IGN Star Fox Adventures review

[DarkMaster]

Closing Comments-
Star Fox Adventures arrives as a truly excellent 3D action-adventure for GameCube owners. It's a clear Zelda rip, and not quite as good, but that's okay in my book as Rare has still done a pretty good job of it. There's lots of exploration to be had, character building elements, fun puzzles and not so fun puzzles, and some amazingly beautiful worlds to see and visit. Rare's technology is practically unparalleled.
Whether or not this needed to be a Star Fox game is debatable. The license seems to have been applied at the last hour and though there are a few interesting additions in this regard, the majority of the game deals with prehistoric happenings and magic. The flight missions come as more of an afterthought than anything else.

This is also one of the longest, more difficult games available for Nintendo's console, which is something of a relief for me and I'm sure for countless other players looking for something deeper than usual.

Highly recommended.

Presentation-
Is this Dinosaur Planet or Star Fox? We're not exactly sure. 5.0

Graphics-
Outstanding. From model construction to texture detail, animation, world building and more, this game looks beautiful. Only a few marks in framerate and textures drop it down. 9.0

Sound-
Amazingly well done. Solidly composed music mixes with top voice acting, though it is a bit over the top. 9.0

Gameplay-
Zelda with a Fox. Some of the puzzles are challenging and satisfying and others are either too easy or too disorienting. A very long quest. 8.0

Lasting Appeal-
The quest is absolutely huge the first time through and there are some secrets worth checking out a second time, but this type of title by nature is best played once. 7.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 9.0

i would post the whole review....but you know, i'm lazy, so meh. sounds good though, if i had money and time i would get it, but kingdom hearts has taken away both right now.
