Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Nintendo don’t usually drop the ball when it comes to sequels, but after the awful Star Fox Adventures and Star Fox Assault, the crew of the Great Fox have had a real struggle to remain relevant in the last few years. This new game though is by some of the same people behind the SNES original and the first successful attempt to drag the series back to its roots. The original Star Fox game was the closest any one has ever got to transposing the 2D gameplay of old school shoot ‘em-ups such as R-Type into 3D. As such all the levels were on-the-rails with tightly scripted enemy formations and set pieces. In this game though most of the missions allow you to fly in any direction (similar to all-range mode from Lylat Wars), which will still annoy fans – although at least all the action is restricted to your spacecraft for the first time in several sequels.

The controls for your craft actually work extremely well, with all movement achieved via the touch screen, combined with the button of your choice for shooting. What also works surprisingly well is the new turn-based strategic elements which frame every mission. These allow you to not only map out the movement of you and your allies’ craft but also fire and repel missiles from your mothership. To top it all there’s even a six player online mode – although like previous Star Fox games you do all end up just flying in circles the whole time. Overall though this is just enough to call of the hounds from what at one point seemed a very endangered franchise.

- one of the best flyers-no wait-one of the best lookers-ah hell-one of the best games on ds ever.
i bought this game a few days ago, waiting for medal of honor 2 and ferrari challenge to pop through my door, and hell am i glad i did.

the graphics are absolutely amazing, incredibly silky, smooth and fast, and swooping inbetween buildings to get away from the enemy on your back, then screaming throught the underground tunnels while barrel rolling, only to swoop out and blast you opponent out of the sky is to die for.

the action is fast paced and very well laid out. you start a mission on a map basicly, and you have to plot your craft(s) courses through the map, taking out enemies on the way, defending your mothership by destroying incoming missles (which can get slightly frustrating later on, but still doesent ruin ...

- Good but...
I bought this game as the idea of being able to control the spaceship with the touchscreen controls seemed really interesting and appealed to me. The controls are a good idea and after a little experimentation (you get a training programme at the beginning and you can return to it for more practice) you get the hang of it.

The game in itself is quite good fun, with a nice storyline - even if the dialogue is a little on the cheesy side! The only downside to the game is the giving of save points only after a mission has been successful. In practice this means that you can have struggled your way through half a dozen individual fights in a mission and then fall at the last hurdle only to find that to have to go through the whole thing ...

- Fun and boreing in equal parts, fine as long as you get it cheap
I'll address this review to 2 groups: people who've never played a Star fox game before and thus bring no emotional bagade to this game, and those who fell in love with the francise back in the SNES and N64 days.
Let's call the first group "the lucky ones".

Ok lucky ones,
what you have here is a mix between a 3D sci fi shooter and a turn based strategy game. Not a mix you usually find which makes this a fairly unique game. You and your enemy take turns moving your troops around a map then once they engage the enemy you are treated to a 3D flying and shooting section in an enclosed area which you pilot via the touch screen (instead of the usual automatic animated battles, ala Advance Wars).
Inbetween missions there are ... Read More:

- Not lylat wars DS...
When you get the game, remember this, it is not lylat wars DS. In fact forget the whole thing is star fox, and leave your mind open to the new ideas it brings. The strategy elements suits the Star fox series really well, and the stylus control is near perfect. The online dogfights are pretty cool, and is so much fun I play I almost forgot to check up on my Animal Crossing town. The main game is pretty decent, although rock hard and really short. The graphics are impressive, some of the best the DS has seen. The fights aren't too bad, but the computer is very good, providing a challenge but making it a bit more boring.
Overall the expierience is good, but not astounding or ground breaking as past Star foxes' were. Worth a week of playing.
