Star Fox 2 Impressions


The original Star Fox 2 is an unreleased Super Nintendo game that tried to expand on the original Star Fox by letting you transform into a tank. Now, after numerous follow-ups to the original Star Fox, Nintendo is finally taking another stab at an actual sequel to the original game in the form of a four-player multiplayer deathmatch game.

At the start of the Star Fox 2 demo version, you can choose from a handful of characters from the Star Fox universe, including Fox, Slippy, and a few others. The game actually starts with your characters on foot, armed with a laser pistol. The object is to take out your opponents, and as you run around you'll find various weapons to pick up. But the real prize is found in the hangar. If you can find one, you can hop in an Arwing and take the battle to the skies with the classic controls you'd expect from a Star Fox game. You can attempt to shoot the Arwings down from the ground, but the heavily armed Arwings can strafe the ground and attempt to gun you down with their powerful cannons.

While the air controls are what you'd expect from a Star Fox game, the ground controls are a little weird. Rather than use both analog sticks for a typical third-person shooter control scheme, the game uses the left stick to look around, but the R trigger makes you move forward. Other buttons let you execute sideways dives and other acrobatic maneuvers. Perhaps the final game will give you more control options.

Star Fox 2 will also have some sort of single-player component, but it isn't really being showcased at this time. We'll have more on Star Fox 2 when it becomes available.

that sounds kinda cool, but I want an actual new starfox instead of what this is going to be.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, i'd prefer a regular star fox game, but this one sounds pretty cool..

[Zelphiel]

maybe they'll show a little inovation for a change and make it an online game as well.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, that would be cool too. I'd get in an Arwing and tear you to pieces lathy ^_^

[Zelphiel]

what did I tell you about living in that fantasy world Johnny :chuckle

btw... what were the airwolf ships called... It seems like they had a name other than Arwing.

[Twilight]

the Star Fox adventures was ok but not really that fun..

[Zelphiel]

I never bothered with playing that one. It didn't appeal to me.

[Lancet Jades]

I got it for like $10 at a local game store, but never played it much...

It didnt appeal to me either

[Twilight]

i got it when it was 40... =/ the games was cool weapon wise but... gameplay wasnt too good i didnt like it

[Zelphiel]

was Slippie in it... if so I probably wouldn't have bought it. I hate him more than almost any other game character.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, i think he is...lol

[Dark Marmosett]

I played it and it was a good game at first but then it got a bit boring after a while. Hope this new game is better than starfox adventures.

[Zelphiel]

It's just his voice that I can't stand... Sometimes I'd kill him myself just so he'd stop talking.

[Dark Marmosett]

OMG...that was the biggest crack of thunder ever. Anyways yeah I did that once and a while but then I decided to turn the sound off to the tv so I couldn't hear his voice.

[Lancet Jades]

Lol, i never played far enough into SFA to have to hear slippy's voice ^_^

[Dark Marmosett]

Well then your lucky to not know it then.

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

I so excited this will blow that GC one away.. It will be like the first two starfioes

[Spartan God]

Well if its anything like the one for the GC...Hell no the one on the gamecube sucks, but i did like the one for the n64

[Setzophone]

i wanna play the new one frickin bad, but with anticipation like this I'll just be all the more happy when i DO get it.

[nightsavior]

i liked star fox adventures though it wasn't a "true" star fox game. at least this version seems to have implemented more aerial dog fighting.

[Setzophone]

yeah, adventures had more of that Zelda feel to it. I liked it but it had too many glitches for me...
