounds and good controls.

    As you can probably tell from this review, we at TotalGames.net were just slightly impressed by F-Zero. If you've got yourself a GBA, you really have to buy this.

    Nintendo's latest version of the F-Zero series for the GBA preserves the "Wow" factor that made F-Zero one of Nintendo's biggest game franchises.

    Provides an outstanding experience, and one I never thought possible on a handheld.

    If you are one who knows what the term 'powerslide' means in racers, you'll undoubtedly want to pick this one up.

    Graphically, the Game Boy Advance comfortably does the game justice.

    I bought this a long time ago when I first got a GBA and I'm STILL playing this game. It's just that good of a remake.

    Impressive version of the SNES classic that works well on the Advance. In fact as a one player game, I'd say it's a little better than Mario Kart.

    Lässt sich schlecht steuern. Die Physik in diesem Spiel ist echt schrecklich. Nicht den Namen wert, den es trägt...
