I mean... yeah, it could be good. But to be honest, I'm getting such strong Star Fox Adventures vibes from it that it's hard to get enthusiastic about. I feel like I've already played it, and it's mediocre.
I'm not even sure why SFA was so underwhelming. It seems to have all the ingredients of a good game. I've heard the arguments - well, it was written as one game, then ported onto another system, probably rushed, and was the last big game just before Rare got sold to Microsoft, setting expectations high...
Okay, but... more specifically, what makes it a bad game? I honestly can't remember, just that it got boring after a while. I think I eventually lost steam when the game put me on some tedious mini-quest that I needed to complete before proceeding to the main story. I feel like the combat system was underwhelming and monotonous, but I can't put my finger on why. There's something vague about why the game sucks that I can't quite divine, which feels frustrating.
