Will there ever be a racing game as good as this?

>> No.1713740

>>1713726
I'm inclined to say yes- F-Zero X was as good or better. And if we're talking not-retro, F-Zero GX and Mariokart Double Dash!! are at least as good.

Fast and tight gameplay, tons of unlockable characters, upgradeable vehicles, nice track design with lots of branching paths, solid soundtrack (obviously). Just a generally good use of an IP that everyone hates, it felt more like star wars than the Phantom Menace did.

It's a solid 9/10 racer but I agree with the other anon that F-Zero X was a bit better, at least more fun for me.

That makes sense. The upgrade-ability is a really cool aspect of the game.

I'm drawing a blank because I1m drunk, but I feel like there is another retro racer that does that. Maybe I'm wrong, but it is a great feature.

Does anyone have a favorite pod? I 'main' Ebe Endecott

A downside of E1 Racer, as least this is how I felt when I played it, is that once you start unlocking good ships/upgrades, you can outspeed most of the competition without racing very clean laps. I was winning most races on my first or second try. Abyss is pretty much the only really challenging course, and that's all about not falling off in those two sections.

I would LOVE to see another racer game in this style that emphasizes thread-the-needle shortcuts, branching routes, and changing track hazards. I had a ton of fun playing this game but it didn't make me want to keep coming back to test my skills.

Back when I played this, I'm pretty sure I used Bullseye Navior almost exclusively.

I was lucky this game was so great, I'm glad I impulse bought it during the time Episode 1 was airing in theaters. The pod racing part was the best thing about that movie.
A shame I traded it for a copy of Star Fox 64 once.

When it comes to racing games though, I still like DKR and F-Zero X better.

Not a big fan of futuristic racing games, so I'll go with Gran Turismo 2 for the title of best racing game.

>only have n64 controllers with worn out analog sticks
>never realize that the game doesn't work well with them
>watch a video of the game a few weeks ago
>realize I've beaten the game three times with only half of the steering ability you're supposed to have

Now I know why the game always felt like such a pain in the ass to play.
