Since I didn't own any consoles, I only briefly played F-Zero GX on the GameCube, but I enjoyed it all the same. But I did own Star Wars Episode I Racer on the PC - a decent enough substitute! Redout is an excellent tribute to the hyper-speedy racers of yesteryear. The courses are very challenging, and it definitely took me a few attempts to win any given event. But I call that a positive (SW: Ep I Racer was still enjoyable, but rather too easy except for one of the last tracks). Whilst you might not get much personality from it (the only character really is the very dry-sounding female announcer), it's not a big problem for me as the gameplay is top-notch. As others have mentioned, it runs incredibly smoothly, even on my computer which is getting on a bit. The biggest plus though is the value for money - even at £30 you are getting every single DLC. And if you got it half price this weekend like me, you're laughing! My one negative mark (which doesn't quite stop me from still giving it 5 stars) is that from what I can see, you don't get the soundtrack as part of the bundle (which you do get as DLC on the Steam version and you need the full game to get it as well). So quick question to GoG and 34 BigThings: will this be added in future? But in summary: this is one of the best racing games I've played ever, and I'm sure to get many more hours of enjoyment, exhilarating racing and crashing into the side barriers from Redout!
