Would Highly recommend the game if you Love F-zero's core gameplay, Like Star fox's shooting style, Like smash bros events system, and of course the Sick art style!

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack elevates the experience further, delivering energetic, melodic tracks that reinforce the sense of speed and excitement.
9 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The roster itself adds to this variety, with characters and vehicles that feel distinct enough to justify trying multiple options rather than sticking to a single favorite.
7 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The track editor is a fantastic addition, every bit as powerful as the F-Zero X Expansion Kit editor but a lot easier to use because you can use a mouse and keyboard instead of futzing around with a controller (but you can still use the editor with a controller if desired).
