Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Star fox is back!
This game is one of my favorite games. You must gather stones to put a planet back togethor again. A great adventure game. It does require thinking but its packed with cool foes and planets to see. Your out of your ship almost the whole time. Its not like the old ones on Super Nintendo or N64,this time your mostly on land. It's exciting too go to diffrent planets and see whats on the planets. It has a pretty good plot. But don't worry about getting lost because you can contact your friend Peppy and Slippy to help you on your journey to save Dinasaur Planet. You also have a little dinasaur with you to help you. The graphics are pretty cool. Defenetly worth your time and your money.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great, but doesn't last long
Star Fox Adventures is, a great game. It has many mechanics used in the Zelda games and follows basically the same format as those games. However the game just doesn't have that natural sparkle found in a Nintendo game, that youd come to expect.

Star Fox adventures takes place 8 years after Andross has been destroyed. Wondering around in the Lylat System is something that the Star Fox team is just not into anymore, with Peppy have retired, and Falco to do his personal things, Fox and Slippy haven't been able to keep up with there old ship. So when General Peppers comes in with a job for the old crew, Fox and CO. come into the rescue. They soon learn that they will need to help out a place called Dinosaur Planet, a planet that has been semi taken over by a lizard named General Scales. He has made the planet break up into a few diffrent regions, and your job (as Fox McCloud) is to find Spellstones and Krazoa Spirits to make the Planet return to normal.

In my oppinion, it's a pretty good story, and definitly is alot like LOZ:OOT. The Graphics in the game are next to perfect. the fur effects (which was thought to only be able to be on the xbox) are amazing and very realistic. Fox McCloud is very realistic, and the world are very very well done. The music is all new, besides some of the old school Star Fox songs, which appear in the game a few times. The controls are solid as well, but once you play the game (especially if you've played LOZOOT) will all seem like the same, and you'll be thinking hmmm, have I played this before. In fact the game feels just like LOZOOT. I think that's the huge problem with this game, the controls and mechanics, and even the whole purpose of the game is all old, and it's been done before. Not to mention that in my oppinion SFA has maybe the worst ending I've ever seen in my life (when/if you beat the game you'll see what I'm talking about).

So overall SFA is solid if you somehow missed LOZOOT and it's a great game, with some huge flaws that really hold it back. The whole conecept of the game of find this, put this here, collect this stone has all been done before in LOZOOT and it doesn't need to be done here.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best farewell present from RareWare!
Star Fox Adventures is the greatest and, sadly, the most under-appreciated game I know. For some reason this game was overlooked by many players and did not receive the credit it deserves. As many know, Star Fox Adventures was the last game released by RareWare, in fact, to me it is a beautiful "farewell present" that RareWare gave to its fans before it departed (most likely, forever).
As most of the RareWare games, Star Fox Adventures amazes with its appearance - I am not just talking about detailed graphics, many levels mesmerize with their overall appearances and atmospheres. I found myself just going into a "first-person view" and simply looking around the Ocean World, Snow World, SkyWalker World, and many others - after all, in each world you can see the time of the day change from the sunny day to a silent night with a giant moon and the stars. Furthermore, time-to-time the rain or a snow begins to fall; adding to these atmospheres, there is a beautiful music that accompanies every change of the mood and time of day.
The game itself is filled with imagination and creativity that only RareWare offered to us for so many years (and only Electronic Arts came close to imitate). Every level offers you obstacles and twists that you never encountered before in other games; and, typical to RareWare, you often encounter puzzling situation that end up having easy solutions, but they allow you to change the way of your thinking to understand how to solve them (and if you are completely stuck, you can refer to the tips from Slippy or from the characters in the game). What bought me over at the first try is that you get to fight the SharpClaw soldiers with a staff weapon using different fighting techniques that you discover for yourself - this and various racing levels greatly add to the adrenaline action of the game.
The game is great for all ages - a 6-year-old and a 30-year-old can enjoy it and find something special for oneself. As the time has passed, the game became very inexpensive and can be purchased as a new or as a used copy; in each case the money would be well spent. In overall, I give this game "20" out of "10".



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Starfox sets the standard for the Cube...
Unfortunatly, not many games that have appeared on the Cube can rival the graphics of Starfox Adventures. Take on a totally different adventure, compared to those seen in Fox's earlier titles. Dinosaur Planet is in trouble and Fox has come to save the day!

Graphics 5/5 - Wow! The lighting, shadows, colors...everything. This game is so realistic. I felt like I had been transported to an animated movie. Watch out for the weather effects, they're awesome.

Sound 5/5 - The soundtrack is great. When Fox is in trouble you know it...when the situation changes so does the music. Well orchestrated.

Control 4/5 - Pretty solid. I hate the controls for shooting with the power stick.

Gameplay 4/5 - Plays like Zelda. Uses a similar button setup. I do have a complaint. The boss battles are dissapointing...I expected a little more from the end...but whatever...the game's still good. Oh yea...the stick that Fox acquires should do more during combat.

Overall Fun Factor 3/5 - Great fun playing the game but replay factor is not so great. You gotta find hidden stuff but aside from that maybe some multiplayer stuff could have given it a boost.

Buy or Rent? - Buy It.
