F-Zero: GP Legend

F-Zero GP Legend is a racing game that plays similar to the original Super NES version of F-Zero and uses features from F-Zero X on the Nintendo 64. The game uses a new Mode 7 effect designed for the Game Boy Advance to allow the background layers to rotate and scale to display the course.

Players take control of their vehicles known as machines by pressing A to accelerate, B to use brakes, left and right to the corresponding direction on the D-pad, and the L and R shoulder buttons to drift to the corresponding direction. Players can attack other racers using Side attacks by pressing the L or R buttons twice depending on whether the opponent is on the left or right side. Players can perform a boost ability on the second lap of races by simultaneously pressing L and R buttons. Other methods of gaining a boost is by releasing and pressing the A button in quick succession and holding the A button for a specific amount of time during a race's countdown.

The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregator Metacritic. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell gave praise to the variety added to the game through the implementation of a number of game modes, in particular the Story mode for being challenging. GameSpot reviewer, Avery Score, complimented the new story mode in the game. Computer and Video Games staff found it entertaining that the story mode was restricted to one character and progressively unlocked more as one continued to play it.

Doug Buel from The Tampa Tribune stated F-Zero: GP Legend's effort to unite Nintendo's racing franchise with Japanese animation "works pretty well", but highlighted the game's inability to show all of the racers on the screen at once as its worst feature. Buel also thought controlling the vehicles had "complete consistency" when attempting to lean, slide, and power boost. com found the story mode incomprehensible. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three sevens and one eight for a total of 29 out of 40.
