![]() To Mechacide: You said you saw some videos of F-Zero GX. Have you played it though? Well i have to assure you that this game needs more skill to go through on normal mode than any wipeout on its hardest, faster modes. The harder modes in GX are next to impossible unless you have some experience from F-Zero X or if you use some cheating techniques. The twisted level design makes it easy to get off the road and it forces you to slow down and lose your rank. It needs precision and fast reflexes to pass the dangerous parts at full speeds. One slight mistake and you are off the road because for their most part, most tracks have no barriers. Add to that the 29 CPU opponents who are more aggressive (sometimes unfair) and there are no weapons to use against them (the only way to kill someone is to throw him out of the road or to hit him hard with your own car which is risky). Then you can understand why F-Zero GX is known to most people as one of the hardest games for the past generation along with Ninja Gaiden. I'm not saying that its a better game, or that the levels are better designed but there is no way that its tracks are "easier" to navigate than Wipeout, with or without opponents. I played Wipeout HD and compared to GX its like going for a walk after a rollercoaster ride.Įasily this generation's best racer, and this expansion makes it X10 more awesome. ![]() "It's the one thing I've probably been lacking on the Australian circuit.

The 23-year-old from Sydney left the likes of 2011 world champion Yohan Blake from Jamaica trailing in his wake. "It feels good to take a few scalps early on," Browning said. "I've wanted to get him (Blake) for a long time. All the world's best guys are on my hit-list.
