At last! Starfox is finally going to make it's debut on a handheld console - the GameBoy Advance obviously!

This time, Fox McCloud and the crew are back in Star X.
The game features 22 levels of space-blasting fun and some on-ground work from the Starfox team too!
This is only for the Single Player. The multiplayer 4-way link-up could also be a good reason to make you splash some more cash on a top Ninty product this month - yes, THIS MONTH!!

The SNES-like graphics look better than before on the GBA's tiny screen, even with a screen full off crafts and bombs it keeps it's cool.
It's not actually by Nintendo, and no, it's not Rare.
It is infact from 'BAM!' - just like good-old Wolfenstein 3D, also out this month.


So, what do you expect from what could be yet another brilliant Starfox game?? I cannot wait! Only problem is I will wait, as my hard-earned money will be going on GameCube, N64, and eventually Dreamcast games instead.

There'll be time for all these GBA games sometime in the future...

GD: The most obvious influence on Star X seems to be Nintendo and Argonaut's Star Fox on Super Nintendo. How far would you say this influence affects your game?

RW: Star Fox was one of our influences over the look and general game dynamics, but we've always maintained that Star X should be a completely new game. It's definitely bringing original features and ideas to the GBA, as opposed to cloning the ideas of others.

It ain't Star Fox, its just a game that looks like it. Sorry to burst your bubble. If you have some info that says it is please tell me where. What is great news is Namco making Star Fox for the GC.

this is all great, but BAM! are not pretty good at all, they are mediocre and this star x games main selling point is it's 'image of 3d' visuals. great, it will be generic and boring. i wouldn't buy it if i were you.

I am looking forward to see how this turns out. I just hope Star Wars Rogue Leader doesn't set too high a standard for GBA games of similar type to be compared to.
