Star Fox Adventures

The Good
From it's lush colourful worlds, to it's fun and perplexing puzzles it is one fun game.
There are lots of things to do, lots of worlds to explore, puzzles to solve and tons of hidden items and upgrades!
The worlds are large, the bad guys are everywhere and it's a cute enough game to appeal to anyone from 10 and up.
Even when you beat the game, it is so large that you forget how you beat it and that makes for a fun replay value.
While not exactly "cheating", a great feature of this game is asking you pal "Slippy" for help. Because of the size of the worlds and the complexity of your tasks, it is easy to forget what you need to do or go. He'll remind you what you need to do. This is great for younger players who may get confused and disoriented, and us OLDER players who are senile!! LOL

The Bad
One aspect that was very boring was buying things at the stores. You had to buy everything individually. Even if you were planning on buying, say, 5 fuel cells, you have to buy them all one at a time. This means listening to the shop keeper over and over...."You pay,,,,this much!", "OK, I'll sell it to you!"..... What they should have done is allow for multiple purchase. "How many?" etc. This aspect of the game really slows it down and is irritating.
Also, the map system is ok, (PDA tool) but the maps could have been just a bit more detailed. After a while you don't really use them, as the lack of detail and small size makes them marginally useful. They'll give you a general idea of where you are, but only enough to allow you to orient yourself if you a bit lost.

The Bottom Line
This game has something for everyone. Shoot 'em up, space craft flying/shooting, one on one fighting, lots of puzzle solving, and it's all wrapped up in a nice colourful package. It's not so violent as to be a major concern to parents, but not so wimpy it's a dull snooze fest. No blood or gore, just smacking or shooting with a staff.
It's fun, it's engaging and has a great story. Isn't that what you want in a game, afterall?

The Good
In case you're all wondering, SFA is an RPG similar to the 3D Zelda games. I'm gonna let y'all know how good this game is now.

Graphics (10/10):

Whoever did the graphics in SFA deserves to be rich. The graphics are the most impressive I've seen in a Zelda-like RPG. The sky effects are impressive, and the day and night times look quite realistic. And I like the way they make the hair on Fox look so real. Check out the way some of the environment and enemies look, these to me just show one what our 'Cubes can do.

Music/Sound/Voices (9/10):

Some of the music featured in Star Fox Adventures is pretty neat, especially the Arwing music and the racing music. Most of the voices in this game are nothing to complain about. I like Fox's voice and General Scales' voice and the WarpStone has a nice Scottish accent.

Gameplay/Control (10/10):

If you've played Ocarina of Time, you pretty much know already what the gameplay and control is like. This stuff is very similar to OoT except there are a couple of changes, you open up the inventory with the C Stick and you attack with A and put the staff away with B and the rolling is now done with X and you can assign an item or an upgrade to Y. I like the control, and fans of Star Fox, Zelda and RPGs should too. And the gameplay is awesome.

Oh, and I should mention that the Arwing missions are pretty fun too. You're flying around in the Arwing to reach a certain part of the planet while flying through gold rings to open the forcefield.

Replay Value (9/10):

This game has a lot of replay value in it. I never got bored with this game for months. Actually, there's not that much in it, but it's still good nonetheless. I could go back and find the cheat tokens after I beat the game the first time and that's about it. But this game is so much fun that you could actually start a new game and play again.

The Bad
Arwing missions are sparse, and Tricky's constant "Ah, come on Fox! I'm hungry!" and "Where are we going?" can get moderately annoying after some time.

The Bottom Line
Overall: 10/10

I highly recommend this to Nintendo/Star Fox fan's everywhere. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

The Good
I got this game thinking that this was gonna be another Rareware game with cute character and trees having eyes. But I was wrong. I got Zelda and Banjo-kazooie into one which is great because I love Banjo and I absolutely love Zelda. Its got the feel like Zelda and the characters like Banjo. Good gameplay, GREAT graphics, good sound. You control Fox Mcloud who gets hints from Slippy, maps from Peppy and totals from general Pepper

The Bad
Nothing except if you save at the final boss fight, you are stuck there forever.

The Bottom Line
Do you love Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie and Lylat Wars then get this. All three into one.
