    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.

    I loved this game. It was fast and fun. The graphics were very good and there were NO slow downs with all the speed. There were like 30 racers and very customizable crafts. There were plenty of modes to keep you playing for a long time. I played a sim racer after this and it was a bore fest.

    The playable version of the game at E3 was incredibly cool. I'm a WipEout fanatic, but I think I'm going to have to invest some serious time in this MEGA-fast and beautiful game. Check it out!

    I have been waiting for a follow up of this game on the gamecube, and I am not surprised with the results - amazing graphics, speed, and game play are almost assured. I really hope that this game is even better than I believe it will be.

    The game rocks. It is fast and hard! Perfect. it reminds me the star wars racing game which was awesome!! The best part is that you can make your own vehicle!! Hey Ben T. you say it is hard right? AND IS THAT A REASON TO PUT THIS GAME 1???? Man you dont know how to rate really. This sucks!

    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.

    This game is the best racing game out there. It beats any other racing game i have ever played. But one thing story mode is like juiced up crazy style. It'z way harder than the grandprix.

    This game is amazing. With speeds so fast you can barely keep track, blink and you'll end up crashing. The levels are challenging and look beautiful. Story mode is fun and also challenging. Customizing your own f-zero racer is extensive, allowing you to add decals, change colors, buy new parts, and more. This game is not easy, but it is not as hard as some people will tell you.

Sure you will have to play levels over, sometimes even several times in a row, but the thing about this game is it's so fun you won't care about playing the level again. The game has plenty of unlockables to keep you playing, and the 3 levels of difficulty will allow you to advance when you're ready. Overall a great game, I recommend to anyone who likes racing games, and anyone who doesn't should still at least give it a rent. You might be surprised.… Expand

    The difficulty level in story mode is INSANE, and it 'aint a game for people just looking for a casual drive around a track. Still, I love F-zero GX. For all hardcore racing fans out there, this game will challenge you for (literally) years, and the racing (mostly due to incredible speed and awesome music) never truly get old.

    What was meant to bring speed and ultimate graphics to the gamecube was F Zero GX, but with this it failed. The story mode is enhanced over other games, and shows a lot of individuality.

    The challenge of this game will bring out the best or the worst in a gamer, a true test of ability and skill. All of this is given to us with a great story, memorable characters, vivid settings, all wrapped up in a presentation that's second to none.
