I'm another one who don't like so much the classic F-ZERO titles gameplay (SNES & GBA).
I just finished the very first championship, I still have to get the right feeling with the whole environment.
It is funny to note that I originally hated also F-Zero GX, I bought it and then get frustrated quite fast so I gave it to a friend (but I was in the mood of throwing it from the window).
Some times later I realized that it was impossible that I was the only person in the world who didn't like it, so I decided to give it another chance, tried some different vehicles to find the best for my style and then (finally!!!) I fell in love.
Too bad I stopped playing just before unlocking AX tracks...
Anyway I'm gald to hear someone else talking about the difficulty of the story mode; until now, I found just a friend of mine sharing this feeling.
