Good:
Missions on the ground are pretty fun. Good variety in enemies and guns and controls feel pretty tight.

Voice acting and model design is pretty good for what you would expect for a game from this era, especially Peppy's. Compare this game to Star Fox Adventures and the comparison is even more amazing.

Gameplay variance is pretty good. This game has the two types of arwing fights from Star Fox 64, plus pilot missions, landmaster missions, and arwing "wing" segments. Might be missing one or two but it's fun how much things were switched up.

Bad:
Arwing battlefield fights are ass because there will always be some enemy right behind you. Do a loop and kill them? Guess what, there's another one behind you already.

Switching guns at the end of a mission is tedious because you have to cycle through several guns trying to find the one you want, all while the fight is going on around you.

Arwing "wing" segments were a cool idea, but I feel like they could have been modified to be a bit more fun. You only have control over where you aim and whether or not you're shooting. With the amount of enemies coming at you in all directions and having your gun overheat pretty often, it often felt like you would take unavoidable damage (maybe I'm just bad idk).
