StarFox Assault Review
Normally, I only buy games when they are lower than $20. And that’s why it isn’t until now that I’ve finally gotten around to playing StarFox Assault and why I didn’t buy the newer WiFi multiplayer StarFox for the Nintendo DS.
So here’s the skinny on StarFox Assault.  Too much free running “on the ground” activity. Too little “flying on rails.” I can get the free running stuff in any 3rd person or 1st person shooter. I don’t want that when I play StarFox.
I want the quick-twitch star ship maneuvering space environment with meteors and lasers flying past my ship. That’s what StarFox has always been about. That’s how I want it to be now.
There is some of that in StarFox Assault. But there’s not enough of it. I hate haplessly running around as Fox, toting guns, not knowing the last thing I need to do to finish a level.  I love being on “rails” and knowing exactly what I need to do (I like knowing what to do and just having to execute correctly.
In any case, the game is alright, but I sure wish I had just rented it. The next game needs to be more focused on flying and less on the ground game.
