F-Zero GX

Racing game from Nintendo. Played on Nintendo Gamecube.
Insanely fast and insanely hard futuristic racing game, and also insanely fun; this coming from someone who generally gets bored senseless by racers. The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the soundtrack really gets the adrenaline going. While it's hard and can be frustrating, it's never unfair, so while I myself lack skills I know it's my own fault, not the game's. The fact it runs perfectly smoothly despite having 30 racers going at any one time is testament to its quality. And with the several cups in the grand prix and decent story mode, there really isn't much more that could be asked of it. Pure, skillful, driving fun.
