F-Zero GX-AX

[NoFace]

How many chapters are there?

I'm stuck on the third one, in that 12 person Casino race. Best I've done is sixth place but at least it seems doable... the amount of cursing that took place trying to beat Goroh was a lot (there was even more cursing when I finally beat him, that bastard ).

I'm wondering if it's worth a drive from Connecticut to New Jersey to play the game in the arcades (and unlock the AX stuff in GX). How far from NYC is this arcade you keep mentioning?

hmmmm id say like 20 - 30 minutes from NYC

That's not too bad. One of these weekends I'll have to make the trek then, provided no AX machines rear their head anywhere in CT throughout September. Thanks for the info Shin.

I unlocked the diamond cup (really cool levels) and have made it to Mission 8. What a pain in the ass. I've gotten so close to the end and then BAM. Hit a wall, bounce off, hit it again and I'm dead. It's a hard game but it rewards your skill and persistance. Quality game.

[Tragic]

Yeah, I have to get myself out to Fun and Games too..

Oh, and just a heads up, 8 on the Break in Dunellen, NJ is trying to get a F-Zero machine but having trouble doing so. I wouldn't say it's definitly not gonna happen though considering they struggled getting a Beatmania IIDX machine but eventually pulled through.

I'll keep you guys posted to whether they actually get one or not.

So far, I've beaten the first 4 story mode stages in Normal and Hard modes, as well as Ruby in expert. I haven't had much time to play this weekend, unfortunately. I stayed with Ruby cup until I beat it on Expert, now I'm moving on to the next one. Getting good at killing helps, since it affects the scoreboard radically. Remember, you don't need to constantly get 1st place to win, you just need to score higher than anybody else.

As for the 4th story chapter, killing people raises your energy, so just zoom, spin into people, hit them from the sides, etc. Kill, kill, kill, then the leader will slow down to you, so kill him, too. That's about it.

For some reason its in the Story mode where you have to defeat the gang of Wild Boar vehicles in a highway chase. I sounds awesome but why that isn't in the actual Big Blue stage is odd.

You can unlock the big blue music for the big blue stage once you beat the 4 cups on master. It costs more than the ax tracks though.

Awesome.

[Bonestorm]

Awesome.

I forgot to mention that after you unlock it, you need to press Z at the track selection screen when you highlight big blue tracks in order to select which version song u want.
