At first I was enjoying myself, the graphics where amazing and the puzzles seemed simple but okay. I'm starting to realise though why it got such low marks, it stupidly linear, the majority of puzzels are pathetically simliar and extremely simple. It's like Zelda for retards...not just your normal retard though these would have to be super, super retards. Sometimes i've got stuck because I find myself looking into the puzzle to much when actual fact I should be looking for a stupid symbol on the wall, absoloute ar$e.
I games where rated on graphics then this would be the best game of the year, unfortunatly they're not and I agree with Digitiser this deserves 2/10, not because it's THAT bad, it's bad but not THAT bad but because Rare should have done so much better, they've proved they can before so what in Gods name possessed them when they where making this steaming pile of toss I realy don't know.
Oh and this is coming from someone who loved DK64 and thinks Banjo Tooie is one of the best games ever.
I'll play the game to the end just because, but it'll be going back as soon as I finish it.
lots to do, lots of things to explore, its a great game to play and it looks amazing!
the controls are brilliant too, so easy to pick up!
or even play it in store.
there must be a smaller, less main stream games shop near you, ask if you can have a go, then if you like it thats great
I probably won't get this though.
Linearity is a fatal flaw, unless the game actualy involves me in other ways - ie narrative, such as ED or Resident Evil.

star fox isnt linear as such, it has missions to follow but so do most games!
if this is linear then all games are!

The style? oh by that you mean Zelda for retards.
but if you want to

To me that's exactly what starfox is, amazing graphics, nice sound but a total lack of gameplay.
At this rate i'll of completed it by Monday, me thinks a trade in for Mario Party 4 is in order. Stupid Fox game, it should be fun but it's not.
Untill I got to the Walled City that is, that level is, for want of a more intelligent description, sh*te.
One thing though, the Test 3 - The Test Of Fear is pretty darn cool.
