Love the Starfox series and by far, this one is definitely an adventure unlike any other. Aside from your typical shoot em up like Starfox 64, this one dwells more in an adventure type game, such as The Legend of Zelda. Great storyline! Cool graphics for it's time, and definitely builds a video game like atmosphere that really sets the tone of the game. Soundtrack is awesome and it's cool to see how day and night time pass throughout your adventure. Challenging puzzles, compelling story, and awesome character development. Go save the Lylat System!

Alright people, 1st off this is totally different than Star Fox and Star Fox 64. There are very few times you will actually fly the Arwing, and when you do, it's very short and not much detail. This turned off a lot of people, but I gave it a try, and wow, it is actually very fun. You will spend the majority of time on the ground, searching for the spirits of Krazoa and bringing back the Spellstones to repair Dinosaur planet. The game is very, very similar (actually, almost the same) to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in it's gameplay, fighting, and boss fights. You will wander around an adventure field, and go in to some areas that are very large and full of secrets on your quest. The controls are great, and the camera has yet to mess up on me. The graphics are very, very nice (especially for it's time), the gameplay is smooth, and it makes you want to beat it to find out the ending. This is a long game, especially if you don't go on the Internet and look up walkthroughs. There is a great mixture of puzzles, timed-missions (none of which are too hard to complete), and fights to keep you guessing as well. The only complaint is that the gameplay can get a little repetitive during the middle of the game, but once you get past that, you will enjoy finishing it up. If you can get this game cheap as I did on eBay, you will be getting well-worth what you spent. I'd give this game an 8/10.Read full review
If you're looking at this game thinking that it's like the original flight simulator game, then you'll be disappointed - until you play it, that is. Instead, Adventures presents a new take on the Star Fox character by presenting us with an adventure game that is much like a Legend of Zelda game. You'll explore various worlds, use various weapons and items, fight off bad guys and bosses, all while trying to conquer a mission and defeat a super villain. Along the way there will be people to meet, tasks to accomplish, enemies to smash and puzzles to solve. Basically, as I said, this is JUST like a Zelda game...if you like adventure games and if you like Zelda, you will love this game. The graphics are very good, the controls are easy (especially since there's a diagram in the corner of the screen), and it's just a smooth presentation. Some people might have problems with this because there can be a lot of back tracking or trying to figure out where to go next, but these little tricks make the game what it is. Again, this is JUST like a Legend of Zelda adventure game...just with different characters in a different world. What's fun is that it takes place on various planets and you're enemies are a race of dinosaurs. You will use some very unique items to accomplish your tasks, and your weapon is this magical staff which has a variety of powers that will help you on the way. If you like Zelda games, you will love this game just as much. There are some flying missions involved as you travel from world to world...but they're terribly easy and pointless. You'll have to avoid some astroids and such, some small fighters, but the flight missions are nothing like they were in the original game. Some people might be turned off by the addition of this little dinosaur who follows you around like a dog, but it's very cool. You'll control him and he is vital to helping you through the levels. He'll dig in certain spots, breathe fire, stay and hold down a switch for you...it's quite cool trying to figure out how to beat certain puzzles, using the variety of items and powers you have. The game is also pretty long and doesn't get too repetative with the exception of the ocassional backtracking. All in all, it's a great game that could have been an excellent game had the flight missions been better executed.Read full review
The game plays more like a 3D Zelda adventure title than a Starfox space combat game, but in that respect it's a pretty good game. The graphics were great for Gamecube's day and the game introduces Krystal, my personal favorite character of the entire series. The staff combat, while repetitive, is addicting and cool, featuring impressive and satisfying spins and twirls. The game follows the Zelda style to a T, complete with dungeon quests, village overworlds, a shop (featuring a memorable shopkeeper who you haggle with), and an annoying sidekick (surprisingly not Slippy). Oh, and speaking of characters, Falco doesn't appear until the very end. Ah well. The game does feature some space combat, but very little and nothing memorable. The staff is the game's main feature; you upgrade it with new powers as you progress. SFA's music is especially good, coming from the amazing team at RARE (the same group that did Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye 64, and Perfect Dark). While there are some obvious flaws in the game (there appears to be a boss battle that was removed at the last minute) overall it's a great title and worth getting for a Nintendo or Gamecube collector.Read full review
If you are a fan of Metroid, Zelda, and Star Fox this game is for you, if not look elsewhere as this game is not your typical Star Fox Game. I usually love adventure games and this is no exception. I love the style and the take on Star Fox as a whole. It builds the series to a more personal level. Slippy still sucks, and the flight scenes are fairly good. Overall I cannot stress how this is not a true Star Fox game when compared to the original or 64. However, it is a great game in its own rights so check out a youtube video of it and try it out yourself!
