I'm a huge fan of Star Fox, and have bought every one of them without question. I hated Adventures, and didn't really like Assault, so I thought Star Fox was done, but when I got this one, I was pleasantly surprised. Please don't listen to the people who say they hate this game because it wasn't as good as Star Fox 64. This game was very good, with no major flaws.
Graphics: As far as graphics go, there's nothing wrong. In fact, they're quite good for the DS. Graphics aren't a big concern of mine in games, so I have no other comments here.
Game play: The stylus control is odd at first, but give it time. At first, I could hardly beat the first level, but now it feels great to play the game with it. The only problem is, that when I barrel roll, I feel like I'm scratching the screen, but it seems fine, but this problem still took a point off my score. As far as Wi-Fi goes, it's hard to find opponents sometimes, but that's about it. The single player is unique. It's strategy based. I may be biased here, because I like strategy games, but I really liked it.
Length: Long enough, but not the longest game ever, but, then again, I think that's for the best. When games get too long, they can get boring. Replay value is good, but it could have been better.
Sound: I liked the music here. There is no voice acting, but I didn't like recent Star Fox voice acting, so I guess it's not such a bad thing.
Story: Ah, the control the story, by which path you take thing. I love that in games, and It fits pretty well with Star Fox. The story isn't exceptional, but it's not bad at all.
Overall: Minor flaws in the game play make this game less than perfect, but still a great title.
Graphics: -0
Game play: -1
Length: -0
Sound: -0
Story: -0
10-1=9 Final Score: 9/10
Rent, Buy, or Ignore: It's certainly worth a buy for me, but it's a little different from classic Star Fox games, so fans may want to rent it first, to see if they like it.
