I hated the hell out of StarFox Adventures, but I managed to enjoy my time with StarFox Assault. Is it the greatest StarFox ever? Hahaha no, but it was gold compared to the game that preceded it.

Instead of being a Zelda clone, StarFox Assault puts you back into the Arwing full-time. Most of the missions are fairly decent, but they don’t hold a candle to StarFox 64.

The tank parts were okay, I just wished it wasn’t so bulky to drive.

The on-foot sections are perhaps the game’s biggest fault. They’re not “bad”, but it just makes me wonder what were they thinking. I like the idea of variety, but if it’s going to be this lackluster then they shouldn’t have let me out of my Arwing.

I also enjoyed playing the multiplayer mode. Had some good moments against my brother in this one.
