Is this real? Star Fox handheld?
First thing you notice is the GRAPHICS, they are really sweet - the enivronments are superb, the ships look great...everything looks great - well almost. The cut scene character models look retarded, and the expressions stay the same...odd to see when someone is sad and they still have that same blank expression... but that's just a minor quirk with it. The remaining graphics are nice also...we'll get to that right now......
GAMEPLAY in Star Fox Command is different than what you might expect. This is a mix of RTS and open mode fighting sequences...all controlled by the ol stylus and one button. And you know what? It works pretty good. It is a bit wierd at first to play the RTS breaks inbetween fights, but after a few levels you get into it and start to see the level of involvement and planning you can carry out - nice touch that doesn't bite you when you first get the game...but it does get you. Flying in all-range mode all the time is a bit distracting at first, because each level has a timer...run out...you lost that turn and a ship! At first this can keep you from relaxing and enjoying the levels, once you get more comfortable with flying and attacking - you'll really enjoy the levels.
WiFi works great, I don't think there is alot more to say about that...you find 3 players and engage in a 3 round fight. OH NOES!!!!! There aren't alot of these here, but there are a few. Real Estate for flying...this crops up in one of the MANY missle chases...you gottat remember to center the stylus or you'll try to steer and find you've got no room on the touchscreen causing you to 'lose the missles trail' - - - - - the story is retarded (period) granted star fox never had a stellar story (no pun intended) but this is like something from a ceral box. Online fights - if one persons either quits or gets dropped - the whole match is over....O...K. :|
End results an experience with this Command is very good - highly recommend the title, it's alot of fun and has alot of replay value to it by the branching paths. Not the best Star Fox title, but pretty good - better than I thought it was going to be.
