Star Fox: Command

[Tabris_The_17th]

So I recall there being a couple of Star Fox fans floating around this forum of ours, so I figured I'd post some thoughts I've been having.

I used to subscribe to "Electronic Gaming Monthly," but the subscription ran out months ago and I never bothered renewing it (out of laziness, I'm sure). Long story short, I haven't been up on anything going on in the world of video games. So I was pretty shocked to see a poster hanging in my local mall advertising Star Fox: Command for the Nintendo DS. I had no clue a Star Fox game was coming to the DS. I was even more surprised to find that it was already out when I was at Wal-mart yesterday.

I ended up buying it since I had the extra cash in my wallet. It took me a while to decide to do so though, since I literally knew NOTHING about the game. But it was Star Fox...that's enough right there, right?

I'm still not sure whether I wanna give the developers points for originality with the control scheme or hate their guts. Controling the Arwing with the stylus and firing with the control pad feels REALLY awkward at first. I'm getting used to it, but I think I still would have preferred a more traditional control scheme. I also kind of miss the strolling levels that are usually found in Star Fox games. Still, the stradegy aspects of this one are interesting.

It's still not the Star Fox sequel I've been waiting for since Star Fox 64, but it's always nice to see these chatacters again.

Then don't ever buy a Wii.

Ugh, don't even get me started on the Wii We'd be here for a while.

If I had a DS, I wouldn't be around here right now. I'd be playing that game.

Ah, but my friend has a DS. I'll just "borrow" his for an undisclosed amount of time.

As long as it doesn't have any ground missions its better then Star Fox on the gamecube

I actually enjoyed Star Fox Assault. It was fun to play with friends. Mix with abundent supplies of caffiene and it made a great late night activity.

Yay *pokes the bunny* (dang I like that one too much)
Star Fox Assault is cool!! My friends at college play it every noe and then!

Star Fox Assault has its good points and its bad points. Personally I feel like there should have been more on rail missions, and the on ground stuff should have been cleaned up a little. Not that it was bad, it just felt a little awkward.

I never really got into the multiplayer aspect. For that you really need some people who like the game. Whenever I end up playing Gamecube with somebody its we usually play Smash Brothers or Mario Kart. Probably because those games are easy to just pick up and play without any prior experiance.

[Bocaj Claw]

Nonsense. You don't need to have another person that likes the game. Just a younger brother and a willingness to lose a few games to keep it interesting. Which is my way of not admitting he's managed to beat me several times.
