It was an awesome cut scene at the end, and i thought it was well good how general scales was being controlled by andross but it just felt so short and aimed at kids. there was hardly any challenge in the gameplay like there was in good old lylatwars back on the 64. the final battle with andross was so much easier than that of androsses brain on venom in lylatwars. I litterally did it second time but it must have taken me half a year to complete andross back on the 64. the whole game also felt so much shorter and unchallenging. Slippy was there to give hints to all the puzzles so there was harldy any stoppages when it came to complicated puzzles. i tired to use slippy as little as possible but that still didnt slow me down. i completed the whole game in a month.

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

Does any one think that the Hint's machine (Or if you look up Slippy on the pause menu) also helped the game to be to easy?

the 2nd bit u had to do in the game, ya know with crystal, that was realy good, i was thinking, yeh this is just like Zelda. But from there on wards it seemend to go down hill. Its like they shortened it.

I was expecting loads of locations like thorntail hollow, for example with a shop, mainly because of how the shop keaper kept saying she was moving and secondely because i bourght nearly all the items in the shop in 10 mins.

I was so enoyed about the end boss, i cannot believe their has been the same boss at the end of all 3 starfox games, it is absolutely terrible! and what a cheat! i was just about to fight general scales and guess what, u don't actually fight him, what a waste of an enemy, so yes if u aint played the game and aint gonna, u don't acutually fight the big bad guy in the game, who has created a menace through the game, no it turns out someone was controlling him, what a rip-off.
