Thats a bit of a concern as I have been looking forward to this for ages.

 

Although I was aware it was a bit brief - I just hope that it works out being one of those games that you want to go back to for brief blasts.

 

It would have been like Waverace (which is still one of my favourite racers), where you completed it in an afternoon and then played 4 player with your friends. The problem being the lack of 4 player and not much choice of tracks.

I kinda doubt you finished every difficulty and unlocked everything. Also, it's an arcade game, it's not for finishing, it's for playing when you feel like it. I'm starting to like this kind of games more and more, I just find myself glued to Wii Play, Wii Sports, Wario Ware and Rayman, just because they're fun and relaxing. I still like my epic games, but my tastes are broadening.

I didn't think much of this, probably cos I'm not normally one for racer type things(he says, having owned N4SU2 and Burnout Revenge), but since seeing an advert on TV I dunno why, I got sort of interested, then I went to find some reviews;

And it looks like this game has had quite a good reception, and I'm seriously considering purchasing it come friday, despite the fact I shouldn't because I have other things to do, and had alot more money flowing out than in lately.

The one thing I am concerned with however, is longetivity/replayability of this game, does anyone know the rough sort of playtime someone could get out of this?

I for one love this type of racer (well, usually, Burnout Revenge was horrible), In fact, this was #2 in my Launch List (before it was delayed). 2 more days.

Perhaps 3-5 hours to complete it (just a guess, may be more). Then it depends on how often you play it after that. (I myself got hours and hours out of the original Burnout...I just played it when I couldn't be bothered with anything new)

Going to walk into GAME Friday morning, and trade in Red Steel to get some money off. Hopefully Red Steel will knock a decent amount off of the price.

 

All normal-priced Wii games are £25 trade-in. (Or so I was told by someone in GAME). Made sure beforehand (As I'm getting rid of Monkey Ball).

I would wait for this, but i'm really getting into my Wii again now and want a new game...and it's by Nintendo! : peace:

 

Really looking forward to it. I'm in the mood for a simple yet extremely fun racer where you jump hundres of miles in the air! :D

My copy has been sent from Gameplay as well (thankfully).

 

It's ok if the game doesn't last long now....with Koririnpa (however you spell it), Sonic, SSX blur and more all coming out in a matter of weeks i'm pleased it won't take too long to finish...i think. Still saying that, i won't want it to finish if it's superb. :)

...you sucking! :heh:

 

F-Zero was one of the best games to come out on the GameCube!

 

 

 

It didn't help that the game was made of steel either! Very difficult game. :(

 

I love it, and it is one of my favourite racers of all time. But, I do admit, the majority of my time playing racing games is either done in multiplayer, or me chucking the game in for a quick blast or two. GX was a killer in multiplayer. :)

It was, did you know that if you kill 5 people in the same race you get an extra life? Use X and a direction and you can get people easily, makes it much easier when you have more lives. It took me hours to do all the story missions on the hardest difficulty.
