Play MagazineTube Slider (insert sexual pun here), jumps directly to the head of the GameCube racing class, placing itself firmly in the pole position waiting for F-Zero to take it on. [Apr 2003, p.51]
-
The competitors in Tube Slider are brutal and extremely difficult to beat. Racing using these controls is nigh impossible at first and takes a while to get used to, resulting in an unappetizing first course of gameplay.

The graphics flow toward you with zero draw-in at a rock-solid 60 frames per second, creating a mesmerizing light show that can be captivating.
-
The game can't compete with the "F-Zero"'s greater sense of speed, balance and visual finesse, and with only one gameplay mode consisting of 10 tracks that can be whipped through, it lacks the depth to keep you coming back for more.
