F-Zero GX: The Greatest Racer Ever?

I'll take Wipeout Pure on PSP over the FZeros. Wipeout along with the amazing downloaded extras was the killer app for me to buy the system. They pretty much doubled the content of the game through downloadable packs and some day someone will find a way to make their own.

As much as I like F-Zero GX and all of the previous versions of the series, I have to go with Wipeout 2097 - or XL to you Americans. It was all about racing the Piranha around Talon's Reach and waiting for "Perfect Lap" to flash up.

Agreed with JC -- I thought the peak of futuristic racing was Wipeout XL/2097. I've been chasing the same high ever since, but Wipeout 3, Wipeout 64, Wipeout Fusion, the Extreme-G series, Quantum Redshift, Powerdrome, Star Wars Racer, and more .... no thrill.

F Zero X, however, was great! Also, Wipeout Pure is cool.

F-Zero GX is

too hard for me.

I like F-Zero X the best from the Nintendo games. I wish GX were more like that.

Racket - beat this time

I agree with Racket! If F-Zero GX isn't the best racer ever, it's certainly my favorite.
I love how fast it is and how tight the controls are. It takes a lot of practice to be able to play well, but once you do, it rocks.
I've practiced enough to be able to beat all the cups, but since I use Dr. Stewart, I can't beat very many of the advanced levels in Story Mode. Has anyone been able to beat very many of those? Man, they're crazy hard!
I really like the tracks as well. That one with the sudden jerks in the Diamond Cup is great! The full pipe one is good too.
However, in the music department, nothing can beat Daytona!

I have to say though, SegaVega, I wish I could play the arcade version. The only time I had a chance was on a band trip to a mall: I went to the Sega Gameworks arcade the whole time to hang out, hoping there would be a F-Zero machine, and there was one at the skating rink the whole time!

Wipeout 2097 (or XL as it's known stateside) for the PS1. That's my fave.

Oh, and I've always told myself once I get the money and room, etc, I'd buy the arcade version

I like F-Zero GX a lot. My one problem with the game is that sometimes it's way tooooo fast. Gives me a headache sometimes.

Oh, I love that sense of speed! I wish they would make a mario kart track with that kindof speed!
