A good game that controls poorly.

I love this game. It was made before the age of twin stick shooters. And thus, by today's standards, it controls pretty horribly. Everything is inverted by default. You can change that though. Which, props to the devs on that one. You can mostly fix the controls. Except for the landmaster. It will always be annoying to control.

The game excels during the arwing missions. They are by far the best part.

An issue with the game as a whole is that it's repetitive. You get the same mission types over and over. The timers are a bit to strict but luckily if you fail, you can speedrun things since you know where the objectives are.

The worst part of the game are the on rail missions when you ride on top of an ally flying their arwing. They are very strict. It's not kind. It's very trial and error. They demand near perfection.

It's still a pretty game. It advances the Star Fox lore. Taking place after Star Fox Adventures. The story is neat. All in all, a good game.

If you are nostalgic for it, maybe don't go back though. I played a lot of multiplayer with friends when I was younger. I have a lot of good memories of it. But playing it now, I really saw the issues. This one might be better to keep as a good memory.
