So I just started playing this game and not having played starfox on n64 or no snes, I don't really have a bar to compare it to but so far it's been pretty fun.
The game itself is a lot like metroid prime hunters from touchpad control down to map 'navigation'. Fox talks with some robot dude for a while and then gives you a few options which I think are missions and when you select one, you see a tactical map showing the locations of enemy swarms, your main ship or carrier thing, and then your own ship. Basically, you draw a line from your ship in whatever direction you want within a given limit which i'm sure gets upgraded sort of like nintendogs or kirby. Then when you're sure, you press this big green button and it shows all the ships move, your own ship moving along the path you designated. If you cross paths with an enemy swarm, it goes into a battle mode where you control your arwing and shoot down a bunch of polygons.
So far, none of the missions have been difficult at all and they've been sort of monotonous. The AI isn't too sharp either so taking down enemies isn't horribly difficult. I'm guessing it might be like Mario 3-on-3 where the game is a breeze until a ridiculously difficult final boss but I'll have to wait and see.
One thing I do love are the voice dubs for the characters other than Fox. The frog and the robot dudes speak like animal crossing characters on some serious caffeine.
From gamefaqs, I've gathered that the online Wifi mode is the 'best' part of the game so if anyone else has this out there, maybe we can try it out sometime.
Does anyone else have any impressions from trying out the game?
