This thread has been linked to the game 'Star Fox Adventures'.
Been thinking about this for a while now, and I can say this is a very overlooked game.
Its great fun to play and sadly looks as if it has been overlooked by the masses who buy such CRAP like TheSims.
Anyways, I am going to put my er-proval on it.
Anyone who doesn't own Starfox Adventures. Give it a go!

I'm staying away from this game. I might get beaten up for playing it. Tiltwhirl seems to have strong feelings against it, and he's a bigger boy...
I actually thought that the shop keeper was funny... :-D
It's pretty flawed but I think you let it's simplicity ruin it too much for you.
The fight system was a HUGE let down, but so long as you're not expecting the best game you've ever played, it is reasonable fun.
And you have to play it, even if just to see what graphical power the Gamecube can achieve. It looks better than any Xbox game, let alone other Gamecube games.
Sure it's simple, repetetive and pretty unimaginative (it doesn't feel like a real world at all, I mean it's just scenes and places, not a living breath world, if you know what I mean...).
But it's still playable and has it's moments where it's fun.
It's not half as bad as Digitiser and Tilt make out, although I think they were slating it based on their disappointment - I sort of knew what to expect.

One thing I did like about Starfox though was the fact that the leader of that the head of one of the Tribes sounded like a Pappa Lazarou.
I was waiting for him to try and sell me some pegs.
"You're my wife now"

I was gonna rerain from properly replying to this topic and stating how much I despise this terrible excuse for a game. But getting told I have no taste in games by a newbie for not liking SA and not thinking it's the best game ever is like getting told you're an idiot for saying that Lara Croft is an ugly computer generated mare.
The game sucked there's no way around it. For starters whoever said the levels where imaginative is completly, undeniably wrong. Ice world, fire world, beach world.....haven't we seen this somewhere before? yes that's right we've seen it in every other rare platformer ever conceived....not really looking too good so far is it?
The combat system, where shall I start with this one? simplistic, bland, repetetive, button bashing. Terrible in other words.
The puzzles, take barrel A to point B and drop it. Shoot the cunningly disguised panel sitting on the wall in front of you. Or how about the best of a really bad bunch, find the gold....jeez you wouldn't think it'd be under the patches of funny coloured sand on the beach would ya?
The game is like Zelda for retards, I felt completly patronized by it at every corner I turned. Sure the graphics where amazing but after about 1 hour of play it sinks in just how crap, boring and repetetive this terrible game is. It was just one big scavenger hunt much like Rares other games, don't get me wrong i enjoyed Rares other games, they where actually challenging. It's Zelda for teeny boppers.
It's a case of lazy Rare churning out another 'by the book platformer' but this time for some odd reason they decided to make it for simpletons.
Don't even get me started on the flying sections, the voice overs, the shop keeper, the storyline, Prince Tricky etc etc
It was a terrible game, there's no way around it. Fair enough some of you got some enjoyment out of it. But after playing through Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day and DK64 I can't help but look at Starfox Adventures and wonder what the fook went wrong.
Anyway i've said my piece, I'm sure Pumbas gonna start crying again because I don't like his 'bestest game in the world times 10 million'
