Star Fox Adventures is the choice of a true GCN owner. You can't beat the graphics, it's so vividly detailed! Everything in the game is so realistic like the shimmering waters, the beautiful landscapes, the plants, and even the fur on Fox (which is using fur rendering technology)! The music is by far the best I've heard in any GCN game. The voice acting was very well done, and also the sound effects. You'll just simply be amazed with everything about this game. Though, I see a few people here already putting it down when they haven't even played it at all. As they say, you should never judge a book by its cover. Who knows, you might start liking it sometime. :)

Overall I can safely guarantee you 100% that Star Fox Adventures will be one of the best gaming experience yet, and therefore highly advise you to order. For those who think otherwise, you might want to get your head checked. Order it, order it NOW!

Unfortunatly, not many games that have appeared on the Cube can rival the graphics of Starfox Adventures. Take on a totally different adventure, compared to those seen in Fox's earlier titles. Dinosaur Planet is in trouble and Fox has come to save the day!

Graphics 5/5 - Wow! The lighting, shadows, colors...everything. This game is so realistic. I felt like I had been transported to an animated movie. Watch out for the weather effects, they're awesome.

Sound 5/5 - The soundtrack is great. When Fox is in trouble you know it...when the situation changes so does the music. Well orchestrated.

Control 4/5 - Pretty solid. I hate the controls for shooting with the power stick.

Gameplay 4/5 - Plays like Zelda. Uses a similar button setup. I do have a complaint. The boss battles are dissapointing...I expected a little more from the end...but whatever...the game's still good. Oh yea...the stick that Fox acquires should do more during combat.

Overall Fun Factor 3/5 - Great fun playing the game but replay factor is not so great. You gotta find hidden stuff but aside from that maybe some multiplayer stuff could have given it a boost.

Buy or Rent? - Buy It.

Fox is at it again, except this time he's passin' up his Arwing for a magic staff.

Star Fox Adventures has nice graphics, and well done dialogs. The combat is good and allows the player to use 4 different combos that, I have to admit, look pretty cool. Star Fox, however, lacks what other GC adventure titles have.

As you play through Star Fox, you'll realize there is absolutely no "X" factor. Everything in this game has been done before. The game simply lacks any and all inovation. Even some boss fights get boring. Boss starts to charge, knock it down, throw a bomb at it, repeat. IT HAS NO "X" FACTOR.

Even the plot is tired. Hero starts solely for money. Hero finds girl. Hero decides to fight for girl instead of just for money. Hero saves girl. End. Where's the creativity?

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has sailing, the deku leaf, islands, the cell shading, and one of the coolest final boss slayings I've ever seen. Beyond Good and Evil has photos, the hover craft, an ingenious plot, and conspiracy. Star Fox Adventures has Fox McCloud on foot.

3 stars = A decent adventure game. Nice graphics, good combat, good dialog. Lacks the "it" that makes GC adventure games so great. For the $10 - $15 dollars for a pre-used game I'd say go for it, but don't expect a break-through masterpiece.
