But if you care THAT much about graphics, Star Fox Adventures is your game. If you care about gameplay, search elsewhere. Star Fox Adventures is one gigantic easter egg hunt, and it REALLY gets tiresome after a while. Right after you find 10 thingamajigs, you will have to find 8 knick-knacks, and after that... etc.

The music was complete blah, and horrible quality (maybe some of it was composed for N64, eh).

I love the music in Starfox Adventures, in fact its one of my favourite game soundtracks. The music is awesome. And Starfox Adventures is no more a collectathon than Zelda is (oh noes). The only complaints i have about the game are the combat, which was not deep enough, and there were some things in the game that looked either incredibly rushed, or purposefully screwed with.

Ramble off. Actually, I thought SFA had great music. It's one of the things Rare could still do then. But the game turned into another one of their collection crusades. The thing is, the whole Moon Mountain seeds or whatever (Purple C looking things) were totally and completely pointless, and it felt as if Rare was just trying to artificially lengthen the game. In Scribes, they touted SFA to be 100 hours long. Now I usually don't pay attention when people talk about game hours (it's totally subjective) but come on Rare. You don't need to lie.

That and it has those damned 'Tap A as fast as you can!" minigames, which I've ALWAYS hated (nightmares of Canary Mary from Banjo-Tooie spring to mind), so do yourself a favor and invest in a turbo controller.
But I digress. It does has some good features and you'll enjoy it while it lasts. You could do much worse for twenty bucks.

Okay game, but I never play it anymore. I never really liked Rare all that much, and I only ever bought the game because it was Star Fox. Later, suckers. Those fools can have ghosts and ghoulies or whatever.

It's a total collectathon. Now some people say that Zelda is the same way but in Zelda (aside from that dumb Triforce piece thing in Wind Waker) the items are useful. Most items give you a new ability or increase your maximum life and magic. In SFA you meet a character and before he will talk to you you have to find his three missing toothbrushes and then you tells you that you need to go to some world but there's a gate and they only way to open it is to collect the six magic feathers of lockpicking. I think Penny Arcade summed it up best: "Bafmodads?! Now you're just making sh!t up."
Playing SFA is like doing endless busy work. I loved Rare up to Conker but SFA was bad enough to make me completely lose faith in them.

But, anyways, this game is really underrated. I think if you give it a chance, it will be better.

Rumour has it that after having Namco work on Star Fox Monolith Soft will work on SFA 2 featuring 30 minute cutscenes for each item you find!!

He's pretty good. They vary in quality, but a great deal of them are funny. The expressions of the characters are best. . . Fox's, his face in the third to last panel, hysterical. Yeah.
