Starfix'd?

[A Black Falcon]

Graphically the game was beautiful, sure. But the actual gameplay was mind-numbingly boring, the story was TERRIBLE and really made no sense, some of the ways it had been cut back from Dinosaur Planet obvious and sad, the combat unbelievably dull, and more. DK64 didn't do it, I still like that one, but somehow this one finally convinced me, Rare really did like collecting too much.

I know I've said it before, but really a big part of the problem was how linear it was. I mean, in a DK64 or something you usually have several things you could be doing. But in this one you just need to collect everything in order, and you're collecting like three different sets of random items. It all seems so pointless, particularly with such stupidly easy puzzles and combat... and it's not fun either. (The bosses are fun sometimes, but that's not enough to save the game.) I quit playing partway through the game and don't think I'll ever finish it.

I don't know if it's actually a BAD game, though. I might just consider it average... just one of the most boring, tedious examples of average ever.

I definitely think Dinosaur Planet on the N64 was looking much more interesting. Nintendo shouldn't have forced Star Fox on the game. But yes, I definitely agree that the rest of the problem was because of how the game had been rushed because of the sale of Rare, etc. They just wanted to be done with it...
