Been playing a lot of F-Zero GX since its release a week ago and I am totally loving this game. The environments are unbelievably huge, the courses are astonishingly gorgeous, and the game is lightning fast. Contrary to what I've read around the net, the game is easy to pick up and have fun with: I took it over to my nieces' house this weekend for a family clambake and we all had a lot of fun with it. The game's difficultly shows itself as you progress through its many layers, so unlocking everything in the game becomes a formidable task. That's ok with me, because that means I'll be coming back to it for quite some time.
Chalk up another triple AAA title for Nintendo, developed by Sega.
