“F-Zero” is an awesome game, all around. Unlike most calc games, you can play F-Zero for hours to beat the game. And even after you beat it, you can keep trying to set a faster high score.

The graphics are really nice - the best when it comes to calculator games. “F-Zero” is one of the few calc games that has 3D graphics, and the only game so far that uses “mode7”. Good graphics, good gameplay. I don't think it gets any better than this. Definitely download this game.

The control is good, but it takes a while to get used to. You are traveling so fast, and the turns come up almost before you have a chance to react. When you first start playing the game, you will find yourself using the brakes and releasing the gas very often. But once you get used to it you wont have to use the brakes, even for the sharp turns.

Much of the game may be confusing at first if you are new to the “F-Zero” series, but if you have played any “F-Zero” game before, you'll know exactly what to do. Even if you don't know what you're doing you can pick the game up very quickly.

“F-ZERO” is a very good game considering that it's a first release. it is similar to the original as far as Gameplay goes, but combines elements (like boosting) from later titles (like “Grand Prix Legends”)

Graphics: Well, I saw the “Mode7” engine last year, and I couldn't wait for this game to get out of beta. As for an explanation, “Mode7” is a hardware graphics mode for the SNES but, it's not in 3D. All “Mode7” does is make a top-down rotatable playfield (ex. “Contra III”). Now prespectivised Mode7 is what makes the 3D effects. It basically Scales individual lines of the “Mode7” effect to create a pseudo-3D effect. This game does that at 1/2 of the 89's resolution on high res mode. The graphics are pretty good, my only complaint would be that the recharge strips are about one shade too light so they are a little too hard to see.

Controls: This game has very instinctual and pretty fluid controls. But, the vehicle slows down too fast when you let off the gas. Other that that, the controls are pretty good. [2nd] is accelerate. [Diamond] is brake and [Shift] is boost.

Memory: Ouch! 240k. But it IS a pretty complex game. So it is justified.
