Picked this up last night from my local indie. Spent an hour on it.
It. Looks. Fantastic. Contains some impressive graphical touches. The environments are beautiful. Full of rich, vibrant colours. No pop-up that I've seen to speak of either. It has an "epic" look and feel to it.
Dolby Pro Logic II sound too. Okay, it's not Dolby 5.1, but this suffices and creates an aural delight. The local dilect of the Dinosaur Planet, is a little strange at first. Almost sounds like Hoolio Geordio from the Harry Enfield sketches. Minus the Geordie accent.
It is a Zelda clone for all intents and purposes. It handles like Zelda. Some of the puzzle elements are Zelda-esque. Certain scenarios involving other natives are Zelda-esque too. However, whilst comparisons are obviously drawn to Nintendo's own epic adventure, Starfox does retain an identity of it's own.
The Arwing scenarios handle like the N64 Lylat Wars title, albeit with a looser feel to them. You can shoot your way through mines and enemies to get to the next-section. Make no mistake. This is a good game. It provides the perfect anaedote *until* Zelda hits the PAL shores towards the middle of next-year.
Oh, almost forgot. There was hoopla a couple of months ago that Starfox comes on 2-discs. It doesn't. It comes on 1-disc.
