| spurgeonryan said: At first glance it looks like they just made this the HD version of Star Fox 64, just with some level changes here and there. That is fine, no problem with trying to copy perfection. But then we get to the excitement of the original, which this does not seem to have. 1. What is this? Everyhing is sooooo slow! Enemy ships hover around like they are trappd in syrup. Flying around the second sector fees like the main point of the level is to test your patience waiting to get to the end. I thought I won the game when I finally made it to tne last ship in the debri field. But that was not the end, and sadly I think only the begining of a tedious game, did I hear that the director quit or moved on? No wonder! His name will be linked to this forever. How do you get this so wrong? 2. Controls. Everyone has talked about it for months, is it a surprise? It really gets bad with the horrendous walker mode, but that was not the start. It started when I had to slowly take out maybe a dozen Snes era looking spiders before they ate the general that looks somewhat like a dog in the first tedious level. Motion control was an idea that must have been thought up in one of Miyamotos nightmares as a child. Done terribly in this game and sadly the only hope of even finishing this game or having any enjoyment with it. If I do not spend hours mastering these horrible controls then this 62 dollar purchase will be wasted. When we talk about difficult controls we think of the last Kid Icarus game. Right? But this is on a whole other level. There is no technical learning curve, just a learning curve in dealing with poor control design. I know they wanted to bring back the spirit of the N64, but poor controls could have stayed in the past.
I hope I grow to enjoy this game, but so far, besides the cute characters and actually decent visuals in most cases, I do not enjoy it.
Please Star Fox do a barrel roll and shake off the FUNK! |
Been a while, so let me be blunt. Spurgeonryan, nice to see you're as opinioned and a pain in my ass and everyone elses as always.
You can do 1 of two things(at least the most likely of what everyone else does).
A. Give away the game( either trade with a friend, sell through some company initiatives like gamestop trade-ins or however you want to get rid of it.)
B. Master the game controls, be the best of everyone and take leaderboard.
***C. Hate yourself for getting the digital version.
But either way, as a gamer, if you bought this game, you already knew the risk. The game to me(and trust me, I've played since SNES) is a welcomed iteration no matter how it deviates. Certainly not perfect, but I'm glad it's around. Haters!!!
