Quick question... can I change the language settings on the game or do I have to change my system settings?

You can, you just have to press start before the skip message disappears.
You can skip every cutscene in the game (The N64 version let you skip all cutscenes as well, except for the ending/credits)

Sry but 45 for one hour? (one playthrough)
Never, Nintendo, never!
I must say that I'm not someone who enjoys replaying the same missions again and again.

What do you guys think of the game so far, overall? I'm thinking of picking it up sometime.

Expert mode better retain Fox McCloud's inherited sunglasses, can't wait for some wing destroying expert mode.
I have yet to try score attack, any difference to the standard missions?

"What's the big ideaBillychu said:I got 330 on it yesterday but accidentally shot down Peppy
I'm trying to remember the best way of getting points for area 6, should I be focusing on those disc like spacestation things and the big enemy cruisers near the end? they are worth a lot of points but then the amount of enemies buzzing around could be more worth my time, well the brakes will be getting plenty of use.
OK, I just started playing this game and tried out the training mode. The controls took a bit to get used to (used inverted flying and type B), but became quickly acclimated to them. The gyro mode works alright, but I think I'll stick to the traditional controls.
As for the training raccoon's new voice, he sounds an awful lot like this guy:

Gamespot wasn't really good with console game reviews back in the 90's. They were mostly about PC games, and segregated their site for console games. Most of their console reviews back then sound troll-ish as well.
Besides, Gamespot is mostly all-new people now, so you can't tell if they played it first or not.

If you are buying star fox 64 for the length of one "play through" then you are doing it wrong.

It's definitely short, but how long does it take to play through any action game from the pre 3D era? (pre PS1) They were all short in playtime. What they had though was replayability because of higher difficulty, and highscore tables. SF643D is too easy at least from the start, the first playthrough goes fast, but you're unlocking stuff and there are different routes to play so unless you aren't really liking it you won't even think about stop playing after the first playthrough.The perfect Dark said:
There is multiplayer too, you can play with a friend (even though he/she doesn't own the game, using the Download play function) which is quite fun.

What's this N64 mode people keep mentioning? Is it just a control scheme or can you choose between the reworked graphics and the original game?
I haven't picked this up yet but I'm pretty excited. The only thing I know will annoy (and some others have already mentioned it) is that this game really needs an extra shoulder button so you can brake and shoot at the same time.

Of all the reviews to base a purchase on, you pick the one where the reviewer doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. The replayability comes from discovering new stages and branching paths by playing the stages differently than on the first playthrough. If you do everything then it's an 8-10 hour game easily. Hell, even the final stage is different depending on which path you come from.

Haha! Yeah, since he said right in the post you quoted, "They have the same graphics," I'm guessing you might be reading him wrong.qq more said:
Figured it was something like that, I didn't see anything in trailers about an N64 graphics mode. Would have been a nice addition though.
StarFox is one of my favorite games, so I'm probably just going to go ahead and get it today or tomorrow, but I wonder how it's selling and whether it would be worth it to wait. I didn't think Devil Survivor Overclocked would be featured in too many sales but Amazon had it in a "Buy One Get One Free" a few days after it came out. I'm sure I'd get $40 worth of entertainment out of it as it's one of those games I just get an itch to play through every now and then, but I bet I played through the game over a hundred time easy as a kid, and it feels weird paying $40 for a game I know inside and out.
Ah, interesting. I really can't wait to get my hands on this remake. I'm really impressed that Nintendo managed to get all of the original VAs (minus Falco afaik) for the remake. I really hope SF643D is a new reboot and they make a true sequel and pretend crap like Adventures, Assault and Command never happened. :>Billychu said:

I was finding it impossible, and then I remembered that the bank turns still work when you are spinning.Billychu said:

You dont know shit.
By playing all Star Fox you mean adventures, assault and command?
Becuase that is not playing star fox.
And assault is shorter than 64.

Never did get all the medals in SF64. I think Solar, Zoness, and Sector Z were the ones I couldn't get.
