    There are only 12 cycles on a huge track, leaving you by yourself for much of the race. [Jan 2002, p.128]

    My only gripe is that there isn't a pure battle mode in this game. But the single player, 2-player co-op, and 4-player racing modes both My only gripe is that there isn't a pure battle mode in this game. But the single player, 2-player co-op, and 4-player racing modes both have enough explosions and cutthroat intentions to make up for it. The weapons are fun to use, ranging from a simple machine gun to mines to a rail gun. The game is always challenging and will have you biting your lip in excitement at every turn. The graphics are pretty amazing, as well, especially when you get to see a race track spiraling a canyon, an ocean-based city, and a icy mountain. Buy this game if you like racing games and blowing stuff up. Highly recommended. Full Review »

    4 player mode rules, and in GC looks fine, more than in PS2 where there isn't even 4 player version. Buy it for GC if you like FZeroGX.
