This thread has been linked to the game 'StarFox 64'.
That's right, I wanted to like this game I really did but the more I play it the more it dawns on me just how pathetically retarded it is.
At first I was enjoying myself, the graphics where amazing and the puzzles seemed simple but okay. I'm starting to realise though why it got such low marks, it stupidly linear, the majority of puzzels are pathetically simliar and extremely simple. It's like Zelda for retards...not just your normal retard though these would have to be super, super retards. Sometimes i've got stuck because I find myself looking into the puzzle to much when actual fact I should be looking for a stupid symbol on the wall, absoloute ar$e.
I games where rated on graphics then this would be the best game of the year, unfortunatly they're not and I agree with Digitiser this deserves 2/10, not because it's THAT bad, it's bad but not THAT bad but because Rare should have done so much better, they've proved they can before so what in Gods name possessed them when they where making this steaming pile of toss I realy don't know.
Oh and this is coming from someone who loved DK64 and thinks Banjo Tooie is one of the best games ever.
I'll play the game to the end just because, but it'll be going back as soon as I finish it.

I might buy it, but if it is crap I can always take it back. From the videos it looks good though
exactly, if you dont like it take it back
or even play it in store.
there must be a smaller, less main stream games shop near you, ask if you can have a go, then if you like it thats great

I always goto the loccal independant retaailer. I get all my games early for £35 each! :D
Er.............dilemma!
I probably won't get this though.
Linearity is a fatal flaw, unless the game actualy involves me in other ways - ie narrative, such as ED or Resident Evil.

star fox isnt linear as such, it has missions to follow but so do most games!
if this is linear then all games are!

All games follow a trand. You have to do things to complete a level. But on most games there a lots of ways to do that one thing. Is this like Starfox? Are there lots of ways to do that one thing?

To me that's exactly what starfox is, amazing graphics, nice sound but a total lack of gameplay.
At this rate i'll of completed it by Monday, me thinks a trade in for Mario Party 4 is in order. Stupid Fox game, it should be fun but it's not.

You really do not like this game do you Tiltawhirl! Well I am sure it is opinion based!
Despite it being very linear and easy, I was really enjoying it.
Untill I got to the Walled City that is, that level is, for want of a more intelligent description, sh*te.
One thing though, the Test 3 - The Test Of Fear is pretty darn cool.
