I've had this on a GAD for about three months, and have been looking forward to it immensely. I'll wait till playing it myself to pass final judgement, but this all comes as very disappointing news.

I quote:

Visuals - 9
Like Jet Force Jemini in high-resolution. Technically excellent.

Sounds - 6
The music's alright but the voices will have you tearing your hair out.

Mastery - 6
Skillfully coded, but there's more to mastery than just that.

Lifespan - 6
Not much replay value, apart from trying for a 100 per cent rating.

Verdict:
Not actually bad, but after all the waiting this comes as a huge disappointment. We wanted a classics, we got plain ordinary.


Would post more, but I've got to dash, I'm afraid. :(

But then again, it would sort of go hand in hand with reports of Starfox being to easy to breeze through...

Although Rare spite might have brought it out of them, after all, they did give Donkey Kong 64 94%...


Can you post why the slated it?

Who reckons that 72% for Starfox is to spite Rare over going Xbox exclusive? NGC have been eulogising over that game for months...
