Being a Nintendo fan for life I grew up with the F-Zero series. I actually recently purchased this game just to get that feel for the Mode-7 racing games again. I didn't think I would play it that much but ended up loving it. Its really fast and the controls, while take a bit to get used to, are tight and responsive. Its got a great story and just a blast to play. I have a huge Nintendo collection and this is a great addition to it.
