This seems about right. Wipeout is a better overall series, but F-Zero GX is probably the best racing game I've ever played.WipEout is a better franchise than F-Zero and it's not even close.
HOWEVER
F-Zero GX is perfect. It's the only arcade racer I would ever put above WipEout HD/Fury for any reason.
Wipeout is a bit like Crash Bandicoot and CTR in that they're pretty average but because PlayStation only gamers can't play FZero, Mario or Mario Kart they're suddenly amazing and completely over rated.
I would agree. Also original snes one was ahead of its time.
Wipeout is a far more consistent series than F-Zero. You could make the case that any of the last 5(!) WipEout games is the best in the series on its own merits (although HD/Fury claims the content crown with ease).

WipeOut has excellent gameplay. Just because it doesn't fit your style or tastes it doesn't mean it's is bad. I find it much more difficult to master than any fzero, but seeing high level players is a joy.All the Wipeout games have horrible floaty driving controls.
It loses by default for anyone that values, you know, good gameplay in their video games.
Wipeout is cool, though. It was a worthy rival with a different feel and different strengths, and became a dependable name of quality and polish with every generation. If F-Zero is Street Fighter, Wipeout is Virtua Fighter.
F-Zero has the music and personality.
WipeOut. F-Zero perfected.
Nothing like some good old fashioned question begging.All the Wipeout games have horrible floaty driving controls.

Actually F-Zero GX is F-Zero perfected. Wipeout's still playing catchup.
Wipeout brought British Garage and Techno to the states. I love the F-Zero soundtrack dearly, but Wipeout will always be more important simply for introducing me to Prodigy.
