CGR Undertow - F-ZERO X for Nintendo 64 Video Game Review

- Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of F-Zero X from Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. The second release in the F-Zero series, F-Zero X is a racing game set hundreds of years in the future, a time when motor sports have lost the motor. These vehicles hover above a dangerous racetrack, blasting into turns and screaming down straightaways at speeds in excess of 1,000 km/h. F-Zero games have never been about car models or simulation - this is a visceral arcade racing game that's all about memorization and reflexes. This video review features video gameplay footage of F-Zero X for the Nintendo 64 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.
Nice review, Derek, keep doing what you're doing.
I love this game, I wish the series kept going after GX. I tried some other "similar" games, like Wipeout, but it wasn't the same. I like the way the vehicles in Wipeout handle, even better then F-zero, but they are so slow! I won so easily, and I could blink!
It isn't an edge of your set video game if you can blink and not die.
11 years wihout a new f-zero.... nintendo please.. :(
It's been 4 years. Too bad lol.
15 Years and Nothing New... At least Captain Falcon Still Has His Fighting Career...
@@wearevenomyouaredinner433 Captain Falcon belongs in the Blue Falcon going faster than the speed of sound. Not on cartoonish 2D fighting stages trading blows with Kirby and Mario. I would rather Nintendo continued the F-Zero franchise than the smash brothers one.
Hard to believe you didn't mention the soundtrack!
Especially considering he's a huge metalhead!
This was seriously the first game I bought on the Wii's VC, and I don't regret it one bit NOW. I did before, because I sucked at it, but now, it's my favorite racer.
Hey great job on This Review! F-Zero X Is One of my favorite Nintendo 64 Games!
This is my favorite racing game of all time.
...I think I'm in love with f zero.
"The transition to 3D was as beneficial to F-Zero as it was to any other game series"
One word: Sonic.
Two words: Sonic and Castlevania ;)
***** thats three
my favorite in the series..besides the excellent gameplay, the music was BEAST!
F Zero X is better than every single Mario Kart game. Why Nintendo neglects their best franchises I will never know.
Eternal Light For the most part. Yes, it clobbers almost all the Mario Kart games, but to me, the only Mario Kart game that F-Zero X couldn't beat is Mario Kart 64.
Eternal Light i fucking agree bro so much more of a thrill ride with f-zero it's so satisfying when you win on this game.
+Eternal Light nah you're talking shit those games were average at best nerd lol, like the star fox serie, they never made a great one, dead series are dead...you mad?
No. Fzero would be better if it had Mario Karts item system...theres a sense of reward in mk.
AnnoyingReply I couldn't disagree with you more. F Zero is great because it focuses on *racing* not throwing randomized items at people. Keep that nonsense in Mario Kart where it belongs.
I just bought this for my n64.
You won't be disappointed! :)
F Zero X is one of my favourite racing games to this date. 9.5 X’s out of 10 X’s. 👍🏼 🏎
This review...had so much passion. ;w;
F-Zero on SNES, N64, and Gamecube are all AWESOME!
Awesome Description for an Awesome Game!
Watching this made me jump on ebay and grab a copy. Found a complete one for less than four bucks. awesome.
Super Smash Bros. BRAWL was the game that made me want to get F-Zero for the Super Nintendo and I thought it was a great game. But, THIS is the game that made my balls explode and made me into the F-Zero fanboy I am today.
One of the most kick ass games i have ever played.
I wish I had had this game back in the day. I would have had a better childhood, I think.
finally a review of a hard game that doenst complain about it and accepts the challange
Best racing game on the N64, hands down!
This is a very underrated game that's still quite playable today. Thank God it's available for the Wii Virtual Console although sadly that version lacks rumble support.
I love F-Zero. I own both F-Zero on the SNES and F-Zero GX for the Gamecube, but I've only ever played this one on an emulator. Regardless, this is a flawless series as far as I'm concerned.
and it was one of the release day games, and how good it was through all of the snes, now that is a achievement
Fingers crossed for a new F-zero game in 3D. No back pedalling back to 2-D, just actual improvement.
@Designandrew I sincerely thank you, I completely agree.
Imma get this for the virtual console. We must have this on the Wii U.
Your wish has been granted by the nintengods
Love that Devil's Forest theme.
Nice work Dereck. You were my favourite CGR game reviewer. 👍🏼
the only good one in that dump other than mark
Oh my god, I loved this review, it rocked! Your comments are awesome :)
this game is like if you mixed pole position and galaga, multiplied that a thousand fold, and put it on steroids. this is one awesome game.
If you hold the joystick down while on the receiving end of a submission hold, the other wrestler won't let go. That would explain AKI Man pummeling Rick Rude over and over again. Rick Rude appears in the game in a managerial role and can be controlled by the player with the third or fourth controller. But him tapping out is probably faulty memory unless they used a GameShark to make him a playable character. Managers don't tap out.
That is unless Dark AKI Man 2 really _did_ assume control of the game.
Arcade DNA? Nice Derek, real nice! Your right for calling it under appreciated because I never knew a F-Zero game came out on the N64 (I knew it came out on the Gamecube). SHIT games like this make me wish I got a N64 back in the day, and I was pretty much a Sega fanboy back then so I never paid attention in getting one.
@h20DDs Project Cafe is said to have HD versions of these games on its virtual console.
I'm just getting into this game. It's 2015. I'm now 31. But this, as the kids say these days, is FUCKING SICK.
man! it's so fast, in the tunnels it looks like they're driving backwards!
he forgot to mention the awesome rocking soundtrack
The song from Devil's Forest is bad ass!!!!
