Amazon.com Review: Fox McCloud is back, but he's left the on-the-rails, shoot-'em-up larks of his previous two games behind--this all-new Star Fox adventure sees the super furry animal in a very Zeldaesque bid to save Dinosaur Planet.
Although the control system is very similar to The Legend of Zelda's, Star Fox Adventures is no simple clone. It's your job as the mercenary mammal to find all the spellstones that will rejoin the splintered planet and defeat the evil General Scales. This entails much exploring of ancient temples and completing of subquests to help everything from Yorkshire-accented woolly mammoths to pterodactyls who've lost their babies.
The game may lack the epic scale and endless invention of Zelda but it has plenty of new ideas of its own, including a fully interactive dinosaur sidekick, some cool shoot-'em-up sections in Fox's spaceship, and lots of ways to upgrade a magical staff--your weapon of choice when out of your ship. To add some icing to the cake, the graphics are absolutely amazing, particularly the superrealistic fur effects. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk

Rating: - Not the starfox I knew
im not saying that this is a bad game but it surprised me I thought that there would be more flying instead this is sort of like legend of zelda. I like how they tried to take the game in a new direction but it didnt cut it for me I loved star fox 64 in fact it was the first video game I ever played so I hope that star fox comand will have more flying in it than this one. on the plus side this game had a good storyline that made it hard enoughto not beat it in an hour heres how I rate it

I loved playing star fox it is a bit creppy and scary but it is so much fun you should try it!This game is proble ment for kids 10 and older. because of the evil creatures.
Rating: - It's a really good game!
I really like the Zelda adventure type games like they made SF Adventures. I am not that crazy about the soot them all up in space type games like they made the other SF games. They did a really good job making it like Zelda! The bottom line is,
If you like adventure games and RPG games you will love SF Adventures!
