    Wipeout? forget about that **** This game right here is perfection when it comes to futuristic racing.
    Fast paced, superb controls, great tracks, awesome music, really great graphics, solid framerate and hard as **** difficulty just make the deal better. One of the best games that the Cube has to offer.

    Gamer fo life, F-Zero was first appeared in SNES, not Sega Genesis. Keep your facts straight, and F-Zero will never be in N-Gage either. This game is addicting and insanely difficult. The character models and tracks are great, and it's plain fun. You go 1000-2000 mph. This game is not for wusses like Ben T. who can't beat the first level at story mode.

    What an amazing game. This game destroys F-Zero X by far. The graphics are awesome, and the game really makes you feel like you're racing at 2000 km/h! I recommend this game to anyone.

    Best futuristic racing game ever. People who bitch at the difficulty just suck at video games. The difficulty is actually curved in a way that makes sense as long as you know how to play the game. The graphics are extremely impressive given they are delivered at a solid 60fps. There is no other game that I've ever played that delivers on such a great sense of speed like this game does.

    F-Zero GX is easily one of the best racing games ever made, if not THE best racing game. Everything about this game is so highly polished that it's almost impossible not to have fun with it.

    The visuals are some of the best on the GameCube if not the best on it; the game looks better than a lot of Wii titles and even looks better than some of the very early titles on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The details on the machines give an incredibly realistic look to them and the CG cutscenes in the story mode look stunning for the GameCube. The tracks themselves are beautiful to look at, especially Fire Field & Aeropolis.

    Speaking of tracks, F-Zero GX's tracks are beautifully designed. All of them are extremely fun and a challenge to race on. The music is also very good, however it isn't as great as F-Zero X's. That doesn't mean that it has no good songs, because it does (Lightning, Aeropolis, Fire Field and almost all of the Pilot Themes).

    F-Zero GX is notorious for being ridiculously difficult, and it certainly is difficult. The Master difficulty in the Grand Prix is extremely challenging and getting 1st place in all the tracks is a daunting task (Phantom Road i'm looking at you). And of course, there is the Story mode. The Story gets hard in Easy mode in Chapter 6 and the game is near impossible in Very Hard in chapter 1 (yeah.....). However, the difficulty is there to challenge the player into sharpening and perfecting their skills and once you beat the Story Mode and unlock the hidden racers, you feel accomplished.

    F-Zero GX is an underrated masterpiece and is one the best titles Nintendo has ever published/made. While i still prefer F-Zero X just a slight edge, F-Zero GX is a title that should not be overlooked by racing fans. You want the craziest, hardest and one of the most beautiful racing games ever made, F-Zero GX is the one you are looking for.    … Expand

    Music: Music is one of GX's strongest areas. With it's unlock-able and default music it fits the courses very well.

    F-Zero has a cool graphical style and a megaton of collectibles to unlock. However, these assets ultimately wilt when faced with ball-breaking difficulty and over-sensitive, twitchy controls. I loved the SNES and N64 F-Zero games. They were fantastic! This one is probably best avoided unless you're either hardcore into the franchise or a sado-masochist.

The parts of this game where there is a track that doesn't launch you into oblivion are great; superb high-speed racing. However, for many of the later tracks in the game then it is a matter of the game being so fast that you simply do not have time to avoid or see the ramps that launch you to an instant death. The only way to confront this unfair challenge is to play the challenges (or most annoyingly the whole cup) over and over again until you randomly succeed. This is not fun and massive design flaw. In many ways this makes the game impossible to complete without putting in a disproportionate amount of time (and anger) compared to the fun. I'd love a new F-zero game, but without this fundamental flaw. A game that is neigh-on impossible to complete, not due to size, but due to bad design = low score, simple as that.… Expand

    This game was clunky, people have nostalgia goggles on, the ones before it were better, honestly. The same nerds that hate on modern Nintendo games with challenge, praise this for far less.

    I recently got a Wii and bought this game used for $15. It's a fun game, and the tracks aren't that hard themselves, just the different challenges may be near impossible. That said, I wish Nintendo stopped making everything look like it's for 7 year old kids. The game is too difficult and intense for young players, yet the characters and ships look childish.

The tracks flow really well with constant speed and look really nice (plus they're functional). The graphics are great because they are very detailed, with some good animation cut scenes in the story mode. There are many unlockables and modes such as being able to customize your machine, to pilot profiles, to watching replays. The Grand Prix offers five cups with their varied track designs and plenty of replay value, coupled with interviewing the pilots afterwards. Story Mode is more like a Missions Mode with a plot behind it; it is very difficult, but totally worth beating. The game offers 41 pilots with their own machines, all unique from one another and making for a great character list. The music is pulse-pounding and very catchy to hear. My only complaints with F-Zero GX is that it is quite difficult, especially in the Story Mode where the AI cheats in some chapters (its still beatable, though), and that some of the voice acting and lip-syncing was a little off at times. Otherwise, it is a complete game with few flaws and I enjoyed every minute of it.… Expand

    - The difficulty (challenge, rather, the game is fair) would turn a gamer into a GAMER
    - Look, I won't be able to explain how good the gameplay is without hitting the character limit
    - Okay I will, the game redefines going fast in a racing game, has polished controls, many strategies, doesn't have those crap soap physics (because you'd expect them to improve the handling of the machines as well in the 26th century), encourages risking it all, you get boost power!!, it's FUN
    - Even the cutscenes have been intentionally done like a 2000s wrestling show with over the top reactions and silly dialogue, because if they were all super serious they would never be able to achieve the desired quality. The way they are in the game makes them really stand out from the other FMVs in games and makes them fantastic. Also the characters are all ripped which is cool

    In short, the game is great in literally every aspect. It also has the best version of Rainbow Road (that was sadly renamed to Phantom Road). And if you still aren't convinced, the game runs on a Super Monkey Ball engine. Also, there exists a list of F-Zero AX arcade machines locations, google it, it's one of the best arcade games of all time and the Deluxe cabinet looks absolutely insane in real life.    … Expand

Everything about the controls just feels right, controlling your vehicle is great when you know what you're doing. Unfortunately there is a learning curve to the game (I had played 100 hours before even attempting the Master difficulty), and this sort of racing game doesn't work well in multiplayer.
    The gameplay is extremely addicting, learning the layout of each track to know how to keep your speed above 1200km/h at every second of the race, and the AI is a lot less predictable than in the previous F-Zero titles, making for more unique and overall enjoyable races. The AI racers also prove to be very tough on Expert difficulty, and Master requires almost perfect knowledge of the track to win, making 500 points on a Grand Prix so much more satisfying than any Mario Kart game can achieve.
    I LOVE almost every aspect of this game, but one of it's most obvious flaws is the balancing between vehicles... the Body, Boost and Grip stats are downright lies on a few of the machines, and those with high max speed (e.g. the Fat Shark, which has excellent speed AND acceleration) tend to do much better than others. I haven't even attempted a Master Grand Prix with the Silver Rat... This game has it's flaws, but it's very enjoyable if you commit to it.
