Starfox Command

Anyone had a bang at it? Can it rival the N64 version?

Gamespot have given it a

decent score of 7.5[/URL]

I've heard what lets it down is its short length, but I personally never find this to be an issue with StarFox games, I find them extremely replayable with all the multiple routes you can take and the arcade nature of the game. I must have completed Lylat Wars on the N64 by the third day after I had bought it, but I carried on playing it over and over again for years!.

I've seen StarFox command in action and it looks nigh on identical to Lylat Wars (well to me anyway) and that can only be a good thing, I only worry about a possibly ****ed up control system incorporating the stylus for the stylus sake...

hopefully it is good. lylat wars was my first n64 game. great one too. bit too easy though

ign gave it 8/10

I would say it would be very good at least they have they have got rid of the on foot sections.

Mr E

Its good once you get used to the controls (playing with the stylus is weird at first). Good game......

Very cool game thus far. Only as far as the first boss which is only about 3 missions into the game.

Took some time tho, using the stylus for full control is weird initially but you get used to it.
Loops and U-turns are done by pushing the appropriate button on the touchscreen while barrell rolls are done by moving the stylus L->R or vice versa.

The strategy part is nice. Does take a bit of thinking tho. Bascially you have your mothership which needs to be protected at all costs.

You have x amount of turns to take out all the enemys on the map. When you engage the enemy, the mode switches to the flight mode and you get to destroy whatever amount of enemys you need and collect their cores.

The stylus is used to draw your waypoints and line of travel on the map but it only goes a certain distance. Hence the thinking part.

One mission involved getting missiles for your mothership so it can help shoot down enemy ships. I was a tad simple with my flight plans for my ship and died multiple times before realising I could do an arched path and get two missiles with the one flight plan.

I never had Starfox before this but I am really enjoying it thus far. The voices, the action, the strategy part all come together well.

I'll try test the MP later via DS2DS2 and one game cart. WiFi could have to wait till later again.

9/10 [cos it's cool and it was cheaper than any of the other new games ]

I've been playing this since Monday. At first I thought it was really naff but once you get used to the controls it picks up. The game isn't on rails like Starfox 64; it simply takes the All-Range mode from that game and meshes in an Advance Wars-type interface for battles.

The sound is great. Thought it would be tough to accept "Lylat" voice after the N64 game but actually does the job well once you get used to it. You can even record your voice into the microphone and the characters will riff off your tonality, which is a nice little addition.

Haven't finished the game, nor have I tried online, though I'm enjoying the story so far. I'd give it an 8, nothing more, nothing less. Now, here's hoping Nintendo brings it back to its pseudo-arcadey roots for the next installment.

It's great online, pure dogfighting, but in Battle Royale (where you earn your stripes) if one person disconnects, the whole game quits.

The SP itself is very short. Was very surprised actually that I had finished it but on replaying it gives different choices I believe.

Dogfighting is solid bar the time limit. Wish it had none.

lylat wars was very very short as well.
