IGN reviewed F-Zero GX and it got better scores then EGM gave. (This considering usually IGN is a little more strict, but also reinforces the fact that EGM people are getting too strict sometimes).

Presentation
Near perfect. From slick, intuitive menus to the full use of the F-Zero license (FMV, Story Mode, etc.) and Garage Mode, it's all there. 10.0

Graphics
Gorgeous. Beautiful tracks. Amazing particle and lighting effects. Lots of geometry. Crisp, stylish FMV. 60 frames. Progressive scan, 16x9. One or two unimpressive tracks keep it from perfection. 9.0

Sound
Surprisingly well done. Clean, funny voice work mingles with catchy rock and techno tunes that you'll actually want to listen to. Some sound effects seem subdued. 9.0

Gameplay
Extremely fun, addictive but also sometimes-frustrating and incredibly difficult racer. Tight control. Smart level design. Pros will cherish the experience. Novices may hate it. 9.0

Lasting Appeal
As much as we could hope (minus a track editor). 15 standard cups plus a wealth of unlockable ones. Nine Story Mode chapters. Garage Mode. Multiplayer Mode. Wow! 10.0


Not too bad. Tuesday seems so far away
