Easily my favorite racing series. F-Zero GX is the coolest fucking game...I hate all this Gran Transimo shit. "LULZ how realistic, its like I'm driving a car!" I can do that on my own free time. Its not every day I can shoot out a tunnel at 4000 mph with giant dragons and disco balls flying through the background.

They're making a movie out of this series, but they changed the name to Speed Racer.

exactly! the custom cars you can make also was a nice bonus for me. Story mode in GX was tough bu...well then again I did beat it on very hard...that and the staff ghosts were hard...2 are nearly impossible! :mad:

last one i played was the one on the n64. I had the gba rom too but didn't play much. It's a good series in term of multiplayer I think, but kinda sucks solo

Original SNES version by far.
In fact, I don't even like the other ones at all.

You guys are fucking tripping. Just about every F-Zero since the SNES release, has improved upon the previous one, i.e. they all kick ass. I bet you guys didn't even PLAY the GBA ones.
Straight slackin'.

haha, once upon a time... I used that code too.
Also you know what I like about F-zero X, when you fall off a track and you hear NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, that shit is hilarious.
It's should gain infamy like Sega Rally's "Game Over YEAAAAAAAH" but it's yet to happen.

/troll post Nigga please, I've been into F-zero long before I've been on this site. Brawl's good fun, but still not my thing.
Also you know what I like about F-zero X, when you fall off a track and you hear NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, that shit is hilarious. :rofl: Oh man, that was hilarious when I first heard it. I also like when it says "You got... BOOST POWEEEEER!!" in a fat man voice. :rofl:

I love the series if only for the music and characters. It's just too damn hard. I can't even get past the third chapter in story mode on GX. F-Zero has me fucked from the word "go" like Mitt Romney's presidential bid.

I remember when I got to play the F-Zero GX arcade machine with the moving seat n' shit at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. My gf was there with me and I almost forgot about her ass. I was like in heaven.
My first F-Zero was Max. Velocity on the GBA. I played that shit to death but no one else around me did :-/. I don't have a GC/Wii so I never got GX. Same with the N64 game. I did pick up the GBA sequel but after playing Wipeout Pure and then going back to that was hard for me. The graphics just make it so hard to see what's coming up until the last second. It feels really trippy.
All the more reason Nintendo needs to get on that shit now. I need a DS F-Zero with 4 player Nintendo Wi-Fi play and a new Wii game despite my lack of a Wii. I want others to experience what I've experienced, breakneck hover car racing.

My favorite is the one coming out for the Wii with 30 player online with no lag *keeps dreaming*
Otherwise, it's F-Zero GX, it being the only one I've really played. Hopefully the next one will improve custom options and have more tracks.

Emulator, nigga. Play The FIRST F-Zero (and it's Japan Only sequel), and the 64 one, asap.

hmm, either the original or GX.
I have fond memories of going to my friends house when we were kids and playing F-zero and starfox on his snes plus I have it on the VC. I love that game.
GX is FAST, plus the track designs are awesome/frustrating. plus the star fox character was a nice little....thing? I dont know. all I remember is that his car looked like an arwing.
damn, now I gotta play these games again.

GX is the best hands down. Ive completed the whole game 100% and it was pretty hard.
I hope they make a wii F-zero that has online play.

I accidentally voted x I didn't even play it I meant to vote gx:sad:
Don't sleep on maxmum velocity either i still got that for gba, shit was tight as hell basically it was a better version of the original f zero and a lot harder to.

F-Zero is mos def the shit, though I am partial to Wipeout. I actually didn't know there where so many versions of F-Zero. I have the SNES, GBA, and GC ones, gotta go with the OG SNES though for sure. The GC one I own is like in such great condition because I think I've played it like 3 times, I remember it being pretty tough. Gonna go have to play it some later on.

one partial reasons why I loved GX so much is because of the awesome Drum & Bass tracks

Orly? I never noticed them. I will just have to go play now then...

There is no such thing as a bad F-Zero game, they're all awesome, and it's one of my favorite racing series.
Having said that, F-Zero X on the N64 is easily my favorite. I dig the heavy metal soundrack, the track design, but most importantly, the X-Cup. Tell me, how many racing games have you played that have a random track generator? Yes, the tracks are created at random... How awesome is that shit? Some of the tracks created are insane.
The thing that bugged me about GX is the difficulty. I'm no slouch at F-Zero, I've beat the SNES and N64 games on expert difficulty, but GX is seemingly impossible, whereas the other games are fucking hard, but you know it can be done. Apart from that it's pretty good, but I thought the track design was not as good as X's.
As for the GBA games, I was honestly expecting them to suck, but they pretty much play like a sequel to the SNES game, and that's a very good thing.

I am grid locked between X and GX.
GX was beautiful as all outdoors but X had an insane fun factor going for it. I am leaning toward GX but as I said there was something about X that I can't find in even the most fun GX tracks.

So this thread made me sit down and play GX a little today. I can't win a grand prix so I can get enough tickets to buy the next chapter of story mode. How pathetic is that?
