It also makes me a little emotional to think that we wont get the same sort of sequel due to rares absence. Even though i think nintendo are going to carry on with the franchise and are working on star fox armada at the moment but it wont have the same esscence. Then again there were quite alot of annoying things about this game. heres a list of what i thought was irritating:
1. those british accents given to the dinosaurs
2. there was no point in cheat tokens
3. why wasnt falco in it from the start
4. the channel 5 late night friday movie music that was played whenever fox saw crystal
5. the lenght of the game
6. the lack of space flight levels
7. the main characters should have had more actual involvement in the game
8. the way fox kept saying that the only way he was saving dinosaur planet was for money!
other than that it was a pretty good game just a bit too easy
fox gets girl,
they all get money,
all is saved,
*falls into a StarFox adventures type of confusion*

Sounds sorta like James Bond:Gets girl,all is saved:DThe world suffers>:D
Although the graphics are initially stunning and do occasionally impress with some neat locations, all the characters are pretty much lifeless - just standing there all day and all night doing nothing.
It doesn't seem like a living breathing world at all.
Also, the game doesn't know whether it's trying to be cool with Fox or mythical with those stupid attempts at riddles from the dinosaurs.
It ends up looking stupid.
Basically, a graphically beautiful game, with no heart, soul in it's story, setting or characters.
Oh, and the fight system is plain awful.
Pure tedium in button bashing.
The one good thing about it is that it proves that the Gamecube can out-do the Xbox on the technical side, even if it doesn't provide the Game design with it.
Damn that game was easy.

I completed it 3rd go. Far too easy.
I'm staying well away from Starfox GC.
