Review
Fox McCloud is back, but he’s left the on-the-rails, shoot-'em-up
larks of his previous two games behind--this all-new Star Fox adventure sees
the super furry animal in a very Zeldaesque bid to save Dinosaur Planet.
Although the control system is very similar to The Legend of
Zelda's, Star Fox Adventures is no simple clone. It’s your job as the
mercenary mammal to find all the spellstones that will rejoin the splintered
planet and defeat the evil General Scales. This entails much exploring of
ancient temples and completing of subquests to help everything from
Yorkshire-accented woolly mammoths to pterodactyls who've lost their babies.
The game may lack the epic scale and endless invention of
Zelda but it has plenty of new ideas of its own, including a fully
interactive dinosaur sidekick, some cool shoot-'em-up sections in Fox’s
spaceship, and lots of ways to upgrade a magical staff--your weapon of
choice when out of your ship. To add some icing to the cake, the graphics
are absolutely amazing, particularly the superrealistic fur effects.
