There is one chink in the game's FPS armor. If you are in the middle or behind the pack and a bunch of effects-heavy stuff happens (multiple crashes, multiple boosts, and/or lots of grabbing orbs) frame rate can plumet to the teens. Usually brief but it is one jarring blemish on the otherwise great performance. Thankfully, it's a pretty rare occurrence that only happens on a handful of maps that make such chaotic crowds possible.
Otherwise, it's an absolutely gorgeous game. I would love to see these guys as the core of a larger team and work on either F-Zero or a retail entry to the FAST IP with more content and flavor.
