There were so many things that could have made this better.
User Rating: 7.4 | Star Fox Command DS
Star Fox: Command is an action/strategy game and is the debut appearance of Star Fox on the DS. The Star Fox team has split up after defeating Andross but now the Lylat System is under attack by the Anglors, who very much resemble Aparoids for Star Fox: Assault. You start out with just Fox but soon will find Slippy, Falco, and Krystal. Other characters will show up for a mission or two like Lucy, Peppy's daughter or Amanda, Slippy's Fiance'. Each mission is broken down into strategic battles where you draw flight paths for your pilot(s). Sounds like a nice twist to the casual shoot em' up right? Not quite. These strategic maps are boring and have some definite problems. You have a certain amount of turns to finish your objective. These turns disappear quickly and unless you can get more by defeating a mother ship it's game over. You also have a time limit for how long you can stay in the air. This wouldn't be a problem if each fighter didn't share fuel. Since when do 4 fighters share the same source of fuel? The way to win each mission is to defeat all enemies and get their cores. No it isn't enough just to shoot them down but then you have to get their cores? Lame. When one of your pilots meets with a group of fighters you enter combat. There are usually 20-30 enemies in the combat zone but you are given the tedious task of hunting down just a few of them and getting their cores. This takes up much and doesn't give you the feel of flying around and blasting all in your path. This makes flying not so fun. The story is really dumb. Old enemies of Star Fox will suddenly show up for no reason and attack you. Perhaps if you didn't finish the game in 30 minutes they could have come up with an interesting anf fun story. But don't count on it. At least the graphics are nice and everything runs pretty smoothly. Well I was disappointed and I'm sure you will be too unless you are in love with Star Fox. If you aren't, don't buy this game.
