    Very smooth gameplay on Nintendo Switch, 60fps, good graphics, the color change boost idea is also very fresh, but the AI ​​level is very difficult

    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. There are still some general imperfections, such as the turning feeling very slow and barely being able to get around some corners, but Fast RMX still manages to be a great racing game despiteFast RMX is perhaps the best modern F-Zero/Wipeout style game out there.

    Bro I wasted my money. It reminds me of M&Ms kart racer in that I should've just bought Mario Kart

    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.

    Great polished sci-fi racer with fantastic music. If you like Wipeout and F-Zero this game is for you.

    Its not bad if you get it for a good price. Graphics are pretty decent in handheld mode and its a pretty fun arcade racer.

    On the other side, there are no weapons like in wipeout, nothing really new or exciting on the level designs and those switching color mechanics dont really do it for me.

    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.

    This game is mediocre at best. It's not that anything in particular is really bad, it's just that nothing at all is good. Even if the game looks like WipeOut or F-Zero, it's so soulless.

    The biggest gameplay element is "changing phase" ie, make sure your trusters have the same color as the boost. This feels like something stolen straight out of Ikaruga.

    This is a game that is good enough to borrow or rent, but I really regret paying for it.
    I take F-Zero for gamecube or n64 over this any day of the week.    … Expand

    Pretty solid game, feels like what could've been from the F-Zero series if Nintendo didn't forgot about it.

    a worthy successor to the F-zero franchise. this is also one of the best indie games on the switch.

    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.

    Cool indie game but lacks a bit polish. I would love to see some guns or stuff like that in a future racer. If You enjoy fast paced future racer Youll still enjoy this one.

    A great racer with some really beautiful scenery. The game is fast, smooth and a good for couch multiplayer. Would have loved to of seen some ranking system in the online multiplayer and a livery editor.

    Nothing special just another boring racer. The phase shift is interesting for a few minutes. Yet another rubbish switch game I bought because of lack of options around switch launch time.

    It may need some more polish in its modes to race with the big leagues, but Fast RMX is a great title with challenging difficulty and beautiful locales that are matched with its nose-bleeding sense of speed and arcade-inspired mechanics.

    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.

    Okey game, I wish it was a little easier to avoid obstacles that come at you and geme looks cheap sometimes, but it's still a great title. If you are into racing games like this you will like it.

    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!

    great graphics with solid 60fps during the game.

    however, when talking about the gameplay, it's just a mediocre imitation of WipeOut series.
    Same techno style soundtracks, but much more boring. Same championships, but much less fascinating. Sometimes the camera position is weird, making it difficult for player to control.

    but at least, it's a playable game with good graphics for only $19.9.

    Bought it, but I can't really get into it. Doesn't seem to be much of a skill element, more learning the courses to stop just bouncing off walls. I wanted a Wipeout type experience, but this isn't it.

    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.

    If you haven’t played Fast Racing NEO on Wii U (or you have and you want more of the same, but prettier), if you miss F-Zero, if you can’t wait to get your hands on the new Wipeout, don’t think twice about buying Fast RMX. [05/2017, p.71]

    A well-built racer that certainly stands up to the legendary pedigree of the F-Zero series. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 21]
