F-ZeroGX...I p0wn it! - Page 3

I really want to get this game...since racing games are my favorite...I just haven't been able to get out to the store. Hearing all of this reminds me about the last time I played F-Zero Maximum Velocity for GBA...when I finally beat every race on Master Difficulty with every racer....and well..nothing special happened at the end..but I felt like I accomplished something lol. It was hard.

Yes, you will feel a great accomplishment once you beat Master on GX. I've yet to get to master, but I've heard its hell.

I finally beat the 3rd chapter on story mode after about 12 tries... i used the Snake trick... it's hard to stay on course but once you get the hang of the course it works wonders!

Woa, this game is FINALLY OUT in Europe!!
I picked it up yesterday and it's awesome!

First I didn't like how you bump into walls... it made me feel like a pinball-ball. But after I got used to the controls (way tighter than F-0 X) it was good.

So far I've beated the first 2 Cups on Novice. And I beated the 3rth chapter of Story Mode.

Yeah it's hard, but I beated all the levels within... 5 tries. So it's just perfect.

Great game.

Oh, question: can you upgrade the machines of the standard racers?? Let's say I like Jody Summer, but think that her max speed sucks... can I like buy a new engine for her machine? That would be cool...

Thats what I wondered initally too, and the answer as far as I can tell is NO. You can only make new machine's from scratch, not upgrade exsisting machines. Sorry Angrist.

It's better this way.

man I love the sound of Angrist...

I know this is kind of late lol, but I finally got a chance to rent it on Saturday and, even though I haven't had much time to play it because of school, I've beaten everything on novice, and the Ruby Cup on Standard, and I was about to beat Saphire Cup on Standard but I kept making stupid mistakes in Mute City, which I'm rather good at. My driver of choice so far is White Cat, I just like how tight she can make turns, and she has a good top speed, so if you don't hit the walls, and have good control, you can get up to the lead without depending on boosts. I wish I could keep this game for longer, I'm going to try to beat some things on expert soon...that should be interesting. I maybe end up asking my parents to get it for me for christmas. Great game so far, but I hope there are more courses, since I don't like many of the first few. I could go on and on with comments about this game, but I think I'll just stop here. I've been waiting for a good racing game for the Gamecube for a while now..

I still haven't played or bought this game yet.

Canyarion · 11-19-2003, 04:03 AM

There's a bonus cup.

But so far I haven't been able to beat the first course.

Great game, I better play it enough before 1080 comes out.

ZebraRampage · 11-20-2003, 05:37 PM

Last night I beat everything on Standard and I opened the Diamond Cup, and I almost beat that on Novice, but I realized that I shouldn't have been playing because of all the work I have to get done lol.. I'm progressing in this game pretty well, how are you doing Angrist, since I know that you just recently got it as well?

On novice?

you aint seen nothing yet. amateur.

Canyarion · 11-21-2003, 10:14 AM

Euh I haven't played it much lately, but last time I wasn't able to survive the first track of the Diamond Cup... I keep falling.

But I'll manage it... next time I play.

ZebraRampage · 11-21-2003, 04:03 PM

I just beat everything on Novice, and Standard, and I have like one day left to start Expert. I can handle it! I was so close to getting first on everything in the Diamond Cup on Standard, but the last course, whatever it's called, phantom something..I got 5th, it's tricky.

Canyarion · 11-21-2003, 04:14 PM

But you still won, so why bother?
I remember with F-Zero X, on expert I really NEEDED to kill my rivals. And then finish as... 6th or something, that was enough.

The extra mode wasn't funny anymore... way too hard.

ZebraRampage · 11-21-2003, 07:25 PM

Yeah, I guess it doesn't matter what place you get as long as you are first overall, I just like to win. And also, I just beat Ruby Cup on Expert, and I beat the 3rd Story Level, on my fifth try, it took me a few times to find out where to use my boosts. I don't if I should get this game, because I want to beat it, but I don't have enough time to beat it, and once I do beat it, it seems like it will get boring. For some reason, the only thing that's keeping me entertained with the game is the level of difficulty, and once I master it, it will just seem boring. They should allow you to rent games for 2 weeks lol.
