Plays like a direct descendant of "Ocarina of Time;" it's a fun, fast-paced adventure, packed to the brim with interesting puzzles and exciting action sequences. [Nov 2002, p.46]
The main downfall comes with the closing areas of the game; they seem rushed and are indicative of the sale of Rare to Microsoft, but don't let that prevent you from thoroughly enjoying one of the best videogames of this year.
As a Star Fox title, it is disappointing, as the flying sequences are little more than filler in between routine planetary adventures... [but it's] worth the price of admission alone just to see the lush environments and astounding special effects.
There are a couple of very ingenious puzzles, but these are few and far between. Often you find yourself wishing you had to do something more interesting, as the game gets repetitive.
This game has taken to the Legend of Zelda level. Haters gonna hate! So buy this game if you'rse a star fox fan. I just smile everytime I hear Slippy in this game. Don't be surprised that these character have some British, Scottish, and Caribbean accents, because this game is from RARE, and their actors are of British nationality.
Este juego me gusto bastante se parece mucho al zelda con toques de ratchet and clank, la historia esta normal sin destacarse mucho los personajes son geniales especialmente fox y cristal mis quejas serian 1 que el juego aveces es medio enredado y se nota las intenciones que hicieron los desarrolladores para que compres alguna guia, lo otro que al final se pone algo aburrido con los puzles pero en general esta bueno juego que pena que es el ultimo de rare echo para nintendo y que se ocupo a sus francquicias. recomendado si te gusta los juegos de rare y la saga star fox, PD las misiones de nave son horribles y obviamente los juegos anteriores son mejores pero esta ok
Instead of creating a new Star Fox game, Rare seemed content to try and ape Ocarina Of Time making for a pretty but generic third person platform adventure with half-hearted shooting sections tacked on. It's fine for what it is - more Ratchet & Clank than Lylat Wars - but it will disappoint fans of the original franchise.
This game is terrible, and I'm not saying this in the context of being a good Starfox game, but this game fails at being a good Zelda game/clone.
I have no idea how Rare could drop the ball on this one. The whole game consists of doing boring fetch quests but without the interesting scenarios or an absorbing story. To be honest Rare was never really good at storytelling, but the gameplay was usually top tier.
This game however feels like an early draft **** without the polish. The combat system is as inspired as a Track&Field level. They should have dropped the puzzles altogether since they don't require skill. None of it ever feels like an accomplishment, not even the boss fights.
Most of this stuff feels like blowing the game up so it 'feels' as if you spent a lot of time doing something. For example just getting from one planet to the other requires to pass a classic Starfox level. But the problem is after the third time it's clear that it's just the same level over and over again, it's stuff like this which makes the game tedious and grating.
The game is also riddled with terrible level design since it's not clear where to go next, there's a lot of backtracking or backtracking by mistake. The map feels totally useless in that regard, since it's always too small and there isn't a good zoom function or full-screen view. It's one of many frustrating details. Compared to Ocarina of Time it also feels very linear. You never have the urge to explore the worlds, since they are very small and lackluster in design.
