Star Fox Adventures Preview
Star Fox Adventures was originally to be released on the Nintendo 64, but was delayed over and over for about a year until finally it was announced for release on the GameCube. The wait, I’m sure, will be worth it. This gives Rare a chance to make the graphics and gameplay even more astounding than they already look.
From what I know, the story takes place about 8 years after Starfox 64. Fox finds a magical staff that transports him to a prehistoric planet infested with dinosaurs. The leader of the planet, General Scales, sends a troop of dinosaurs out to get you. Seem logical enough?
It seems that Rare will not skip on the action. That’s pretty much a guarantee. You will do everything from swimming and riding dinosaurs, to flying your Arwing and using magic! You will even have a new sidekick named Tricky, a triceratops that is sure to help you out along your mission, whether its by digging up useful items, or guarding and distracting harmful enemies from you.
After watching some movies and looking a lot of screenshots, I’ve concluded that if you like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or Zelda: Majoras Mask, you’ll love this game, as it plays using the same 3rd person view, and what I’m guessing is the same types of controls, and yes, that does include the automatic jump!
Final Score: 7.5
