What I do is buy the game and if I don't like it I just take it back to the shop.

Most shops these days have a good returns policy. Here in England, if you don't like a game, you can return it within 7-10 days of purchase, provided it isn't damaged of course.

Where I am, you can only return UNOPENED games. If you open it, you can only exchange it for the same title (to give you the chance to replace a defective copy.)

Yeah I agree, but I read the review, know IGN are F-zero lovers, agree for the most part in their ways of judging games (read their reviews alot) and so on. Even if the game is good, getting into it, some of the facts just put me off enough not to want it.

I'd say part of the problem here is that it's not F-Zero. People will complain that this game sucks, because it isn't up to standard with F-Zero. Not many games are. That doesn't necessarily make them bad.

The only true way of knowing whether you like a game is to play it yourself. Don't rely on reviews to make your mind up, play the game and see what it's like. Opinions on games can and do, vary imensly. One more time folks, try the game yourself! Heh he.

Yes, but Strafe is Slide Turns. They are used rarely, because they take a chunk out of your speed. It is still fun to play, despite what I say.

Yes, but IGN and Gamespot are deliberatly doing this so they could save Nintendos butt. Or to kill it at the same time. Either way, what they are doing is nothing short of pissing me off, and even makes me want to QUIT patronizing to them.

IGN and Gamespot are not doing this because they like or hate Nintendo that much. They just rate games, as fair as possible, Gamespot being the most 'severe' one.

Right now, all I think IGN and Gamespot is doing is passing hot air, because the game is just way too cool to receive suck a crappy rating. No matter WHO rates it. Appearently, these guys only play a demo version, and no matter how good the final version is, they slap bad ratings. So, don't take their advice on this one. I give a 9.1. Not Perfect, but just plain Superb.

Well, I still believe they rate games fair, but of course, there is always a chance you like a certain game better than they do. For example, I own Spider-Man for Gamecube, and I think it totally rocks, but they don't. I do see why they think it's not as good as I think it is, and that's partly because they aren't into Spidey...it's stuff like that plays a role in the ratings as well.

Even though its from the makers of ov FZ MV, I doubt that it'll handle like them. MV is 2d, whereas in a 3d game they would add a somewhat different idea of strafing and such just to make it look more realistic (i guess...)

By the way...aren't the makers of MV supposed to be the same group that made the snes F Zero and the other F Zero's?
