Is this worth picking up? I'm feeling the Nintendo nostalgia bug these days.

All the ground missions suck and the flying levels aren't nearly ass good as the n64 version

The ground missions are the nails in the coffin. See, when I first played them, I didn't have too much of a problem; my initial train of thought was "oh, these are harmless little side-missions to break up the flying." Hoo boy was I in for a surprise, as I guess about eighty goddamn percent of the game IS ground missions.
Be wise and rent it!
Its not dog shit, but not very good either.
Flight missions are , Ok
On foot sections are boring and easy.
Its just not worthy of the name Starfox (whatever is left of it)
Nintendo nostalgia fix...
Get some players choices instead:
Mario kart
Mario sunshine (Best 3D platformer!)
Super smash brothers Melee.
Fzero GX
Kirby air ride (I really like this game especially the multiplayer city mode!)
Or be wise and buy a Gameboy player and some awesome GBA software!

SFAdventures is worth playing through just to check out all the environments... I think...

if you have a PS2 pick up Ace combat IV! Same team and much better game.

It's sad that I kept progressing through the game to see what nifty looking water mass would appear next. Of course that means I practically jerked off to the water palace area, with the large transparent cylinders of water. It was quite nice. Too bad the game, otherwise, is pretty boring.

Eek guess I'll stay away. Thanks. I had and sold Smash Bros., but maybe it's time to re-buy.

you guys do good work! the worst possible thing is to spend some time replaying the n64 game and then pick this up thinking it can't be that bad. <cries>

The ground missions are actually the best part (Sadly).

Depends on your baromaeter.
Is it a good game on its own? Yes.
Is it as good as Star Fox or Star Fox 64? No.
Of course, I can say this about any Nintendo franchise these days.
Rent it, but don't take anyone's "yes" or "no" advice on forums. heh. It's definitely average, but I know quite a few people who, for whatever reason, think it's great.
The on-foot stuff isn't very good, but the flight stuff is fun. So just rent it and decide for yourself. It's definitely one of those games where you need to try it out yourself.
And without a friggin' doubt pick up Star Fox Adventures since you can get ti for $15 at EB.com, maybe less somewhere else. It's DEFINITELY worth $15, no matter what the haters might say. Very underrated. Beautiful game, and the gameplay is fun. Flawed, but for $15...

I don't really care.
I don't see how someone could think this isn't worth $15. Even if you don't like it, it's not unplayable. The controls, graphics, and music are great.dlobro1080

Seriosuly, the first Star Fox and Star Fox 64 were both incredible, incredible games. Everything I hear about Adventures and Assualt is that they were both sever diappointments. Kind of reflects how I feel about Nintendo this generation. On each previous Nintendo system, they pushed their franchises in new directions. With the exception of Metroid, they didn't really do that this time, as far as I can tell...I guess that's why Revolution could be very exciting, if they live up their talk about how they want to innovate how we play.

ASSault sucks.
The music is definitely the highlight of Assault. Very well done. Other than that, the game fails as a Star Fox title. The flight missions are the best part of the game but they don't feel right. The Arwing doesn't carry the same weight as it did in SF 64. It controlled much better in SF 64. Also, the on-foot and landmaster sequences, although not a bad idea, were executed poorly. The controls ruin those sequences.Mashing said:
