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.

Yeah, if they released Conkers Bad Fur Day 2 (on the Gamecube) then they would make lots more $$$.

I can see alot of kids playing it actually. I think it will be very popular to kids and Zelda very popular to everyone!

Well...They can't change that, If they knew they were going make it simple puzzles.

But remember that Rare was a 2nd party devopler and so they, I would of thought kept to a theme which most of say 'Kiddish'.

NGC need to get second opinions on things. Becuase some members of their tam like certain games and review them highly. Others don't. I say we go down there and slap them all!

There's no pleasing NGC anymore, what I question is why they give crap reviews to all these games yet Luigi's Mansion got 90%?

Me ar$e, that game was a load of balls compared to games like Pikmin.

Anyway Starfox is still a load of balls, played it for quite a long time last night, some of the areas in the game are simply pant wettingly amazing to look at but the game is patronizingly kiddy, I feel like I should be wearing mittens when I play the stupid Fox game. Cape Claw is simply beautiful, shame that the puzzles there take about 5 seconds to do, find the gold bars phhhhhhhhhhft.

I enjoyed Starfox when I played it in a games shop - although that was only for about 10 - 20 minutes, so I guess in the long run it isn't that good.

Ah well... :-(