I miss the old times...
My dear review person... If you have yet to defeat the brutal stage 3 in Story mode... You have no idea what hell awaits you after. And even if you do witness it. I guarantee you, you will lift your Gamecube controller in the air, fall to your knees with tears in your eyes and say: "I BEAT IT!" Because that is what I say to my F-Zero GX... Btw great review sir :)
Very well crafted review :3
@MalamiteLtd BTW, they already did a GX review.
Flying off a race track at thousands of MPH and landing to your horrifying death in a ball of atomic fire that rips your skin off with the power of a thousand suns and exploding your bones into ashy shards is a hell of way to "Retire".
I love this game!
awesome review
you never mentioned the Expansion Kit that came out in Japan in 2000 for the N64DD(Disc Drive).
it had a new soundtrack and a track editor
@zoltanben90 LOL, you're right! Thanks for telling me. Gonna watch it right now.
Downloading on WiiU now.
LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!
Guys, I know he reviewed it a while ago and now I saw this one is a video response to the GX one, I just couldn't remember, that's all. I've got over 10 responses of you guys telling me about that. :P
Thumbs up so everyone can see and sorry for any inconvenience.
This game is so sick. I picked it up at a local game store for 5 bucks. Wiiiinskis.
This is my fav. of all the F-ZERO games released for home consoles(yes there is an arcade version), the SNES ver. never really grabbed my attention, and the GameCube F-ZERO GX was just too F*cking hard, and give me nightmares trying to beat it, and still have not too this day(bought it on release day), and having found this one used at a local game store for $4 was totally awesome. This versions Kicks ASS!!!
one thing that bugs me about this review is the lack of on screen destruction, most 30 vehicle races i was in would normaly end with maybe 15 vehicles still alive tops cos i keep destorying them all :L another awesome aspect of this game
incredible!!
I ask Google to define words for me when I watch your reviews.
Wasn't there a F-Zero GX and there was a hidden rom of ZX on it that you can get now for flash carts?
@FreedomOstrich No he's not, they're vastly different games. F-zero(snes 1990) played a bit like mariokart on steroids, while the first wipeout (1995) had real hovering physics. 3 years later came f-zero x
Pretty good review.
I LOVE F-ZERO X! IT’S MY FIRST REVIEW TOO!
@GamerupdateMH Yes, someone just said that a while ago. Thanks though, mate.
Biorex was my favorite!
@joaobisgo Guys, search Undertow's channel, Derek has already reviewed GX, and what an awesome review by the way!
This should be the game that shows the power of the n64
How have they not made an F-Zero X for the Wii?
@Newbpwn3r180 True, but it would be nice that one day we can have an F-zero game that allows you to race 100 racers at once that is also in HD and will not drop below 60 fps. If Nintendo can make something like this for N64, think of what they'll make for Wii 2 or 3DS.
I wonder what F-zero would look like if there was a version made for Xbox 360 or PS3. Not that that would ever happen, but if the Wii was as powerful as those platforms and Nintendo did not have such an overfocus on casual games, would the next game display 100 racers onscreen at once and be as colorful as Hydro Thunder Hurricane?
what about the need to attack rivals on harder difficulties and the multi-player track generator that gives random tracks forever?!! One of my favourites and most played ever, black bull FTW
@Morahman7vnNo2 oh ya they had the n64 station in the play place huh? those were awesome
@MrFunmike1987 The Devils Forest Course yeah that levels music was bad ass... Great soundtrack all around top 10 on 64.
@gladiols Yes yes, someone just said that a while ago here. Thanks though. XD
And I even remembered I had already watched the GX review! Memory problems LOL
greatest racing game I ever played. period.
The games graphics had to be toned down in order to keep the game running at 60 fps
@MontHenryKnitly i know and its awsome!
@joaobisgo
This is a video response to F-ZERO GX
i fucking love this game got it on the virtual console
@joaobisgo he has already made, some months ago
Personally I prefer Wipeout HD over F-Zero, it's more challenging, but they're both good.
@joaobisgo Besides, they already did a GX review.
one of the later stages is shaped like a hand
how about some Cruisin' USA reviews?
wish there was a F-Zero X2.
The best of the best, this game is. "Wow, you're way out in front!"
if derek is in college, i really wonder how reviewed and technical his papers sound like.
what was "improper" about gx?
F-Zero was the shit! I wish they would make this for Ps4 when it comes out.
@ookthomas
Cuz it is.
I never had the pleasure of playing this game. I had it's wannabe version "Aero Gauge"...which was pretty cool in it's own right.
On the Wii U.
@MalamiteLtd But that's excusable, cause GX is FRIGGIN' HARD! XD
Give me more twitchy based games! I like these types! Review more of them! I gotta get this game then!
I bought this game at the flea market last year for like 5 bucks, can't get past the second circuit >
if this one named f zero X and the next one named GX, how the next one will be named ?
@Bakemon13 What aces?
a classic I hope someone can design if for android
One of your better reviews. Redeemed after the horrible Lion King review.
@mariopianofreak That's the thing with people who number the points they want to make: 1. it's annoying as hell and 2. after the second point they usually don't know what to say.
But in all seriousness, I envy your commitment for a meme as silly as this one. Good for you.
@JackDaScarecrow Driving Through on Max is another good song.
It's true.
best racing game ever :)
F-Zero X is the hardest one in the series.
