Star Fox Command (Nintendo DS, 2006)

My son just received a DS game system and wanted this game for Christmas. He loves the flying and shoot'em up games like this one.

I bought it for a friend for christmas. He says it took a while to get the hang of, but its good after you do.

Any avid fan of the Star Fox series will absolutely love this game. Utilizing the Nintendo DS touch screen, the controls on this game are out of this world. In this game you get to strategically move your ships using the touch screen to defend or eliminate the enemy. The sound is awesome and there is a neat little feature which allows the gamer to have his/her voice integrated into the game via answering questions through the DS microphone. This game also involves making character descisions which in turn change the outcome of the game.

Definetely not a waste of money. Awesome game!

My grandson loves this game for the challenge and action! He plays it on his DS and also owns the game for his Playstation 2 machine. This is a game rated E and good for ages 8+.

Our kids asked for the game and they love it. I want only clean games in our home and this one is one of their favorites.

This game has very simple and repetitive gameplay. It's pretty much just killing all the enemies in a small area. Though the areas do change slightly, it doesn't make much difference since your in a spaceship. It does have good 3D graphics, and smooth gameplay considering it is on a handheld. I would buy for twenty dollars or less. Definitely not the full thirty five.

I'll explain quickly I've never played any other starfox game, so this'll provide a good viewpoint for someone who is unfamiliar with/never played the series. STORY: You play Fox McCloud, leader of the fighter squadron Team Fox. In a nutshell the story explains how after Fox McCloud defeated Dr.Andross (previous head bad guy of other starfox games) the team disbanded. They must now reunite as a new enemy called the Angler now launches waves of attacks from planet venom. CONTROLS: First thing you'll notice is you control your fighter ship via stylus, the d-pad and A/B/X/Y buttons well..shoot. I have to admit, it felt a bit weird at first but you get used it surprisingly quick. Star Fox should definitely be commended for this originality and really takes advantage of the NDS' touch aspects more than any other game I've seen, makes the game feel much more interactive eg. stroking the stylus back and forward across the screen sends your ship into a barrel roll. Cool huh? GAMEPLAY: Most interesting thing is Starfox combines strategy and good classical shooting. At the start of each mission the Great Fox ship (doesn’t move, but launches all the fighters) any fighters you have, and any enemies (that are visible, some are hidden in “fog” in later levels) are mapped out onto a birds-eye-view terrain. You must draw a flight route from the chosen fighter using your stylus (since you have limited “fuel” you can only draw so far) to use up a turn. At the end of each turn all enemies and your own fighter moves, so if an enemy hits the great Fox its mission over. The aim is to intercept groups of enemy fighters. If you do a little window pops up showing the number of enemies (the whole thing’s very well presented) and you jump straight into 3rd-person battleship perspective. Not really much to explain about this part, it’s basically classical shoot-all-you-see. There are a number of items to generate by flying through a hoop (eg health, fuel) and because barrel rolling (apparently) generates a magnetic field you can suck in nearby goodies. A number of enemies reveal cores when killed, and a certain number are required to end the battle. Killing all enemies in a battle gains you bonuses like a missile for the Great Fox which can shoot down bad guys. After killing all the little enemy ships you then take on the enemy base, at the end of which you must try and bring down the mothership, by flying through beacons and then barrelrolling into the ship at the end. But this happens EVERY mission; so the main problem of Star Fox is it gets very repetitive, luckily though half the time you are so happy flying around and shooting stuff you don’t really care as much as you should. Good thing though is as you progress you gain more characters for the team each with their own vantages eg Fox has target lock, Slippy more bombs. GRAPHICS: 3D, so everything’s looking all crisp and nice. Terrains are mostly detailed too eg like corneria’s cities. However some can be pretty bland for instance one is just red sky, and enemies sometimes pop-up out of the background. SOUND: Nothing to really complain about here, all music sounds heroic and generally classic. Coolest thing is the characters all speak in a garbled language, and you can actually record your voice on the DS and implement it into the character's speech! LASTABLILITY: Very beefy cart - 9 endings for single player, multiplayer mode and Wi-Fi though at the moment really only U.S people/ importers have it.

Good price on the game, good packaging, and it came in a resonable amount of time. A little pricy on the shipping. Thanks!

When I first heard of this game, I thought it was going to be awsome. What I was hoping for was gameplay close to that of the SNES and N64 version, but it was nothing close. The gameplay consists of movint the ships around a map, and then engaging in small dogfights. Although I was disappointed, the game was still pretty fun, and it has multiple endings for replay value.

I used to play starfox on the Snes and N64, I've always been a fan of starfox and this game doesn't let me down! this game has tons of secrets and endings to unlock! It has perfect play time it lasted me a few weeks of solid play time! Great Graphics, audio is funny when they talk I laughed alot!

While I am not a gamer, my 11 year old son is. He loves the action and I love the fact that there is no profanity or violence. It is that reason why I am a solid nintendo fan. I have stayed with them from game boy, game cube, DS, and now the wii. I believe they have the best kids' games and they are made to last.

Cool Starfox game. i like the use of the ds stylius on the paths. all in all i love starfox games and was not disappointed

This game is a good throwback to the arwing shooter of SNES. The tactics screens are a nice addition to the shoot-shoot-fly-fly motif. The fuel cost is easy to learn and deal with. The only drawback is some ships not having normal shots (leon's comes to mind). Dealing with no lock ons is easy, but only lock ons is a little ridiculous.

Well, it's not the worst game ever, just really bad. The grphics are so-so, and the mechanics are crap. Starfox is not meant to be a turn-based straegy. Try not to pay more than $5 for this one.

Good Seller. Great to work with and VERY understanding when it comes to helping the buyer. Would look to buy more from them.

Thanks

One player is okay. It's cool to have Wi-fi dogfights!!! Nintendo did a good job with the online part of this game. Just wish they put a little more into the Story mode of the game. I give it a 7 out of 10. High score mainly cause of the online mode.

Ive been looking for this game and I couldnt find a better price! Didnt come with the case, but who cares. The games work perfectly. Thanks for the bargain!

Hop into a arwing and let the dogfight being. Go straight into a battle in story mode and choose your path as pilot. The game has many worlds to explor. When you've played the game and got the setting to your liking then take your skills online with the wifi;where the battles are fast.

this is a grate game for tha ages of 10+ there is action stradage and other cool thing about it you can play wi-fi aginst other people around the world and you can play aginst your friend for tranning and to get beter at the game




Senserly,

Product arrived very quick and in the way it was advertised, not a single thing different from the add... the picture wasn't very clear but the seller was very honest in telling me the real condition of the item and it really was as he said... highly recommended seller!!

Very fun game, graphics are good, and my little brother loves it!!! Reliving the N64 days. The story is very fun too. I think the gamplay is really challenging because I never used the touchscreen before, but I guess we'll get used to it.

great game to play after waiting a while since star fox 64. great graphics and awesome handling. i recommend this game for people who like going old school.

I purchased this ds game for a child who had heard about it from friends. he was very very happy to receive it and he says it is more fun than he ever imagined. There is nothing about the game that he dislikes. He's just hoping that this same game one day would be available as a wii game.
