This was the only Star Fox I played for the longest time as a kid, I liked it until the fight with General Scales came up and it immediately became crap because I was so hyped to fight him for the longest time... only to have it be... that

I always assume this is the result of Nintendo fucking up Rare's game.

It's bad even judged on its merits as an action-adventure game, unfortunately.

I played through it a few years ago.

It actually starts out really strong but kinda tanks in the back half. It began development as a completely original IP called Dinosaur Planet before the Star Fox elements were retooled in and I think it honestly works better if you just imagine you're playing Dinosaur Planet instead.

Also, everyone says the Test of Strength is hard but I didn't find it difficult at all. I think I may have even passed on my first try.

Test of Strength is difficult if you're not in practice mashing buttons. Playing some Mario Party beforehand will resolve that.

Holy crap the graphics in SFA are legit impressive for 2002

I mean this in the least furry way possible - but Foxs fur looks

Actually all the colors and textures on everything really pop. The graphics, art direction, music, atmosphere

But the absolute best part is the shop keeper

This is the reason why I subscribed to Nintendo Power. There was an offer within the game to subscribe and get a guide for it, so I did. I don't remember what they said for that part, but it wasn't helpful. My parents gave me a turbo controller at some point, so I ended up using it once and for that specific task.

I liked this game a lot as a kid. I always say that I want to replay it, but I haven't been able to find that turbo controller, so I would hate to hit a wall again.

The rest of it is a mixed bag.

One thing I'll never forget about this game is climbing out of a river and seeing the snow from the bank edge fall off into the water. It was such a minor thing, but it completely dazzled me. This was one of the earliest games I ever played that had a lot of environmental details like that,

SFA is a bit of a guilty pleasure to me. Do I think its a particularly great game? No, but damn it has a lot of stuff that appealed to my child self so bad. Honestly, a lot of stuff about it STILL appeals to me. It really is visually impressive for a GameCube game and last I remembered, it holds up reasonably well.

Had to laugh at the Test of Strength talk though. I used to call my dad to beat it for me, both the Krazoa Challenge and the one in Lightfoot Village one lol

bad star fox game because it isn't one, alright exploration game, tried and failed to turn me into a furry with Krystal

I know I beat it because I vaguely remember the final boss, but 95% of that game is a blur. it's also one of the few games I have a guide for! I think I got it with NP or something

If it makes me a furry to say this is the best design Fox ever had and regressing to looking like an animatronic was a big mistake, then I embrace my membership to their community.

I don't dare play this game again because it'll surely tarnish my good memories of it (except for the Test of Strength, I would probably have an easier time with it now), but one thing I always return to is the soundtrack. Here you have legendary composer David Wise bringing his A game, and nobody cares because it's stuck in a shitty game. Really unfortunate.
