This thread has been linked to the game 'Star Fox Adventures'.
It came in the post today, on-time (cheers SR!), and I've been playing it for most of the morning (couldn't be bothered with school today, you see).
And so-far, I don't really have a lot of bad things to say about this game.
Then again... I haven't really played THAT much of it.
As far as the graphics are concerned, this game is superb!
Look at the detail on Fox McCloud's fur... So real you can almost stroke it! The water effects look lovely too, and so does everything else around the enviroments so-far. Especially when it poors-down with rain!
It looks like Zelda, but it isn't Zelda. Although a lot of the controls and stuff resemble the Zelda 64 games almost identically.
You've got you're usual "Attack", "Put Down", and the rest, and there's even a neat targeting system that works well - and you don't even have to press Z to lock-on to fight. Beating an enemy is too easy really, but the way Fox uses his staff, his wide-range of different moves... it's all so incredible to look at and watch as that dino doesn't even get a second to breathe!
And as for the accents, they've made me laugh so far!
There's a giant stone Warp blokey who sounds kinda like Billy Connoly, some odd ramblings from Genral Scales, Krystal and the local Dinosaurs, but the Mammoths don't sound right... Sounds like a Cockney BADLY impersonating a farmer from Devon, and it just doesn't work.
Good all the same though, really livens up the game further.
The in-space shoot-'em-up sections are good too, and they remind me of Lylat Wars, but with much-better graphics. It works just the same as before, but it looks a lot better. It's still easy too - and that's what most of the game seems to be like. But it's still fun.
And the bit where you chase 2 dinos on a Snowmobile-type-thing is good too, but a little frustrating when you hit the sides though.
That's pretty easy too.
It's a great game from what I can see so-far, but I have a feeling the adventure is going to be very linear in places. Even though it's not the Zelda clone some were expecting, you shouldn't put this game down like NGC and the rest have done. It may be pretty easy, but it's still fun.
Rare still could've done slightly better though.
Want to know anything else? Just ask.
And it only uses 3 blocks for saving!
But wasn't this supposed to be multiplayer or something?
And I wonder if we'll soon se Falco in a similar style game to this?
I hope so. :)

The combat's easy but looks sweet.
You can string together some massive combo's and the animation's superb.

I had this on GAD, but after some bad reviews, I changed it to Vice City.
Reading this, I'm not sure. Solskjaer, give me a staright answer - is it worth getting?

Sorry, I never trust people who write solely in upper case.
GC2002 you need to give a lot more reason than that for not liking SFA, give reason - Is the game linear (sp? and what does it mean), has it ll been done before... Also, stop doing little replys, try and chat, not be short and snippy.
