    The best Nintendo title since Super Smash Bros Melee. And for racing fans, this is one of the best games ever.

    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.

    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.

    i finished the game in 4 days. have unlocked all maps, and parts, and vehicles. the diffuculty is not that hard. I hope they make it harder next time, and maybe a bit faster. The only thing i miss is the great music they had on the 64.

    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

    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.

    Still the most exhilarating racing game ever, in my opinion, even in 2017. Only Burnout 2 comes close. I've just gone back to playing it on the Dolphin emulator and the graphics still look great (I've upped the resolution to 1080p though).
