Star Fox Command: The game that ruined the story.

User Rating: 6.8 | Star Fox Command DS
Despite what other review say, I think the strategy portion of the game works. The reason it was made this way was most likely to better suit the DS's unique functions. They play out like this: your ship starts in a battle field with at least 2 enemy bases, 3 or more enemy squads, and the great fox. You have to kill all of the enemys and make sure they don't get anywhere near Great Fox, or insta game over!

This is all good, but the thing is, It's just so frustrating fighting off, like, an army, then losing because a single ship managed to get to Great Fox. The biggest problem however, is the repetivity. Is that a word? Repetitiveness. No, wait...ahh who cares. Anyways, the game is so repetitve! You get more endings by playing through different levels, but the farther you get, the more you have to play the same level over and over. Trust me, the first level is the most annoying thing ever. This also ruins the strategy, as you've played the same level, you already know the enemy bases locations, and how to beat them.

The graphics are great, but the character designs suck. I mean, why does everyone look so weird? Especially the Great Fox itself. It looks nothing like it should. There was no reason to change it in the first place, but they did anyway. Sound is good, but some of the songs get annoying after a while. I suppose the replay value is good, but only because it forces you to play through it multiple times.

The story makes me angry. There are multiple plot holes and weird phrases. Such as...Star Wolf: "Cram it, fuzzy. We all got whipped. Take it like a man." Oh, and who could forget, Falco: "those bunch of greedy so and so's!"

Oh, the plot holes. Andross was the main SF baddy up until Assault. Well, Andross is literally a giant head and 2 giant hands. That was what made him cool. Well, apparently, he had *** at some point, and had a son or daughter. The guy doesn't even have a friggin' pelvis and he has a kid. Whatever. Then his son or daughter had a son, who grew up to be at least 17 in this game. Peppy, who was older in Assault, somehow married a woman 40 years younger than him and had a daughter. Confused?

Okay. In 64 Fox was about 18. In Adventures, he was probably about 26. In Assault, 27. Command takes place at least 19 years after, making Fox 46. What's really confusing, is Peppy. Peppy was probably 50 in 64. He was senial in adventures, which makes sense, because he was 58. He seemed to get less senial in Assault, even though he aged a year, making him 59. Now, in order for the story to make sense, Peppy would immediatly have to have a child, and was most likely 61at the time or birth. His wife was obviously younger, maybe even 20. That's a 40 year difference!

Anyways, Peppy has a child at 61, okay, fine, that makes no sense, but whatever. This makes Peppy 78 in this game. So, that means we've got this old fogey piloting the cornerian army. Ohhhh, crap. But this makes no sense, as Fox appears to not have aged at all, as opposed to Star Wolf, who seems to be slowly aging. At least I think he is, he seems to be growing an old dude beard.

In one sentance: This makes no sense.
