It's just like the SNES game, what can I say? The graphics are essentially the same, but better. Th music is changed, but still good. True, the one-cart multiplayer is limited, but what did you expect? Don't expect anything too complex with the one-cart multiplayer (One race, all cars are the same). F-zero and mario are the only launch games to use that feature at all. The controls are good; you just have to remember that on tight turns, you hold a trigger button, and repeatedly press the 'A' button.
WORST MULTIPLAYER EVER!!

WOW i said at first when i saw the incredibly speeds of F-Zero max velocity and then i hooked up with some of my friends who imported it and the the GBA system and it turns out that you can only choose one car and play on ONE track and all you are is a different color so i advise if you buy the GBA buy the other games and oh yeah mario doesnt... it just takes skill which all the import people dont have!
Great Graphics, Great Fun

This game is simply a blast. It's got all the elements of a great racer, with the whole futuristic thing. Racing is very fast, and the courses are challenging. In fact, there isn't much need for comment. This game is a no-brainer. Go get it.
gets old fast

yes when i first got it it was fun and cool and in two days of playing i almost finshed the whole game the only thing i really didnt do was get the last vessel. i don't think you should get this game instead get mario kart, but if you really want this game get it used! trust me after playing this game for about a week you wont want it! got out and get mario kart instead!
i give it a two only because i had fun with it for a few days but now im sick of it!
this game was great but the difficulty makes the stars fall

i found this game very challenging yet simple. i also thought that all the cars were to hard to use all except for one(j.b. crystal) because when u turn with the other cars, the entire car rotates with the turn but the car doesnt turn. it keeps going straight which makes very hard to steer with the other 3 cars. i guess its because they are hovercrafts, not cars.i have not unlocked any other cars but i havent even beaten the second level on easy tracks! this game is very hard and if you get frustrated easily with games, i suggest not buying this one.
You have to buy this!!!

This game is awesome. Everything is great. Only one problem. I'm having a hard time winning the fighting comet because completing knight, bishop and queen in master class is so tough. There must be some other way to win the fighting comet; it's just so hard. I've already won the Jet Vermilion by using the codes in Cheat Codes Central but I still have to find a way to win the fighting comet!
DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!

This game is the worst game i've ever played, Don't buy it or you will be boared to death.Also i'ts multiplayer(whitch is the only other thing the game offers) needs every one to have a game pack, which is a big waste of money. If your aiming to get this game I suggest you get something different like advance wars or even super mario.Now the average costermer will ask why is this game so bad or you have no proof that it's bad well i'll tell you why. See what you got to do is compleate races and get cars, whats the point? then when youv'e beaten it, what then? any way it's just going to waste you time and money.The unearther strikes agian saveing people time and money tata!

Good graphics, good sound, but too difficult for most kids and some adults to really enjoy it. Too repetitive in game play also.

Okay. First of all, this is a fun game. During the first two months. I beat it in three weeks total. There is a whole lot of shortcuts and tricks to use, so it is quite easy. There are only ten cars, and only one of them is my favorite. Falcon Mk 2. It is pretty easy to beat the expert levels of the game, and after you get the car I was just talking about, its a breeze.
Sound - The music is okay (guitar music), but it gets pretty old, and you might wanna turn it off. The other sounds like when you hit a car or something is quite monotonous.
Graphics - If you are into the game you won't care. I wasn't. They can really do better than that.
Controls - Easy to use. Adults: beware the first two hours. It would be a great idea to have a personal finger massager handy. Other than that, it is okay to do, but the turns you have to tap the "A" button not to slip.
Overall - great game for kids who have way too much time and not-that-good hand-eye coordination. It gets old very quickly, and you might resort to deleting it all and then starting over. Once you get tired of that, you see how bad you can beat them.
