So, has anyone gone to see if their local Blockbuster or Hollywood Video has SF Assault available?

I might drop by after school today.

I have enough money to buy it, but it would definitely be nice to try it out.

I just watched the new videos on IGN, I think the game looks really great. Much better than those screen shots we saw a year or two ago. And IGN complains a little about the ground battles but those didn't look too bad either. They're plenty of enemies to fight. I'll be buying this for sure.

eh, the 64 version was too easy, i always had over 1600 (i think that was it) or higher when beating the game, and always had a bazillion lives....

i will enjoy this next one no doubt, IGN says "oh it's too much like the old one" and the other guy says "oh, there's not enough stuff like the old one"

blast.. ign is quickly turning into gamepro.... :-(

STAR FOX FOREVER!!!

Nope you're wrong, they said

"The same Star Fox we've all come to expect. Arwing missions rock, while ground missions suffer from sloppy control."

and

"While somewhat fun, Star Fox: Assault fails to impress. It lacks the originality, mechanics and style of a next-generation sequel. Playing through the game’s opening sequence will rekindle your love for the franchise, only to have it betrayed by the shoddy control and repetitive play of successive levels."

They also say that, like the other 2 starfox games, it's quite short...

7 out of 10

Kind of reminds me of the review of Rogue Squadron 3, where the flight missions were still great (although much of the same) and the new stuff they tried to do (foot missions) just didn't match up to the quality of the rest of the game...

Thats the problem with alot of critics like IGN. When Wind Waker came out, people complained it wasn't like the '64 version and praise the new one coming but then some will complain about how its nothing "original" or something along those lines.

When SF Adventures came out, people complained it wasn't like the '64/SNES versions. When SF Assault comes out, people complain its too similar to the '64 version.

ugh
