Pros: For old school Starfox fans this is a great game. It brings back the fun flying levels from the original games with new better looking graphics and sound. It has what made Starfox fun in the first place, flying around shooting enemies, dodging asteroids, performing aerial acrobatics, etc. The controls are solid in the Arwing as well as on foot and in the land master. There are different medals to earn in each level depending on you skill level as well as a fun multi-player mode. The story is fun and origonal and surprisingly deep and surprising at times. Unlike Starfox Adventures which failed miserably at have adventure outside the Arwing this game actually makes running around shooting enemies on foot a lot of fun. There's a special mini game and other unlockables to be earned for beating the game and performing well. Cons: The one real flaw with the game is that it is terribly short. If it had the multiple routes that Starfox 64 had it could have lengthened the game quite a bit. But to be honest you can probably beat this in just a few short hours. Also finding your teammates to help them can be a pain at times because your map could definitely be more accurate. Also power ups are definitely fewer than they used to be. Though a short gaming experience there's still plenty of fun to be had with this game. Ultimately the game is a must play for true Starfox fans. Not only does it adequately wash away the bad taste that Starfox Adventures left in all our mouths but it gives hope for what can be accomplished when they eventually come up with a new Starfox for the Wii.

The Star Fox franchise has always been a staple to any Nintendo console, but unfortunately it has been the same basic setup every time. This game, albeit executed excellently, reminds me of its N64- and SNES-based counterparts more than I had wanted. When you begin playing the game, it starts off in a giant assault on Oikonny's space armada. This is another rehash of Star Fox 64's Area 6; one rehash in a long line of them. The only change in most of the levels are the foot-based versions, where you can also get in a tank or aircraft and take off to help your friends in the skies. As a shooter, it's extremely awesome. The controls are uniform throughout, making everything a big "move and shoot" adventure. Having this type of fast-paced action in foot-based missions makes the game more enjoyable. Also, there is a hit counter on the top right of the screen that gives you extra hit bonuses for defeating enemies in multiples of ten. You also get hit bonuses for clearing the level quickly, and there are special conditions to meet in each level that unlocks extras in the multiplayer modes. The multiplayer modes play the same as the original story, but it isn't entirely exciting until you complete the hidden requirements. Despite the fact that the voice acting is bad and most of the levels are nothing but improved rehashes of older levels, Star Fox Assault is an enthralling fast-paced action/shooter. In this, it pulls off its intentions flawlessly.Read full review
Personally, I think this game is much better than its reputation would have you believe. Yes, you are on foot for a lot of it. Most levels consist of a mix of flying, driving a tank, and battling on foot. It’s not Star Fox 64, and was therefore dismissed. I’ve always found it to be a fantastic star fox game nonetheless. I think it’s healthy for games to try new things while maintaining the spirit of their predecessors.

Starfox Assault is one of my favorite games and the condition of this example is very good. It has humor, cheesy appeal, a high quality soundtrack, and a memorable story. I highly recommend this game for fans of the Starfox series. It's sad that GameCube titles are fairly expensive, but the nostalgia is worth it.

This game I feel is underrated because it doesn't get too much recognition but believe me when I say there is plenty of things to like about this film. The graphics, the Gameplay, the selection of weapons, the level designs, the variety of gameplay such as run and gun, driving a tank, or piloting an Arwing, and the music are all just some of the wonderful qualities this game has to over. If you ever come across it pick it up and play it. The Star Fox franchise needs more love.
