I was just chatting to one of my mates in Canada and he's busy playing Starfox, I did my best to sort of 'interview' him about the game, and it sounds more incredible than ever!

Don't worry, this doesn't contain any spoilers, unless you don't want to know some of the attacks you can do, but thats hardly a spoiler is it?

The convo is ripped straight from MSN, which is why there are gaps between lines, I can't be bothered to fix it :)


I'm B, He's A. Sorry for his rather dodging spelling, and the way he writes one word a line :) At least it makes for easy reading.

Maybe they are using it for more of a "relax" part so you can chill for 5 mins before getting the staff back.

Played it at GamesMatrix. Very good graphics, nice music (from what I could make out, lots of noise around me) and a clever control system.

No jumping, but you auto-jump.

Only played it for 5 mins though, and the guy before me did the space shooter bit (which was, in his words, 'easy as ***')

It looked easy to. And very nice.

Same here, me mum's buying it for me for christmas present. I'll probably buy Metroid Fusion with my own money since they all seem to come out on the SAME DAY. Why are they being so nice to us, have we done something wrong?
