    Fast RMX is perhaps the best modern F-Zero/Wipeout style game out there. Other titles such as Redout manage to get close, however Fast RMX has the best balance of control, gimmick and level design.

    Really fast and amazing gameplay. Best racer on the Switch along with Mario Kart Deluxe.

    Incredibly good anti-gravity racing game like Wipeout and also one of the fastest I have ever played. The arcade elements adds a lot of fun also. The graphics are outstanding and makes this game to the best looking game for the Switch today. The optical distortion when you go into turbo speed is breathtaking. This will increase the feel of speed (which is already high) even more faster.Incredibly good anti-gravity racing game like Wipeout and also one of the fastest I have ever played.

For me it hits the absolutely cutting edge of speed which is still barely playable. And this is absolute fantastic, you need to play it to get what I mean. Truly a technical master piece and one of my favorite racing games through all platforms.… Expand

    This is definitely worth a look if you are a Wipeout or F-Zero fan. The course graphics, vehicles and sense of high speed are all certainly pros. The cons include just average music and the 'feel' / handling of the vehicles is not as highly tuned as in Wipeout. The game also feels a bit 'generic' due to a complete lack of story for the pilots and their racing teams. Still recommended forThis is definitely worth a look if you are a Wipeout or F-Zero fan.

    One of the best racing games on the Switch, in my opinion. The way it's running on a Switch got me hooked immediately with its smooth fast-paced gameplay, with a variety of cars and maps, it's enjoyable to play both in co-op and in singleplayer, the music is nice and doesn't fall off the place.
    It's a must-have if you fan of this genre and worth of its price.

    I always loved fast pased racing games that are set in a distant future. Fast RMX is the closest to F-Zero racing game you can imagine. If you love such games go give it a try. Sadly there are some things missing like a good online multiplayer feature.

    Un juego bueno, no es de mis preferidos pero eso no le quita merito, rapidez, fluidez y gameplay sobresaliente. creo que trae hasta mas pistas de la versión de wii u.

    Velocidad, en eso se resume, carreras vertiginosas y freneticas, muy divertido, recuerda mucho al ya clasico F-zero, es una delicia jugarlo con la switch en modo portátil y ver pasar esos gráficos y pistas tan bonitas a esa velocidad en la pantalla pequeña, va perfectamente en la switch, recomendadisimo.

    This game is a blast and a bargain. For those of us who don't want to fork out 60 bucks for Super Mario Kart 8 again, this fills that void. What it lacks in originality it makes up for in high speed fun. It feels like the love child of F-Zero and WipeOut.

    The graphics of this game are from another planet. You wouldn´t expect this from a handheld console and the best part is that the sensation of speed is done beatifully! The only thing I didn´t like is that so far I haven´t had but one online game since it´s difficult to find any other users online.

    One of the best games on the Switch for 20$
    Has a lot of maps (More than 30), 15 vehicles, enough game modes to not be bored, 4 player split screen and free updates + no DLC's or micro transactions!
    If you have 20$ and you don't know what to buy, buy this gem, looks really good (1080P 60FPS) and plays really good!

    This game is like the classic f zero games there is plenty of single player content which is super fast paced making you constantly want to scream "now this is pod racing". One problem with this single player though is the 3 difficulties feel roughly the same, hell the easiest one is the hardest in my opinion despite this the games a lot of fun and worth it for that alone.

Even though it would make the game even more of a F-Zero-clone i would really like to see that for a possible FAST RMX 2 other than that they need to work on the fact that boost becomes too important within the hyper-difficulty. The last thing i want to add to the review is the pricing which is so reasonable that i have to give this game a solid 8.… Expand

    The cups and tracks have changed, there's now three races per cup and all DLC tracks from Neo, are on the Switch with no extra purchase, the cars have also been changed, to me it looks like the Models have been remade as some that looks bulky on the Wii U look more polished and toned down, which that I like a lot.

    When playing with a friend, the games runs a smooth 60fps in Tabletop mode, which is brilliant and the Joycon controls feel smooth and fluent to hold.

