"Starfox: Assault... a let down?"

Seems like the crew at IGN.com really aren't taking to the game. Which is a massive shame as I was really looking forward to it:

I hope they're wrong.

Lylat Wars was probably the most played N64 game I had.

I played that to death, several times, with all different routes.

Killing the Starwolf team was excellent.

How I love arcadey games.

Yes for 10 quid it was suitable for a days play.

Above that it was awful. A real dreamcast-like dud.

because the levels were instantly replayable.

But brilliant.

Utterly Brilliant.

Heh. Lylat wars.

As shallow as they come.

I mean, think about it - tanks and planes is all you need, maybe a hovercraft as well or something, but basically just have hundreds of levels set in loads of different situations, with different objectives.

The scope for taking part in massive space battles is what I was after, but it seems sadly lacking.

Aye. It could easily be given a half-decent story, and fleshed out a bit into something a bit more solid, a bit more memorable.

I was hoping for a true follow up to Lylat Wars.

Give the series back to Miyamoto, he'll sort it out.

hmm yes it is I don't think it should be. I think it has the potential to be so much more.

Tales of Symphonia?

Starfox is an arcadey game though!
