F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (Game Boy Advance, 2001)

I bought this game for the thrill of playing F-Zero. I grew up playing it for Super NES and I just had to have it for my Gameboy. It's an awesome game and I sill play it after beating it so many times. Classic!

For those people pondering the appeal of Nintendo's F-Zero franchise, the games provide a character rich world (not so rich in this particular incarnation, as it mostly stays true to the SNES F-Zero) with a Yogi Bear's Space Race and Wacky Races feel, except really cool death explosions and crazy off the track plummets.

A few snazzy things such as good depth illusion mixed with unlockable vehicles, a decent sound track, up to 4 player link capability (with combined stats), 20 tracks, and 4 classes of difficulty (A person that has suffered under the mind-searing difficulty of F-Zero on the GameCube will find no let up on the merciless self inflicted portable pain here) keep this one fresh smelling. The vehicle models look very nice and the heights will cause you to sight see instead of drive (yes, I am truly graphically starved, but the old-timers will enjoy it). It might take a rookie driver a while to master control of themselves around tight corners but soon they'll be boosting onto ramps and free falling to cities below. Overall it has a nice classic feel. A worthy permanent dweller of my library.

May your NES not blink,

Similiar to SNES version, has new tracks tho; graphics and music are similar. GP legends goes more in the direction of future Fzero games, while keeping the mode 7 graphics; I like that game too... Its great if you want to play Fzero on yr GBA or DS.
