Star Fox Assault: Impressions...

Just quickly, I saw this over at IGN for those craving some Star Fox stuff.

IGN - http://cube.ign.com/articles/578/578821p1.html

I'm hoping to re-live the good ole Star Fox days myself with the trusty Arwing.

yea saw it, makes me a bit more excited about it

this does look good it will be a lot better than the one by rare, at the end of star fox adventures it was so rushed but i think this one will be big, it will be like the N64s game lylat wars which i do prefur

When's this out again? I think I bagsied the review about 2 years ago.

It's looking a lot better than it was was originally, and I was surprised they choose to let everyone see it in such an early state in the first place , but now it's verging on a must have for Gamecube owners. The space/flying sections look amazing and will probably stay that way if the gameplay is the same.

However, I'd like to see more effort put into ground based missions. The Landmaster/foot sections look a bit iffy, certainly not as impressive as the Lylat Wars' Macbeth level (with the train), and it almost looks like Rogue Leader's forced, unimaginative ground levels, and they weren't helped by awkward controls either. However, it's still a bit off and it looks pretty decent.

Or fooking amazing to me

I think it looks absolutley fantastic. I am a big fan of Lylat Wars and can't wait for this proper update to the series. SFA just didnt cut it for me. This is a must have! As much as Zelda and Mario for me.

As for that train level, i always remember shooting those railway keys and changing the track

Im a big fan of the Starfox series myself, this one looks fantastic! It looks like everything Dinosaur Planet wasn't, and more. Im just hoping it doesnt get delayed again

Never played Starfox game other than Adventures it looks pretty good multiplayer sounds fun aswell.

When's this out again? I think I bagsied the review about 2 years ago.

Surely that depends on how close to release date you can do the review... I'm pretty sure Street Racing Syndicate has been in your Freelance update for a good few months now.

Looks interesting

whys Falcos head so BIG :-/

It's an awesome game. Even the fairly rough code I played was very enjoyable...if I forget the fact that Karn kicked my arse

I just needed a lot of polishing up and refining, which it seems to be getting. From the rather shoddy IGN write up (whoops, there I go again!) it would seem that a lot of progress has been made. Can't wait, personally

Why does Link have a thin neck?

Hmm, yeah, might just get rid of that part of the sig actually and replace it with some sort of dedication to Gemma.

IMO, nintendo has done some pretty odd things with the once-great Starfoxy. adventures, anyone?

its strange how "innovation" becomes "overused", like how if nintnedo made a new game, people could gripe about how nothing was new in it, and if they added something else into the game, people would gripe about how it is nothing like the original. what an odd world.

hmmm yea
why didnt they just stick with lylat wars, i enjoyed that a lot.
are they sort of the same?(lylat an starfox)

I guess so, it's a StarFox game

Tempo, was that the really rough code that looked like it had N64 graphics?

Just found this Intro to Assualt, looks new to me, but my apologies if you've seen it. You can find it here
