All I know about this game is you get to play as Peppy, Slippy, Falco, or Fox in the Arwing, Landmaster tank , or on the ground. The StarWolf team makes a comeback also. This is probbaly going to be more like Starfox 64 but longer, better, and with enchanced graphics. It has a 1-4 player story mode and from what I heard there will be a PS2 and Xbox version also.The extra controller slots will be required for PS2 3-4 Player story mode. Hopefully this game will be more of a sucsess then the older games.

Sequel to Starfox Adventures is here!

I have saw the box for this game and from what i saw on the back it looks good. The review above mine is correct from what I saw on the box except i think you can play as Krystal too. For those of you that have the Starfox Adventures game, you know what I am talking about. I am not quite sure if it is exactly a sequel to Starfox Adventures, but its the same kind of game. The only difference I think there is is that you can play as different characters than Fox, its multiplayer, and you get to do more missions in the Arwing. It looks good to me, I hope my review will be helpful to anyone who reads it.

At E3, the game was shown, and it looked like it was a lot more like Star Fox 64 than SF Adventures. Anyone who liked SF 64, will like this game

This is the fourth Star Fox in the series, I have and love them all so I don't think this one will be an exception.

I decided to write this review to clear a few things up that the other reviewers said that I know isn't true or they didn't put in enough.

First there is no chance that this game will come out on PS2 or XBOX because Star Fox is a Nintendo Franchise.

Secondly I'm fairly sure that you'll also be able to play as the girl from Star Fox Adventures.

Also I believe that they are sticking to the story and going along with the first three.

¡Falco is back!

The Return Of Fox McCloud

Nintendo has always found so many creative ways to revamp a lot of their classic games to the maximum. That definitely hits the mark very well most of the time. Back in 1997, when Nintendo 64 was popular, and with so many games to take it to the limit, Star Fox 64 was the most revolutionary game not just for the system, but defined the feel of vibrations that made you feel the game, thanks to the N64 Rumble Pak. Yet, Nintendo has tried to make lightning strike twice for the Star Fox franchise for quite sometime. They've tried it a few years ago with Star Fox Adventures, fairly well, and now it is about to be done all over again.

Star Fox Assault, the latest game in the Star Fox series goes through ten outrageous missions that take you on foot, in the air with the arwing, and in the tough landmaster tank. The story of the game deals with Fox McCloud and his team who try to destroy the plague of aparoids trying to destroy Corneria, Fortuna, the dinosaur planet from Star Fox Adventures Sauria, and so many other outrageous galaxies in the way. The graphics and storylines are remarkably delightful, and maintain to the game far beyond the previous Star Fox games.

The gameplay is great, but there are a few downsides to the game. One of them is the control of the game, especially on foot. If you haven't played Star Fox Adventures, it might be a little tricky at first to control Fox, Slippy, Krystal and Falco on foot in versus mode, and Fox in the story mode. However, it gets a lot easier along the way. Another disadvantage is that the methods of defeating some of the bosses in the game are ways of defeating similar bosses from Star Fox 64. One example is the Pigma aparoid in Level 5: The Asteroid Belt. The method of defeating him is a similar method of defeating the Area 6 boss from Star Fox 64. So for some, it does lack a few challenges here and there.

