The framerate and action more than makes up for the slightly less than average graphics. This is a title that no self-respecting N64 owner should pass up. Nintendo has created the first true N64 classic since Mario 64.

F-Zero X is a terrific update of a classic game that deserves the attention of anyone who owns an N64.

llevo esperando una secuela de esta saga 20 años...
ojalá algun día...
banda sonora excelente, velocidad y adrenalina, graficamente siempre puntero.
si un juego no envejece es este y su secuela. estos juegos son una locura, una de mis sagas favoritas y eso que no me gustan mucho los juegos de coches pero esto no tiene nada que ver, el feel es increible, es como jugar un hack and slash o un beat em up pero en coches (la sensacion quiero decir) Pruebalo, hazte el favor anda

The best racing series ever thanks to a level of speed no other series has accomplished. I adore F-Zero and its 3 AAA entries all destroy the Mario Kart entries of the same eras. Nintendo made a huge mistake by going all in on Mario Kart when F-Zero was substantially better.

A little more innovation would have been appreciated, but this is one case where a more or less straight update of the SNES original was all that was needed to produce a great game.

This is quite possibly the best racing game I've ever played. It doesn't have the glitz of some other racing games, but it has one thing that's been sorely neglected. Speed. Lots of speed.

You'll love the speed of the play whether it's four player or single. Also there's plenty of options including an elimination death match, time trial etc. I like the fact that you have to unlock the game. It kind of keeps you interested that way.

Comparing F-Zero X with other futuristic racers on the Nintendo 64 is rather difficult, since neither Extreme-G nor AeroGauge are in the same league. In a nutshell, Nintendo has another winner on its hands. One of the finest futuristic racers to grace a console.

Practically flawless from a technical standpoint, the biggest thing missing from F-Zero X is that it lacks a soul.

One of the best racing games of all time. A timeless Classic! The Wipeout games was almost equally great.

F-Zero was fun, but it got old real quick. It looked great and it had interesting characters and vehicles, but after a few races, I got tired of it. It would takes a few weeks before I got back into the game. It is better than the SNES version.

It's fine. I kind of like the original better. This one technically is better- it runs and controls better with more in-depth mechanics behind it- But it feels like a pubescent version of what would become F-Zero GX.

i like this game, well i love all games that is futuristic race with badass vehicles, but f zero x lost the identity all times that launched a new game, is a good game, but he was different from the first f zero, the x game became too much wipeout, wipeout is a awesome game we know, but these games must respect the main identity and not copy each other... i not know if they made the game too close by knowing wipeout, or it was just an accident, maybe what i think it could be a bad judgment. f zero x was NOT the fastest game in N64, he is brutally slower than extreme-g, but still very fast and dynamic. is a fun game, but he had too much weak spots, mainly when we compare to all other futuristic race games present in N64. beside the fanaticism... f zero x not deserve to be higher than score 7, because he was too decomposed, the scenario was a giant low resolution bitmap extended, simple tracks, low amount polygon, strange physic rules (like a magnetic float ship that lost the control over the ice and other things), the mass is poor compared to other games, dry controls and everything became 32 bit design when get distance. N64 was a powerful machine from that generation, we know they was able to made this game much better. what was wonderful in this game was the options, a lot of ships and basically all of then are nice, the design was very sexy and even the "ugly" ships was nice ships, he had many tracks (sometimes one or other was too much similar, but still nice), and was fast enough anyway, this game still rocks for me, f zero x was the last good game from the saga, because gx tryed to copy extreme-g speed and dynamic, nintendo need to know, these games must be what they are, if try to copy other game, this one never will be better than the other. by my taste i give 5, but i know this game deserve 7 by the technical side.

Insanely hard game for masochists. Pure punishment in video game form. The Dark Souls of racing games.
