Game works but not orgional box.
I'v been a fan of F-Zero since the SNES game & having just got a Wii I had 2 get this game. The CD is in great shape & it had all the included books. I dont think it is in the original case but I could be wrong because I have never bought a GameCube game brand new.

Fantastic racing
My favorite racing games are all arcade-style ones. Forget realistic racing on a boring oval track - I can't get enough of ramping over buildings, hurling banana peels at passing go-karts, or rounding curves at over 300 MPH.
So 4 me, F-Zero GX certainly doesn't disappoint. It keeps you enthralled with an incredible sense of speed at all times, even pulling a near-constant 60 FPS when there are 30 (!) racers on screen at once. The pounding electronica soundtrack is excellent & proves yet again that Sega has the best sound team in the industry, hands down (and that's not all - each of the characters has their own special 'profile song' ranging from alternative rock 2 death metal, pop-punk 2 hip-hop & even a chiptune!) Graphics are crisp & clean, which is good since you'll need the good visibility while passing enemies on the narrow stretches. Controls are nicely responsive (and configurable!), load times are few & brief, & there's a wide range of modes & unlockables 2 keep players interested.
And then there's the difficulty. This game is TOUGH AS NAILS. It requires incredible patience 2 beat everything on even the 'hard' difficulty settings, let alone 'master'. Once in a while a game comes along that is so punishingly hard, people are justified in bragging about beating it on the most challenging level. This is one of those games.
By far I had the most fun playing this with friends. Like most GC games it supports up 2 four players at once. It's a lot of fun trying 2 elbow your buddies off the track at high speed. (One nice change from F-Zero X was the removal of the 'slot machine' dead players could play that would screw over the remaining racers - thank God!)
The game isn't totally flawless (what is?) - one irritant is that the cars aren't well-balanced & most players will simply pick the heavier machines time after time. The standard machines can be pretty lackluster anyway & often a custom machine will beat all - disappointing 4 fans of the F-Zero characters (Captain Falcon etc.) Far more disappointing is that unlocking all the secret stuff takes either incredible skill or access 2 a dwindling number of F-Zero AX arcade machines, so most players likely won't get 2 sample everything the game has 2 offer. Finally, it would be nice 2 have more tracks available (even if it meant fewer cars), since players will exhaust all the available ones within a few gaming sessions with friends.
Those problems aside, the game is a blast 2 play & provides a tough challenge 4 even the most hardcore gamer. At less than $10 most everywhere, this is one game all Gamecube racing fans should own.

Sweet
Instant classic..still waiting 4 the Wii version! I like this one better than FZ X..mainly cause the graphics were cool looking. X had easier tracks but this one has a lot of tuffer one that you can fall from. Buy it

So fun!
I just realized the other day that there was a gamecube version of F-Zero. I used 2 play the N64 version all the time & I loved that game so when I noticed the GC version I had 2 get it. I'm not disappointed, it's a fun game, & the tracks are even harder than the N64 version. Good luck passing all the races!
F-Zero GX gives you the chance 2 hurtle through space as one of the best pilots in the galaxy!
