F-Zero X review
Exceptional
by rawgdawg

This game rips. Similar to the original f-zero, X feels like it really pushes beyond what its system seems capable of. Most of the N64 catalogue feels slow and clunky, perhaps due to the awkward control scheme mandated by the controller design. This isn't a problem with f-zero X. Playing this game, you feel FAST. In an arcade-style racing game, isn't that all that matters? I'm surprised to hear that this game was criticized for poor graphical detail. Like, yeah, that's not the point. In exchange for a low polygon count, f-zero offers what is possibly the tightest, most intense and smoothest experience on the n64.
