The game has a cool vibe to it. I like the spatial/spacecraft aesthetics, and the racers all have flamboyant costumes & haircuts 😄
I knew Captain Falcon for so long because he has always been part of every Smash game, so it was nice to finally play his own series after all this time!
The driving mechanics were so special. The spacecrafts are extremely sensitive when you turn, and they all feel really floaty.
I tried a lot of different ones during the first hour, but I eventually stuck to the Astro Robin. This vehicle had great acceleration and top speed, really satisfying & noob-friendly vehicle.
I didn't expect F-Zero GX to be so challenging. The game seems to have a high skill ceiling, and it made ending up in 1st place all the more rewarding.
It's not simple to avoid hitting the walls, and you can easyly fall into the void because you went too fast, or because another racer pushed you into it. And you have to use your boost carefully, because using too much of it can cause your vehicle to overheat.
There were several well designed tracks. I liked the circuit "Port Town - Long Pipe" where you're driving through a tube most of the race while avoiding the pillars in the way. Casino Palace and Cosmo Terminal were also really cool.
The TV interviews always crack me up for some reason. It's so goofy and cliché but in a good way.
I had enough of the game after 5 hours. I don't really have any criticism really, it just didn't manage to grab me for very long. Maybe I'm just not a huge fan of racing games.
