I gave 4 out of 5 stars because I think this is a solid B+ game. It was a lot of fun when I was a kid and it was a breakthrough game for its time as it was one of the few games that used the polygon mechanism the Super Nintendo offered. Thoughts playing as an adult: It is still challenging. It gives me a very nostalgic feeling as I remember all the car characters and courses. Looking at this now in comparison to other SNES games, the graphics are very glitchy. And although the graphics are glitchy the game is still playable. With the hefty price tag of Mario Kart, this is a nice alternative. I paid roughly $7 for this but I probably wouldn't pay more than that. If you are a collector this is a definite must have for your collection. I did think that my 6 year old would enjoy this but she found it hard to play (likely due to the graphic differences from touchscreen games) All in all it is a solid game as long as the price tag stays low.Read full review

Stunt Race FX was the second game for the Super Nintendo to make use of the Super FX chip. The game was a first to feature fully polygonal environments and vehicles. The game offers 4 vehicles to choose from, F1 racer, 4wd monster truck, sport coupe and a motorcycle. They all have there performances and offer a good amount of variety to the game. Stunt Race is a decent game, with plenty of speed and a great level of control. You can even play against a friend in the battle trax mode, this allows for a very tiny viewing screen though and is not as enjoyable as the speed or stunt trax modes. Overall this game is definitely worth picking up if you are a snes racing fan.
I had this game back in the day. It's fun to play and it was impressive for a snes to pull this out back then. FX chip power!

I loved this game back in 94' when life was a lot simpler and 3d graphics were thought to be futuristic. I enjoyed this game hours on end and remember going to sleep at night still hearing those 16-bit sound effects as I drifted off. Fast forward 16 years and time has not been well for this game. My friend and I both felt nostalgia for this game and once I found it on ebay, were more than eager relive our past gaming experience. Once I received the game, we immediately popped the cartridge into my junior SNES and projected it onto my 100in projection screen. I don't know if the larger screen had anything to do with it, but we could only manage 2 races before feeling very dizzy from the poor polygonal shapes turning each and every other way. Even though I loved this game when I was a child, and am proud that I did own and play the hell out of it when the FX chip was cutting edge technology, I regretfully have to recommend that this game stay in the past.Read full review
Most people think of the Mario Kart series when racing games are discussed for any Nintendo system. For whatever reason,Stunt Race FX does not get the attention that it deserves. The game features the FX chip (the two extra pieces of cartridge sticking out on the bottom of the game. There were a few games that featured this chip-Star Fox was one of them. The chip's function was to enhance graphics and detail. We all remember what Star Fox looked like, right? The game's designs were fantastic-almost modern art-ish with the various shapes and colors. The same goes for Stunt Race FX. The only problem is that those who see this game, or any Super Nintendo game for that matter today, are not impressed with what they see because it is being compared to the PS3, XBOX 360, and Wii. So rather than being impressed by what they see, the viewers of Stunt Race FX of today see only a choppy, grainy race game with no substance. All I can say is to give it time. The game can be purchased very cheaply so there is not really a risk- I got mine for .99 + s/h. The controlls are very easy to learn and the split-screen, head to head 2 player mode is always a hit.Read full review
