    While certainly not perfect – the game is short and could have benefited greatly from LAN or online multiplayer support – there really isn't a more versatile arcade-style shooter for the GameCube system.

    I miss Fox's awesome fur mapping, but I guess getting Krystal as a permanent team member makes us even. [March 2005, p.59]

    It's easily one of the most unique and entertaining multiplayer choices for the GameCube. [Apr 2005, p.131]

    Everything that is good about the game (the flight missions, the refurbished musical score) stems from the original Star Fox. What Namco tried to do with the on-foot missions makes me wonder why purists are arguing that the series hasn't evolved enough.

    Far from being the next generation of Star Fox game.

    From a value perspective, you're dealing with a feature-film's worth of content for fifty bucks. Independently wealthy, rabid fanboys might want to check it out, otherwise we'd leave this fox to the dogs.

    Incredibly underrated; they do something different, fanboys will hate in every way shape or form. I don't give a damn about your nostalgiaIncredibly underrated; they do something different, fanboys will hate in every way shape or form. I don't give a damn about your nostalgia boners; it's different, unique, and still fun. I don't care if these foot sections reappear; I'm more than happy with them. Throw in a pre-apocalyptic atmosphere, amazing Arwing sections, graphics that'll knock your socks off, and an orchestral score that packs a punch; we have what I believe to be Star Fox' greatest adventure. 64 not withstanding.… Expand

    Star Fox: Assault is a really fun flight shooter game, it has a great story and a nice challenge. The multiplayer is also fantastic. The gameStar Fox: Assault is a really fun flight shooter game, it has a great story and a nice challenge. The multiplayer is also fantastic. The game also tries new things by allowing you to fight on-foot and enter/exit vehicles in the map such as Landmasters and Arwings. There are tons of unlockables such as new characters, weapons, and maps for multiplayer, adding a lot of replay value. The soundtrack is spectacular too and really sets a space opera mood to the game. My only gripe with the game is that the default control scheme is a bit clunky, but the other ones are much better and easier to play with.… Expand

    This is a really fun game ya its not the traditional star fox game with the on foot missions but those are fun too.One big thing people isThis is a really fun game ya its not the traditional star fox game with the on foot missions but those are fun too.One big thing people is that its 50% on rails and 50% foot missions which is not true because in almost all of those on foot missions you can get into a landmaster or airwing to help out you friends in the air.Dont get me wrong the game is not perfect when your on foot the camara can be a little bit of a pain but that rarely happened to me.The story is very good it has new enemy called the aparoids which are bugs that can take over robots and machines. The story does take some sad moments which im glad they did.when i wrote this its this games 10 year aniversary so happy aniversary.… Expand