Overall, Star Fox Assault is a very delightful addition to the Nintendo Gamecube lineup, and is a joy for longtime fans of the Star Fox Series. I honestly recommend this for truly dynamic sci-fi Fox action. This is no aparoid of a lie.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game rocks! It's a great continuation of the StarFox 64 game. However, unlike Star Fox 64, there are fewer on-rails missions (i.e you fly the arwing on a preset path). There are 3 aspects to this game: on foot, in a landmaster, or in an arwing. The on foot is extremely fun, although you'll find that the characters move too fast for manuevering in tight spaces. There are TONS of different guns, most of which are insanely powerful. Also you can jump, and roll left and right.
The landmaster is not as fun as the on-foot or Arwing missions, but still, it's useful for anti-aircraft times in multiplayer, or even single player. Instead of that weird machine laser plasma ball thing in Starfox 64, the gun on the Landmaster is a cannon, which suprisingly good against Arwings. It moves pretty slow, which isn't useful in the chaotic, fast-paced multi-player.
At last. The Arwing. This HAS to be the MOST FUN aspect of the game. The Arwing looks a lot better. It still has the twin and then hyper laser upgrades, but one better thing is that you don't have to collect two one-level-up upgrades, but instead you can get a two-level-up upgrade. Very useful in single player and muliplayer. You also ride on the wings of teammates in single player, which happens to be extraordianrily fun.
Single Player doesn't have a very appealing storyline, but it's still fairly well done. Basically, you go around and kill these Aparoids, bug like creatures that can take over machines (except your arwing & landmaster). The missions are pretty simplistic, but still extremely intense, even on Bronze level.
Now Multiplayer is the reason to buy this game. It rivals Halo and Timesplitters. With huge maps and weapons everywhere, the multiplayer is awesome. And that's without the billions of things you can unlock (which I won't tell because they're so awesome ;p). And one of the best things is that you can ride on top of someone's arwing while they're flying it. Or, if it's just 2 vs match, then you can get out of it while it's in the air, and shoot people on the ground. Sadly, there's no capture the flag or other styles; only deathmatch and team deathmatch.
So to end, the graphics of this game are average, obviously an improvement from SF64. The sound is superb. Excellent remixes of previous Sf64 songs bring nonstalgia to veterans of the Sf64 series. Remember, get this game, don't rent it.

Surprisingly Addictive

I had read a lot of reviews from different magazines and websites, and they all said that this game was going to be pretty average, with an average rating of about a 3 out of 5. I decided to buy this game any way because I am a StarFox fan (and I kick butt with him in Super Smash Bros.).
Boy, am I glad I did. This game is super addictive. Especially the multiplayer, but more on that later. To focus on the single player mode, it is a easy game. No matter what difficuly setting you put this puppy on, the missions are pretty simple and easy. And unlike a lot of people, I enjoyed the simplicity. It makes the game fun (though I cannot say that about all games). I liked the controls. You have three options to choose from controlwise, and I chose the one named Single Stick control. This controls is similiar to Metroid Prime.
The weapon you start out with (a laser gun) is pretty weak. So if you JUST use this gun, your going to die. Their are lots of weapons to choose from. You may be wondering: what weapons? Isn't this a space ship game? Yes. There are three different types of game play aspects. They are: on foot missions, arwing missions, and landmaster missions. IF I had to choose the weakest of the three, it would have to be the landmaster. And that is only because the other ones are so darn fun. (Okaaay this review is a little longer than I expected) The story is pretty good. Not the best story around, but pretty good for a Nintendo game. The voice acting is OK. I hated Slippy's voice though and I always have (and probably always will).
Ok, now on to multiplayer. This (to me) is the meat of the game. It is a 4 player split screen battle. You and 3 other friends can plug in controllers and duel it out. Trust me, you'll have one heck of a time. It is so darn addictive. You can have certain vehicles (arwing, landmaster) available to you on certain levels. All you have to do is press "Z" and you hop onto your vehicle. So, you have many options. You can take it to the air, keep it on foot, or have your big, powerful landmaster do all the dirty work (the land master can runover someone on foot). And on foot, you have roughly about 12 weapons available to use. Some of the levels in multiplayer are pretty big. My personal faves are the Sauria level and the "just on foot level" in the space station.
The game is not without its faults though. The sound of each boss exploding sounds just like the N64 StarFox. The graphics are good, but look jaggy in some areas. Lastly, it is very hard to see enemies. This is especially a problem in multiplayer mode.
Yes, I'm finally done. I seriously recommend you AT LEAST rent this game. Buy this if you can-just for multiplayer mode. PS2 and XBOX owners miss out on this great game. I hope this review was helpful!
