EricBall's Tech Projects - GCN Star Fox Adventures

[RSS Bot]

Although it's no Zelda OoT, I'm quite enjoying ripping through Star Fox Adventures.

 

the bads:

#1 Exit doesn't save, or give the option to save! (I lost an entire stage discovering this.)

#2 Very linear. There's one path through the game and very few (and very short) side stories. In most cases it's pretty obvious where to go & what to do.

#3 Although the manual seems to suggest a complex attack system, it really comes down to A-button mashing while wiggling the control stick. (Although it's far easier to freeze the biggest SharpClaws than to find that first hole in their defense.) Plus, there's no combat tutorial.

 

the goods:

#1 Save anywhere, anytime - although the restore brings you back to an earlier point.

#2 Hints from Slippy & Peppy for when that path isn't obvious. (Although this does make the game even easier.)

#3 Fox's expressions

 

I was able to pick it up for $10 (including shipping) on eBay. Definitely worth it at that price.
