After seeing StarFox in action I have to say it looks great. Still shots really don't do it justice; action looks fast paced and intense and the graphics are quite something, especially Fox McCloud himself, regardless of how rough they look around the edges.

It seems I judged this one too quickly as it seems to be the StarFox I was waiting, even the on-foot combat looks great, which surprised me.

Oh, and has anyone else noticed that Wario World was missing 2 worlds?

I completed it within 10 hours, it was far too easy.

Anyway, no one figured out why there are two missing worlds from Wario World, yet?

I'm trying to get through SFA at the moment...

Warning do not play it after Zelda is all I can say... Metroid isn't as good and STarfox is V***k.

Maybe he also counted the time where he fell asleep by mistake.

Truth is, it wasn't original, some puzzles were shockingly simple, the combat was patronising and it was pretty short. But it kept me hooked right the way through thanks to the variation in gameplay and adequate plot. There wasn't one point where I wasn't having fun and in my mind, that makes it a decent game.

I wouldn't give it any more than 7/10, but some of the criticisms thrown at it are ridiculous.

It's fun, but shallow & uninspiring.

Surely it can't be 'that bad'?!

Going to have to rent it to see what all the fuss is about.

Only reason for doing that was so you could take it back to the shop before the gurantee ran out.
