Play Star Fox Assault Early!

Another reason to believe the glory days of gaming are behind us? Nothing that is fresh and new?

Some companies try fresh and new stuff (Pikmin being an example) but the general population don't always want to try new things

"oh, it's still on rails, the game sucks" = IGN

yeah right, the rails are what defines it as star fox... if i wanted to play star wars rogue leader I would.....

there is no pleasing IGN staff. THATS WHAT PEOPLE LIKE! I wanted a star fox that is just like the 64 version with better graphics and a little different gameplay.

Can't say that I'm too impressed with the time I've spent with the game. Ground battles are pretty bad, and the rest just doesn't seem very exciting so far.

Haha I just love how Crash suddenly turns out hating IGN.

Last time, when MP2 was reviewed.....

/me sighs

I'm pretty frustrated with the rating as well. Not simply because I think it's unfair that they disliked the game. But the fact that they gave the game a 7.0, a "you might want to buy it, rent it first" type rating. But then they turn around and give NBA Street v3 a 9.4. WTF?

Can I just say that EA is completely and utterly raping the gaming industry? I hate Sports games. Yeah. Just about every one of them. I really think you would all feel the same way if you worked in Gamestop/EB. There's just something about the titles. Something about how sports game fans can complain that Nintendo's sequels aren't original - and then they turn around and buy the newest copy of Madden every year.

/me screams

If you had to alphabetize an entire used PSX section by yourself and help customers at the same time... You would know... The M-N sections... Are just... Disgusting... The M-N sections take more time than everything else in the store combined to properly alphabetize. Now by itself, that's nothing. I've made no point. But when I'm doing it, I think about how much each title has really changed. And I know, that the changes are minimal, and yet people keep paying for them. It just makes me want to burn every single freaking sports title ever made (save for a select few that have really added to the industry).

At any rate, I'll rent the game today. Hopefully I'll like it more than IGN did.

I'm going to ask a parent of mine if I can rent SFA.

Expect impressions and an update later this evening!

Okay I finally found a Blockbuster where I could rent the game from.

The controls do take some getting used to. There are three control configurations, but the critics are right about the land stages. The control schemes for those stages is rather tedious.

The voice acting isn't all that great sometimes either.

So far I think I prefer all the other Star Fox games over this one. I have until the 12th of this month to take it back. I'm thinking I'll probably still buy a copy of my own, even if I do manage to finish it while I'm still renting the game. I'm keep the memory on the card even if I don't finish it though.

EDIT: I actually finished it yesterday, on the easy difficulty level. I returned it today though.
