Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion the two greatest futuristic race games EVER are Wipeout for the Playstation, and THIS game.
When it comes to futuristic racers, good ones are few and far between. The trick is, unlike a realistic racer, a futuristic one has to be totally unlike anything in the real world, yet be possible to control without banging your head into the wall in frustration. F-zero manages to have a floaty control system that perfectly translates the hovercraft you control with the limited digital control system. The craft you can pilot are all different, but none of them are lousy or unbalanced. Instead they are each unique, having primarily strength, speed, acceleration ect, but never to the point where they become useless as a result. And because of this you may have a favorite craft which is a lot of fun to control, but when you feel like it you can switch craft and still win with a different style of racing.
The tracks are some of the most memorable in racing game history. There is simply no substitute for good track design, and game designers for racing games should be made to play this game just to observe how good track design can result in a compelling game experience. You have tracks with magnets that pull you into the wall, tracks with wind blowing you around, tracks with ice that makes you slip and slide, tracks with huge jumps that can save you huge amounts of time. You have to strategically use the boost function (one boost per lap after the first lap ends); you have to keep your shields from getting too low...
This game is quite literally the stuff of gaming legend. There have been sequels, but never has the greatness of the original been touched on again. The music is so good people still make remixes of it and you can hear it in the Super Smash Bros. stages based on F-zero. The graphics may be old, but they are beautiful, crisp, clean, and FAST. The level Silence when played with the pink hovercraft is one of the fastest tracks in any racing game I've ever seen (in terms of feeling of speed). If you've got a Super Nintendo you owe it to yourself to buy one and a copy of this game. About the only flaw I can see in F-zero... is that it was single-player only.
