Star Fox Adventures (Gamecube)
On a cheerier note, I played through the first few levels of Star Fox Adventures today. It gets dissed a lot due to it’s easiness and repetitive structure (and I guess it’s guilty on both counts) but it has a nice game mechanic – it’s fun just mucking around in the world. One thing that did strike me – bearing in mind it’s over a year since I completed it – is how absolutely gorgeous the graphics are. I don’t seem to remember much of a fuss being made about the visuals at the time, but it really is lovely.
I’ve just noticed that Gamespot gave it 8.3/10 at the time – they’re just gone up a notch in my estimation 🙂 It can be picked up for next to nothing these days and, although it’s only about 10 hours long, it’s easily worth a few quid. I seem to remember I paid full price on release day and don’t regret it for a second.
