    Very fun fast-paced gameplay with solid controls and fun mechanics. 30 beautiful tracks and many vehicles to race in. 10 player races make a nice mess. Your $20 are completely justified with this game.

    Incredible experience can offer you this game, a kind of F-Zero great with excellent controls and great handling, good multiplayer, great speed and especially at a great price.

    I personally thought I would not be surprised is a great game worthy of this great new console 9/10

    pretty challenging if you are looking for some thing to feel f-zero void this is it. it also puts it own unique twist on it and even has a mode for f-zero fans

    A must have for the switch if you like arcade racers. play is very smooth and controls are tight and responsive. both in portable or docked modes. but you do need fast reflexes and time to practice the tracks. something are brutally tricky till you get the feel of there layouts. and multiplayer works pretty good for the most part. but over all the game is a lot of fun too play and wellA must have for the switch if you like arcade racers. play is very smooth and controls are tight and responsive. both in portable or docked modes. but you do need fast reflexes and time to practice the tracks. something are brutally tricky till you get the feel of there layouts. and multiplayer works pretty good for the most part. but over all the game is a lot of fun too play and well worth the $20 for it.… Expand

    Damn I am having a blast playing this game. It is so fast, you have to really focus.
    The graphics are damn amazing and show what the Switch is capable of. Unlike some other games like Need for Speed, you can actually play 4-player split-screen and given the affordable price, a must-have for the early cycle of Nintendo Switch games.

    Gorgeous looking game, other than Zelda this is the must have launch title for the switch.

    Modern graphics with an old school feel, and fzero with a twist. Plenty of tracks, plenty of vehicles, online mode, a bargain for the price.

    This is a great game to hold you over till Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for sure! This game has some flaws and some issues but it doesn't take away from the fact that it isn't a solid indie game. The tracks are awesome and the computers offer a great challenge. Online in this game is alright not great though.
    Should you buy: Yes!!!!! At only 20 bucks it's a must buy for racing fans.

    A great game for the Switch. At $20 you certainly are getting your money's worth. It isn't the best racing game ever, but it's a pretty good one. Especially at that price. It's fast pace and runs smoothly, and there are plenty of unlockables to keep you playing.

    Fantastic graphic running at 60 fps !!! If you love game like wipeout and dream about a new f-zero this is the game for you ! 30 tracks (full tracks and not just 15 with 15 reverse) !! Very challenging game !! The multiplayer mode is really cool too ;)

    Like Plenty Of Other Racing Titles, Fast RMX Has An Emphasis On SPEED! SPEED IS KEY!! It is A Fun Experience Resembling The Likes Of F-Zero & Wipeout On SNES, Playstation, N64, PS2, GameCube & Other Systems.

    This game is good. not the best but good. it feels fast. it looks great at a stable 60fps. A few issues i have with it are the tracks are a bit unforigving one mess up and you lose everything you had even if you were in first the whole race

    I loved Neo, and I love this game as well.

    Controls seem to have improved a bit, and difficulty seems to have been scaled down. Now that's both an improvement and a flaw: yes the races in Neo could get soul-crushingly frustrating on the hardest modes, but that also gave you a massive adrenaline rush if you managed to reach first place, and that feeling isn't really here. Overall    I loved Neo, and I love this game as well.

    Now that's both an improvement and a flaw: yes the races in Neo could get soul-crushingly frustrating on the hardest modes, but that also gave you a massive adrenaline rush if you managed to reach first place, and that feeling isn't really here. Overall though, the single player campaign is a blast, and now every speed league has its own hero mode, yay!

    Local multiplayer works amazing as well, great fun with amazing graphics at flawless 60fps, even when the Switch is undocked. It's just a shame Hero mode isn't playable with others.

    The problem comes with online multiplayer. Other vehicles keep stuttering around you and if you look at the minimap other players just warp all over the place, even way off the track. And then there's some issues with the HUD showing me I'm in first place, but then when I finish it says I'm second or third. Now all of this might be because players are exploiting glitches (as was the case with Neo), because of bad servers or poor programming, but it pretty much ruins online mode either way.

    It's a real shame since the rest of the game is so great, but in 2017, indie or not, heck even Nintendo or otherwise, if your game has online features they should perform way better than they do here.    … Expand

    Worth the price. At twenty dollars you get one of the fastest games on the market. Tight controls, Next Gen Graphics (60 frames per second constantly, even at four player split screen) All at 1080p. Not even the ps4/xbox-1 could do that.

    Fast es una saga de velocidad futurista que bebe de clásicos como F-Zero o Wipeout.

    Nos encontramos ante una revisión de su segunda entrega, lanzada en WiiU.

    Por el momento, el juego cuenta con 3 modos: Campeonato, multijugador y Modo Héroe.

    En el modo campeonato contamos con 3 ligas (que no son más que modos de dificultad, al estilo Mario Kart) compuestas por diferentes Copas de 3 carreras. A media que vayamos conquistando podios iremos desbloqueando Copas con diferentes trazados y nuevos vehículos. En total tenemos 30 circuitos y 15 naves.

    El Modo Héroe nos reta a vencer en cada circuito con las reglas de F-Zero. Turbo y escudo van unidos añadiendo un plus de dificultad para los más expertos.

    Es un título exigente. En las primeras 4 Copas de Subsonic (el nivel más fácil) no tendremos excesivos problemas, per a partir de ahí la cosa se endurece hasta el punto de que ahora mismo es más sencillo ganar carreras online que superar alguna Copa en los dos primeros niveles de difcultad. Y todavía nos quedará un tercero y el Modo Héroe.

    El online es uno de sus puntos fuertes. Muy sólido, sin lag, y muy rápido a la hora de encontrar partida. Con 8 jugadores simultáneos, va muy fluido y la experiencia es muy satisfactoria.

    En breve tendremos una actualización gratuita que incluirá un modo Time Trial ideal para practicar en los circuitos más exigentes y la opción de jugsr online con amigos.

    En definitiva, estamos ante un muy buen título de carreras con una jugabilidad exquisita y una dificultad que asegura su duración a base de picarnos con nosotros mismos para conseguir completarlo. Todo en unos excelentes 1800p y 60fps.

    Es un indie, pero no lo parece, y por 20 euros ofrece una experiencia a la altura de los mejores arcadesde carreras.    … Expand

    SERIOUS SPEED

    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    SERIOUS SPEED

    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

    fast RMX is the most speed game in all story, it has a pretty good price, beautiful races and an epic speed that any other game had, the only bad thing is that when you play a lot of time, you may be bored, for me, is 9.

    Great graphics, fun gameplay and that familiar feeling.

    This feels like an F-Zero game and plays like one too. But! It's not.

    You can play well with the Joy Con controllers individually which makes it a great purchase as you can play multiplayer without purchasing more input devices.

    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.

Now, that's not to say the game isn't good. It controls well and does have the unique phase shifting mechanic. When it comes down to it, the game play is the strongest part of this game which is typically what one would look for. I'll probably ditch it for Mario Kart 8 when that comes, but for now, it's an enjoyable time killer.… Expand