    If you have a Switch and can't wait for Mario Kart 8, definitely get this game, you won't be disappointed!    … Expand

    Ok fine, i admit it, im not a big racing fan. I’ve played a few Mariokarts, some F-zero’s, Extreme g’s, and various open world games where you get to drive vehicles. But Over all, racing only games are not something i normally go looking for. That being said the idea of something like fast racing neo sparked my intrest when i first heard about it for the wiiu, a gorgeous looking game where it seems like you move at the speed of light, and its cheap? sign me up! Sadly, i never did pick it up for the wiiu, so i was even more enthused when i heard it was coming on the switch as FAST RMX with improved graphics and all the dlc content added, all this for 20.00 dollars is a great deal, but is it worth your time? Yes, and lets look into why.

    GRAPHICS
    Fast RMX has fantastic visuals, i would even go as far to say that its the best looking game on the Switch, besides breath of the wild. The vehicles have a sharp and futuristic look to them, and although theres not much varience between them, i never really thought they looked out of place. The scenery on the 30 diffrent tracks are stunning and have similar appeal that mariokart had, in the sense that i found myself replaying certain tracks over and over because of how gorgeous they were.  They are varied as well, from lush tropical jungles to space stations to Ice floes on giant glaciers. They really are fun and diverse.  The smooth gameplay comes in at 1080p and 60fps in the switches docked mode, and stays at 60fps even during 4 player split screen(which by the way this game has.) It is the most technically achieved game on the switch yet.

    GAMEPLAY

    As the title implies, its all about speed in Fast RMX. Racing is blindingly fast especially on harder modes, the game has three, novice, advanced and expert, you unlock advanced and expert as you complete races in 1st or 2nd place. You also unlock new vehicles (15 in total)and  tracks this way. I cant stress how well they implemented the difficulty modes in this game. The harder the mode the faster you go, and while that might seem overwhelming to some, the game does a fantastic job of easing you in by starting you off in novice mode. By the time you’ve made it through all the tracks the first time, youll be ready to take on advanced, and by that point you welcome the challenge and thrill of going hundreds of miles faster then you were in the previous difficulty mode. The racing mechanics are very solid, i felt like I was always in control of my vehicle and the times that i crashed i felt like it was something i did wrong, well that is most of the time, the tracks do have some projectiles and obstructions that get thrown in the way, but after racing a track a few times, you can memorize where and how they will pop-up. The boost mechanic adds a lot of fun and depth, hitting multiple boosts is very satisfying as that’s when you’ll notice the screen start blurring due to the speed. its also worth to note that the HD rumble works very well with this game, youll feel every bump and crash.

    SOUND
    The music in this game is very well done. If you like EDM at all, do yourself a favor and turn up the volume when playing this. The game has over 25 tracks that are mostly quite catchy and get your heart pumping. The sound effect get the job done but nothing that really stands out except for the voice over guy who does a great job and is the same one from the F-zero franchise.
    CONCLUSION
    Even if your not a hardcore racing fan, there is a lot of fun to be had with FAST RMX. the incredible speed of the game might seem too much for some to overcome, but despite its blazing fast gameplay its very friendly to casuals. I also can t stress how much of a deal this is at 20.00. You will get hours upon hours of high speed racing through beatiful tracks and enviroments. I give FAST RMX a 9.0/10

    The good: Speed, graphics,Control
    The bad: no online co-op as of yet, some obstructions are a bit cheap
    The ugly: some of those car designs    … Expand

The two colors you switch to are blue and orange, and you have to swap between the two to boost on the corresponding color panel or to make corresponding jumps. This game is also crazy fast. Not F Zero GX fast, but fast enough to make the Switch run circles around other handheld devices.

    My only complaint is newcomers getting used to the controls. Every time I played this at college, I had to constantly remind them what the boost button is or how to lean on corners. The game is quite technical, as people I play with locally tend to come last place. Overall though I think this is a great eshop title and hope to see more from Shinen on the Nintendo Switch.    … Expand
