Put Lylat Wars out the other day, and have been playing it quite a bit. It's a great game! Not really played too much of it before.

So what's the new one like on GameCube? The on foot levels worry me. I want my on-rails shooter!! Played Panza Dragoon Orta not too long ago, and thought that was great, and now Lylat Wars, and that's superb, so is there still lots of on-rails shooting levels in the new one?

I know what you mean about F-Zero GX. It's a great game, but it was missing something. I wanted to have really insane tracks, but they were a bit plain in comparison to what I wanted. Plus the music wasn't as good.

I think the problem is that Namco tried to change it too drastically. Nintendo would have never introduced on foot levels or any of that malarky. It's a shame that they wasted it, really.

The same sort of thing happened with F Zero GX. Sega just didn't make it memorable or different enough. None of the tracks stood out and it all felt sort of soulless, plus it was missing the X Cup and the Death Race, the best bits of F Zero X, and the 'story' mode was no replacement.

lylat wars was just the sickest shooter ever. i would have prefered a remake with nice graphics rather than this assault rubbish.

Maybe next time you should check whether the game has the feature before spending your money.

Bahh, game doesn't need co-op, or a story line. Just flying around in your Arwing shooting stuff!! Is what scrolling-shooters are all about!

Yeah I was expecting 4 player co-op mode too, which is the main reason I bought the game.

The game Starfoc Assault is fun, but the foot levels could have been better and the storyline isn't long enough. Co-op mode with 4 players would be nice also.
