Star Fox Assault: First Look by IGN...

[benwayshouse]

"Closing Comments-IGN
While somewhat fun, Star Fox: Assault fails to impress. It lacks the originality, mechanics and style of a next-generation sequel. Playing through the game’s opening sequence will rekindle your love for the franchise, only to have it betrayed by the shoddy control and repetitive play of successive levels. And the multiplayer, while dishing out mild entertainment, wears thin excessively fast. It would have been nice to see a greater variety of modes, not to mention better maps and more of them. Still, Star Fox: Assault will definitely appeal to fans of the series.


IGN's Ratings for Star Fox Assault (GCN)

7.0 Presentation
Super slick space battles are countered by so-so ground missions. Overall, a nice package with a lack of bugs and a decent interface.
7.5 Graphics
A mixed bag of awesome effects and limp textures. Animation runs smoothly, even though what's being animated suffers from "blah" design.
7.0 Sound
Fans will love the retooled Star Fox theme, but will cringe at some of the voices. Sound effects are generally weak.
6.5 Gameplay
The same Star Fox we've all come to expect. Arwing missions rock, while ground missions suffer from sloppy control.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
You can unlock three classic Namco games, and play the multiplayer forever if you wind up loving it--which isn't too likely.
7.0 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)"

Well, maybe not as good as we'd hoped. But then again, a 7.0 is decent; look harder than usual, and you may find something to like. I'll probably still nab it. I'll just have to enjoy the Single Player, since I won't have the option of multiplayer (unless I can invite friends over, soon...)

GS might actually have the rair occasion of scoring higher then IGN. I plan to get on launch.

[benwayshouse]

I want it too, but probably not at launch. I'll wait a month. Occupied with other games.

I do not have this game but I played it at my friend's house today. I love the multiplayer!!! Star Fox is good.

Hate to be mean but don't reply to topics that have been dead for a month.

I still haven't tried SA. I must sooner or later.

I'm positive he didn't bump the thread enough to be considered breaking the rules. Still, most of the time they SHOULD be left alone after little response.
