Why does everyone seem to hate this game? I loved it as a kid and I've been playing it again lately and it's still just as fun as ever. Sure it's not perfect, the field of view is small, the graphics are rough, the racing is kinda slow and it's no where near as good as F-Zero and Super Mario Kart but I still love it. Anyone else a fan?

Framerate.

Yeah I never noticed as a teen. Played it again more recently and couldn't deal with it.

I guess I'm just one of those people who isn't bothered by a low framerate. The game has so much charm that any flaws are easily ignorable. It's on par with Uniracers in my mind.

You can mod the frame rate to 60FPS and it's a really good game

This, not a fan of the phrase "aged badly" but any old game with sub 30 frame rate is tough to go back to.

When it was new I played the shit out of it, unlocked most if not everything I think.

Explain plz

By overclocking the super Fx chip in an emulator or modding the cartridge the game runs much smoother, the same can also be done with Star Fox.

Sure doesn't look 60FPS or even 30 to me.

This is overclocked at 50 mhz.

It is a nice game, bar the frame rate. Uni(racers/rally) is great - and definitely no framerate issues there.

It is, I've played it it's much better, this is a better example >>3091780

That's still a far cry from 60/30FPS, I'm sorry. It's more akin to Zelda 64.

I love this game because it's the best donor cart for starfox 2 repos.

Except this runs on Fx1 and you need Fx2 for StarFox 2.
