Game play - 8/10
Star Fox Adventures feels a little like a Zelda game, but there are many differences to make it a whole different experience. I had more fun playing this than I did any Zelda game.
Fox You play the role of Fox McCloud, as you do in Star Fox and Star.
The battle system is simple, although more complex than any Zelda game. Your main weapon is a staff, and you can do multi-hit combos with it by pressing different directions and the A button repeatedly. There is little variety in the possible combos though. You add in your staff's extra abilities to the combo, like a fireball. As you progress through the game, you can add upgrades to the staff such as the ability to shoot fireballs. Each of these upgrades require magic power, which you can refill by collecting gems that are scattered on the ground or attached to a plant. These abilities are also essential in solving puzzles throughout the game.
You have a companion that follows you everywhere, named Prince Tricky. You can give him commands such as find (he'll dig a hole in certain spots to find an item),
Puzzles are abundant, and nicely varied. They aren't so hard that you'll be pulling your hair out, but they aren't all so easy that you'll be bored either.
Story - 6/10
Eight years after the defeat of Andross in Star Fox 64, the Star Fox team has continued its patrol of the Lylat system, guarding it from threats. Falco has left the team, Slippy decided to quit flying and become Weapons R&D, Peppy retired from flight duty and is now navigator and advisor.
Audio - 8/10
The music in Star Fox Adventures is absolutely beautiful! Each area has its own tune and they all feel just right.
Voice acting is done very well. Almost every character speaks too. Text without a voice is very rare in this game.
Visuals - 10/10
The graphics of Star Fox Adventures are some of the most gorgeous I've seen in any game. Very few games come even close. Even Final Fantasy X doesn't even top this, and that's by no means a small feat!
I found myself just exploring around to look at the beautiful scenery, and I rarely do that in video games.
Overall - 9/10
Star Fox Adventures exceeded my expectations. The only major flaw is that the game is way too short! I finished it in about 20 hours. I was hoping for at least 30 hours.
To buy or not to buy? - Unfortunately this is a hit or miss game. Many people will be turned off from it because they believe that Fox should stay in the skies, yet many people will also enjoy the different direction the game took from the series. I suggest a first you buy this game right now :) its worth every penny and if you get it from special reserve you get it cheaper than most other places.

TPTB decide (the powers that be). They are: THE STAFF
They rarely show their heads above ground, and when they do, it is to mate every ten thousand years. they sit in their coven, with their 2.5GHz laptops and their fancy "broadband" connections and they decide. and they cackle. and they give out prizes...
