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!

The most out of control F-Zero yet.

This is the third official version of F-Zero. There are hacks claiming to be F-Zero 2, but there are only three games in the series, F-Zero (SNES), F-Zero X (N64), & F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (GBA). F-Zero is a relatively simple concept... it is all about a space race. Each vehicle is equipped with a jet propulsion system and magnetic stabilizers. You race down the tracks at speeds exceeding 600mph. Racers from all over the galaxy come to compete. Once you are on the track, anything goes. Other racers can even push you off the track and to your death.

I was rather pleased with the feel of the game. The whirr of the engines was well done for this limited audio power on the GBA. Collision SFX did lack in the sense that they sounded more like someone sneezing. The cityscape presented on the earlier tracks was well preserved from the SNES version. The vehicles have a new take on appearance. These are nicely rendered in 3D when you select your machine, however in game racing uses a very dulled down version of the CG models featured in the vehicle select screen. The track does spin nicely and appears to have slight usage of a 3D engine.

I was disappointed with the actual control of the game. Racing is very difficult to control. It seems the slightest tap will send you ricocheting from wall to wall. This became increasingly annoying when I was trying to place. The recharge ports are also too small to really regain any energy. By the time you are finished being bounced around on the track, you have already passed your chance to recharge. There is definitely a high learning curve in this out of control world.

I did not like the game. I enjoyed the first two F-Zero games, F-Zero X more than the original. F-Zero: Maximum Velocity just seems to take more time to learn than I am really willing to put forward. I do not recommend this to newbies of the series. If you have played previous installments, you may find value here, but as for myself, once tossed around, twice shy.

F-Zero a speedy failure...

The first game i bought and it was disapointing.....

The grapichs are not very good and the controls aren't very nice to. I think this a funny race game but that's it: 1. it's ugly 2.the controls are weird 3. don't buy, buy another race game like gt advance Championship!

I did not like this game at all. The graphics sucked and so did the tracks. I thought it was so bad i took it back and got my money back. It may just be me but its not worth it.

Bad Graphics

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!

SO SO game

this was my second game i got and its okay its just you run out of fuel too quick and you can only get it back in one place but for all of it to come back you need to just wait there for about 7 secs and thats enough time for the other people to pull in front of you by this game if you like really fast racing games but for me i don't that much i mean the graphics and control are good but the game just goes way! to fast

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!

Offers little over its SNES counterpart

This is almost a perfect port of the SNES version of this game that surfaced in the late 80's as a launch title for the SNES/Super Famicom.

It gets old quick and tracks all begin to look the same. The ability to do 2-player link off a single cart is the best feature this offers.

Mario Kart Advance (also a SNES title) represents a 3rd generation SNES title and was more advanced than FZero in it's day, as a result it's port for the GBA (also a perfect port) is much better than FZero, so if you want a game like this, I would recommend Mario Kart Advance.

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this game and I thought it would be the coolest game ever, but little did I know that this game stinks. For one you can barely steer and when you make the tinyest turn you go sliding and hit the edge and get 'zapped'. If you get 'zapped' to many times you run out of 'power'. It does have pretty good graphics though. I would deffinately reconsider getting Golden Sun instead.
