    An awesome game. Tonnes of fun to play and the strategy aspect of it makes it different. Great graphics and music. The only thing I didn't like are the sappy parts of the story that revolve around 'love'. It gets really corny at parts and annoying. Especially some of the stuff Slippy says "Krystal just wants to be with you Fox, forever and ever!" Like Slippy knows An awesome game.

It gets really corny at parts and annoying. Especially some of the stuff Slippy says "Krystal just wants to be with you Fox, forever and ever!" Like Slippy knows anything...he's just an ugly frog with an ugly frog girlfriend. The fact that the story has all this talk about relationships makes it seem like they're all horny or some crap....would have been better without it and if they just focused on beating the bad guys. You really get tired of it. Actually it's just Slippy and Amanda that are annoying cause they're the ones that say the sappy crap. Panther's romance has a sense of humour to it which I don't mind and Fox & Krystal don't say anything straight out much. All up this is why Falco's the best cause he doesn't talk about all that stuff...he's focused on the missions.… Expand

    The steering is perfect, the strategy elements are great. I think it is one of the best DS games, a lot better than Animal Crossing and on the same level of Metroid Hunters

    This is one of the best DS games to date. A great handheld experience! After a couple of so-so GCN appearances, Fox McCloud is BACK BABY!

    This title is truely refreshing! Finally, Fox and friends are back on a fantastic game with action and strategy. The controls took getting used to, but when you've got them down they feel very natural. This is my favorite DS game right now.

    Among the DS games that make use of the stylus, this one controls smoother than the rest. The first half hour of gameplay is a bit clumsy while you get used to it, but everything else -graphics, plot, level design - falls into place seamlessly. Pick it up before the winter DS rush starts!

    A solid, if somewhat lacking, DS title. The controls are responsive and tight even though having to lift the stylus to do loops, adjust speed, and shoot bombs can get cumbersome in a middle of a firefight, and it makes you kind of wish you could use the d-pad instead. Sadly, there are no linear rail-shooting levels here, replaced instead with a map where you trace your pilots' flight A solid, if somewhat lacking, DS title.

Sadly, there are no linear rail-shooting levels here, replaced instead with a map where you trace your pilots' flight routes in an attempt to clear the area before your turns and your time run out. If you're expecting Starfox 64, prepare to be disappointed. However, the strategic element is interesting, and while the single-player is too short, there are multiple endings to unlock. The multiplayer is sparse, much like the Starfox 64 version except the DS version only has one game mode. Starfox Command is good in its own right, but when compared to the SNES and N64 versions, it leaves a lot for improvement. Here's to hoping we see a meatier sequel from Nintendo.… Expand

    Star Fox Command is overall one of the best DS games I have. Not the perfect game but it is high on my list. It has good graphics for a handheld, the controls are GREAT!, and the gameplay is just fun the stratigy part gives it something new, the timed part makes it exciting. The story is kind of corny and the ending is worse. But overall it is a GOOD game.

    It's a tough one! But it's fun. I love how Nintendo loves to make you come back to the game to keep unlocking stuff! In this case, you'll be coming back to see all the endings. And let me say... it's HARD! The strategy aspect with the touch screen is fun. Get this one!

    How to make star fox on a portable system? Well nintendo's answer is this and it's an A+ well A- cause it ain't perfect. Does have what star fox games have. This is a good and fun game that I recommend.

    The 3D shooter launched on the SNES makes its way to the DS with a mild strategy element where you must plot the fighters' routes and engage any enemies that threaten your command ship before destroying their bases. This makes for a winning mix that gives the shoot 'em up formula a little more depth and makes for one of the best games on the DS.

    A great looking, fast paced action shooter if not for the strategy element in between but, in my opinion its always good to have something new and the maps offer a little challenge when you first play them. [JPN Import]

    The combination of classic and new elements makes it the most wholly satisfying Star Fox game yet. [Oct. 2006, p.88]

    The Star Fox fighter squadron returns in this solid flight combat game, which distinguishes itself with its strategic elements and well-designed touch-screen controls.
