Here you can write your own views of StarFox Adventures. In my opinion it is a good game. The graphics are good excpecialy Fox's fur. The music is alot like Jet Force Gemini music and it is very atmospheric. The only bad thing I have to say about this game it is too easy and does not last long. I also like Tricky because he's like a pet and you have to feed him with GrubTubs also it's fun playing ball with him. You will also notice that there is a framerate issue in certain areas this is probably where the game loads. The bosses are huge and are very enjoyable to fight.

Please write your own comments and please write if you dissagree with what I said above.

As I've said before, the graphics are exceptional.

And again, yes it's extremely linear, and it's very easy BUT I did enjoy playing through it in the end, it was quite fun.

Only took 15 and a half hours though.

And theres no secrets, no bonuses, nothing to find etc.

A mate of mine got it on Friday. He said it's really good and fun! And the graphics are really nice! Gonna nab it off him after he's completed it and make my own judgement!

Good:

- The graphics are fantasticly detailed, the best on GameCube.
- The sound's great too, and incorporated seamlessly.
- It'll take you ages (I'm 39% through with 10:10 hours on the clock).
- The combat system and puzzles are great fun, if a little simple.
- Flying levels are quick, fast paced, and great.
- The plot's nicely put together, and makes the game fiendishly addictive.

Bad:

- It's fairly linear, with usually just the one way to do puzzles.
- If you're thorough, you'll get all the secrets first time through.
- For a five year project, you'd expect so much more.

- It's quite easy:
-- The combat system and puzzles could be more challenging.
-- If you're stuck, you can be told what to do, via Slippy's help system.

OVERALL: 8.8/10

Bollards. Pikmin took me longer.

You must be crap :D

At 10:10 hours on the clock I was 70% of the way there!

The game smells of wear, nuff said!!

Admitedly on occasions it is fairly enjoying but the gameplay is too patronising and repetetive to make it anyhting but mediocre.

Anyone know what you do with the cheat tokens?

It says take them to the maze I do that, then what?

Well I'm a thorough player you see. I test things out, I experiment, I don't call Slippy, I mess around. It's all part of a good adventure game you see.

There's nothing to mess around with, that's another thing that gets me about the game. The worlds might be beautiful but there's next to no real interaction with them other than the set tasks.

What? Combat system great you say? You just hammer A until all the baddies are gone. They attck you one-at-a-time 4 god's sake! The only good thing about the combat is that it looks pretty (like the rest of the game I might add)

I haven't played it for long (too much History coursework), but so far it's great fun. Also very easy, and I'm worried it might be very short - I'm at 14% after having played for 2 hours (on clock).
