F-Zero Maximum Velocity is an exceptional game. This game has high quality gameplay and replay value, along with good graphics and sound. The many modes of the game include: Grand Prix Training Single-Pak Link MultiPak Link Championship mode There are 4 cars to choose from in the beginning, and different cars are unlockable later in the game. Each car has different statistics. For example, some cars may have great turning but bad power. In Grand Prix mode you race against computer players. There are 5 laps of hard-core racing in the modes Pawn, Bishop, Knight, and Queen. You have to make the cut for every lap, as each lap goes on a less number of racers survive. For the first lap you have to be in the top 15, 2nd top 10, 3rd top 7. 4th top 5, and 5th top 3. You also get turbo boosts after every lap you complete, which allow you to speed up for a short amount of time. This mode is challenging and will give you a lot of replay value. Training mode is a very good mode to have. In this mode you get to practice a board you are stuck on. You can race by yourself or race against one computer car in which you get to choose the difficulty. You will probably end up using this mode a lot, since the difficulty is very challenging in the Grand Prix mode. In single pak link mode you get to race against a friend with one cartridge. You only get to do one board and you cant choose your car. Although they should've added more options to this mode, it's better than nothing. In the multi pak link mode you get to race in any board, and choose any car to compete against your friend. This is a very good mode, but too bad you need 2 cartridges. :( Championship mode is a unique mode that you have to earn. You can watch a car race in a board. Also, you can try to beat the computer times in boards. You get to race against the computer in ghost form. This means you can see it but you cannot hit it. This game is very good and I would recommend buying it. -Ze Potato Overall score: 9.15 |
