It is the old Conker's Bad Fur Day site re-made... I am making a Starfox site as a media studies product. Take what is there, there will be interviews, reviews, cheats, solutions etc... when the time comes but right now all I want you to look at is what i have done.
I am trying to make it feel like the Starfox Universe (the Lylat System) do you think i have succeeded, is there anything you think can be added to the pages that do exist?
Any sorta criticism or thoughts are greatly appreciated as you are my focus groups being Nintendo fans and all.

You should put the suggested resolution on the front
Huge improvement, in my opinion. Very nice.

Alright I took your advice and did something to the first two pages...
www.conkula.com take a look...
Now I am unsure about the text and white is the only other colour that really works but hey. I did that alternative text box over the planets as WS suggested as well.

The website is in fact based on an old Site called Conkula, a hugely popular Conker's Bad Fur Day site. After a while I decided to change games... I know exactly what is going in the site as I am basing it around the old site content (so interviews, games etc...). Nevertheless the old site did have a page that described the site (The recent updates page in fact) and my knowledge of the previous site didn't extend to the colour of the and style of the font... i never considered it.
Oh and i do know advanced code... it isn't easy cutting up a set picture like that without knowing advanced code.

Hmm. The front (enter) page looks good, but seems essentially useless. I'm not a fan of wasting peoples' time with fancy but hollow flash intros at the best of times, but here, although it's only a minor barrier, it still seems to be a barrier to fluid usability.
On the main page, a bit of a description as to what was going on would have been nice. You can get to that page and still not actually know what the site is about - that's okay if you know what you're visiting the site for, but as a first time user it feels a little offputting, without making clear exactly why I should stay and read the page.
Also, as WS said, the yellow text looks.. improvable. Maybe a nice graphic?
I'd suggest you takle both main criticisms by adding to the 'enter' page a brief description of what the site is about. Thus the user knows what the site is about, and all your current pages would actually be functional.
I may be wring, but I got the feeling you may still need to work out what the site will be about yourself.
In my (limited) web design experience, one thing has become pretty clear - you HAVE to design the site itself around the content and the site's purpose, not the other way around.
Still, you do have the makings of a great looking site there. Give it some work and I think it could work out very nicely. :^)

Oh, and yeah, I only looked at the main page, I'll check the rest out tommorow (well, today).
Not meaning to be heavily critical, but it looks cheap and rubbish.
The image was all pixaly, can you not get it a bit clearer?
The font is bad too, standard font, underlined and yellow just stick out like a sore thumb.
I'm assuming you don't know more advanced coding stuff, it would be better if a futuristic looking box thingy came up with the name of the area it linked to when you put the curser over the planet.
But, meh, I couldn't do any better :P
