i actually kinda like this, it has a lot going for it. i didnt even mind the on-foot segments
On top of arwings and landmasters, this Star Fox game makes you fight on the ground like a third-person action game at times. Unfortunately it's really short and easy, and the voice acting is pretty weak. This game isn't anywhere near the quality of Star Fox 64, which is a little surprising and disappointing.
Garbage
This is the direction StarFox needs to continue going if it wants to be big again
So I'm just gonna tell you something, I think this is better than 64.............oh sweet someone just through a brick through one of my windows just by saying that...........neat
Underrated
Campaign and multiplayer were fun and varied. Bazooka Slippy OP.
Das schwarze Schaf der Star Fox Reihe, bevor weitere 10 schwarze Schafe erschienen sind.
Und ich mags eigentlich immer noch recht gern weil es den Job eines richtigen Nachfolgers mit mehr Story, höheren Stakes und mehr Features eigentlich relativ solide vollführt.
Die Bodenmissionen lassen zu wünschen übrig, die Spacemissionen sind gut aber zu selten, gerade das vorletzte Level ist furchtbar. Aber dafür sind gerade die Spacelevel mit die besten der ganzen Reihe!
Aber trotzdem wollte ich immer, dass man an diesem Prinzip festhält. Es verfeinert, statt zu verwerfen. Kid Icarus Uprising hat gezeigt, dass genau das funktionieren kann.

É.... não é um Starfox 64 mas... dá pro gasto.
I was disappointed by this when it came out, but the more I played it, the more I grew to really enjoy it. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was kind of its own special thing.
I loved this back in the day. Basically, I didn't care for on-rails shooters (still kinda don't) so the addition of on-foot TPS segments was really great to me.
Great variety of levels/play styles with a robust multiplayer that stands taller than others in Star Fox history. Story mode is far too short.
Wolf is the best bad boy in town.
great star fox game. multiplayer is a blast too. great ost
Star Fox: Assault is surprisingly similar to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle in all the best and worst ways. The aspect of the game that the series is best known for (on-rails shooting / fast-paced platforming) is enjoyable for a good chunk of the levels that feature it. These levels are short, sweet, and just straight up fun, as well as forming the introduction and peak of the games. This is when there's moments that feel like they're pushing the series forward with unique enemies and creative environments. The soundtrack for these levels are also have some of the best music of the series, both for remixed classics and original pieces. Unfortunately, they're also the only sections I would want to replay.
For both these games, about 2/3rds of the main playthrough is bogged down by sections with drastically different and unpolished play styles. For Star Fox: Assault, the ground 3rd person shooter sections are a shocking parallel to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle's treasure hunting levels, both dealing with loose controls and hard to navigate maps. Likewise, SFA's stationary turret bits and SA2B's mech levels both have a very slow-paced feel with gameplay that gets quickly repetitive without the snappier controls of the rest of the game. These parts feel so tacked on, and I wish both Namco / Sega had more faith in the main gameplay style of on-rails shooting / 3D platforming.
On a more ambivalent note, both Star Fox: Assault and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle have aspects that fall into a category of "so bad it's entertaining" that usually only applies to movies. The storyline and voice acting are consistently baffling and bizarre, and feel as though they're the first and only narrative ideas and recording takes the team went with. The games have some moments where it seems to be really going for emotional bits, but a majority of the time seems to embrace the campy and weird furry universe they live in.
Overall both games are so smothered in jank that makes it hard to recommend to those that aren't already die-hard fans of the series. I can at least commemorate the first level of each respective game for providing an exciting foundation for what each series could be. I feel that's where Star Fox and Sonic are both at their best.

It's no masterpiece, but people give this game way more crap than it deserves. The on foot segments are the obvious weak points, but there's a lot of fun to be had here.
more like ground fox
4 Player rockets only. A real nonsense game
All the on-rails levels are great, wasn't a huge fan of the on-foot or all-range sections. Would like to see another game in this style if Star Fox ever returns from the grave.
Sequel to StarFox Adventure that equilibrates 40% non-StraFox gameplay style with 60% StarFox gameplay style. Furros.
Replayed and it's better than I remembered.

I'll give this game shit but in all honesty it's a pretty decent Star Fox game. its flaws are numerous and it will never live up to 64 but it's as close as we've gotten to that level. easily the only post-64 game worth playing, and more than once.
Underrated StarFox game. This is still one of the best in the series
one of the better star fox games, still not great
Game's so underrated it physically hurts me.
The story is pretty sweet, the voice acting is good and it's overall pretty serious and dark which I appreciate, the only real issue I have is that they kinda backed out from a couple big decisions but it's still cool.
The gameplay is great too, the typical Star Fox gameplay is as good as it usually is but the on foot stuff is a good expansion of the gameplay, hunting down enemies in these big maps, and the best part is tha tmost of these stages allow you to hop on a Landmaster or Arwing whenever you want, which just allows for so much freedom. Also, orchestral music. In 2005. It's sick. The only issue is that it's really short, but for how focused the plot is I suppose that makes sense.
The best part of the game though is easily the multiplayer, which honestly is probably some of the best multiplayer ever in a Nintendo game. Sure it's just an arena shooter, but there's so many different options you have both from the start and that you can unlock that just make for so much fun, whether it be just spamming remote controlled missiles or any other gimmick battle that comes to your head. I think this game could've been a cult classic for this alone, but Nintendo didn't have the foresight to give it online. Oh well.
Just an amazing game all around please give yourself a favor and play it.
Editing this just to say I hate 64 purists for ruining this game's reputation.

I gotta own up. this game was my Goldeneye. we played hours of versus multiplayer with weird custom rules to the point that I cannot possibly judge it objectively.
The Single Player is kind of weak but that's just the story of Star Fox, a game which has failed to live up to what my imagination conjured the moment I was exposed to Star Fox 64.

The definitive Star Fox game. A lot of people hate on certain aspects of it, but I think it does well with everything. I wish there was even more on rails levels than there is. But I don't hate the other gameplay styles. This game has something that I can't quite put my finger on, it's like an arcade texture that I really miss from those days of playing in the arcade. So nostalgic, so polished. I miss him so gosh darn much.
If the new Star Wolf theme doesnt make you coom I believe you objectively have bad taste in music.
It tries to do too many things, and doesn't do most of them well. But this feels like it might be the last pure Star Fox experience. Plus that opening level chef's kiss.
The mechanics were arguably better than Star Fox 64 with more variety. Sadly the game was purely linear and there were only 10 levels or so.
You've gave to a real prick to put twin stick FPS controls in a game exclusive to a console with objectively the worst controller for that very thing.
