Why People Hate Star Fox Adventures 

Honestly this game is so aesthetically beautiful and I loved how it went away from the typical space shooting.

I hate the fakeout with General Scales at the end. They should have just left him as the final boss. The fact you don’t get to fight him at all is the worst part of the game.

I can’t hate it

Don’t know who these „people“ are, but I love the game.

I really want to remaster this game in Unreal Engine as a lesson. at least the open world sections....

It was meant to be an entirely different game, and they just decided to stuff the Star Fox brand into it for no sane reason. Why??? It's such a retarded move. They could have done so much to follow up on the previous game's story and gameplay mechanics, but they decided to do this instead. I don't like Krystal or Sauria. They don't fit the Star Fox world. Krystal should have at least been overhauled to feel more inspired by Thunderbirds characters like the original cast, instead of... whatever pervert's fantasy she was likely based on.

In what world does it take 2 hours to beat SF64

It’s an ok Zelda clone. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Starfox Assault was the ultimate let down. Turok Evolution has more flying sections.

If this game came out as Dinosaur Planet at the end of the N64's life. You can guarantee people would not be shitting on this game. They would be calling it a hidden gem and bitching and moaning about how expensive the game is, especially if it's CIB.

When I played this game as a kid I didn't view it as a star fox game, but rather an adventure game as the title suggests. And as a huge Zelda fan and adventure games, it was right up my alley. I played Star Fox 64 before it and I still had fond memories with Adventures. I wasn't looking for it to have huge amounts of star wing sections, the adventure was all it needed. I'd say it succeeded at being an adventure game. But yeah the combat does suck and so does Tricky.

Star Fox adventure was my first star fox game as a kid, and I honestly loved it. So much fun, amazing music and story. It was a shock to me when I found people disliked it in the JonTron video. I loved everything from the music, graphics, story and gameplay. Sure, it's far from perfect, but in my opinion it did its job and did it well.

I absolutely loved this game, this got me into gaming

I really like Starfox Adventures. The environmental design in the game is one of Rare’s best. Accompanied with David’s amazing music like Cape Claw, Lightfoot Village, and Dragon Rock and several other tracks increases its immersive qualities. The game should have stayed as Dinosaur Planet, as we would have gotten a bigger, more focused, and overall better adventure game. I am just glad that the community is fixing up Dinosaur Planet and I hope they can get it to a fully playable game so we can get our hands on what could have been. Anyways great video! I always enjoy seeing you upload!

People are dumb. Adventures saved Star Fox with giving the characters anything of a personality beyond memes.

The problem with Star Fox Adventures was the move to Gamecube. It caused the developers some unexpected headaches because the seamless level loading system used on the cartridge based N64 did not transfer well to the disc based Gamecube at all. Debugging Tricky, the AI controlled dinosaur sidekick was also a nightmare from what I read. Resolving these issues took up a lot of the dev time. This along with the upcoming transfer to Microsoft meant that development had to be rushed near the end to get the game working and out the door in time. That's the reason Krystal as a playable protagonist was (mostly) scrapped and several areas, key plot points and gameplay elements from Dinosaur Planet didn't make the cut. And why we see so many explosive barrel puzzles as filler material to pad out the game's length. It's still an enjoyable game and features fantastic graphics for its time, but it could've been more if development hadn't run into these issues. Many of Dinosaur Planet's whimsical characters and the beautiful soundtrack by David Wise are still intact. I think a lot of the criticism surrounding SFA came from Star Fox fans who expected a space shooter, a worthy sequel to Star Fox 64, and got something completely different instead. The game would've been received more warmly for what it is had it stayed as its own IP.

Because it was wasn't marketed as a spin off like it should have been

0:26 respectfully...do more research on Fox McCloud and the lore of Star Fox bcuz Fox isn't just a pilot, his occupation is to get missions and go get the job done for money which this game had him do, in the comics Fox didn't even have his Arwing UNTIL the Lylat Wars bcuz he needed it (stated in 1993 comic) before the war Fox was fighting hand to hand and using his blaster

"It's a good game. It's just not a good Starfox game" The same was said about a GOTY award winning game around 5-6 years ago...

I really think that if Rare would have based the Starfox IP on mechanics similar to Jetforce Gemini, y'know a game that has guns in it and focuses on collecting new weapons and abilities and flying from planet to planet and also focused on defeating an evil emperor that led a massive alien army, I think it would have been received better reception from fans, but that's just my opinion

Despite its flaws I still love this game. It has one of the few game worlds with a furry protagonist with which you can enjoy wandering around and progressing at your own pace, because of how good the atmosphere of the environments are thanks to the visual design and music. Sure the gameplay is mediocre but Rareware absolutely nailed aesthetics. Some people found escapism in World of Warcraft back during the 2000's, but for me it was this game.

I'm SO SICK of people hating this game!!!!! This is a really good game! It's one of the few games in the series that is lengthy, And even though it doesn't have traditional star fox game play, It offers more on foot game play in the entire series and allows you to really get to see fox! Besides, Fox is so fluffy and handsome in this game! He even has a sleeveless vest, so we get to finally see his fluffy arms!

Its my favorite star fox game

You mentioned Andross and General Scales, and I thought it might be worth sharing that the Dinosaur Planet ROM leak re-contextualized some things about both games. General Scales has always been intended to act as the game’s red herring; the twist that there was an even bigger, even badder villain behind Scales has always been the intent. Before Andross, it was Drakor and the moral ambiguity of the Krazoa. I just mean to say that a lot of people wag their finger at Nintendo for, per your words, “shoehorning” Star Fox into Dinosaur Planet and while there is truth to that sentiment, I think it’s also worth acknowledging that Dinosaur Planet, unburdened by Star Fox, still had some fundamental story weaknesses that make it easier for those who don’t know better to point the finger at Star Fox, and Nintendo. All that said, I genuinely love Adventures. I have such peaceful nostalgia of playing that game and while it’s by no means a perfect Star Fox game, I still really enjoy it for what it is, and for the memories it has provided me. Thank you for being objective but fair with this game... It’s really rare (heh) to see someone not completely dismiss this game.

Star Fox Adventure is the best Game in Star Fox History. Nintendo where is the Remake or Remastered Version.

Even just hearing the music brings me back real good memories

Star Fox adventures was the 3rd game in the whole franchise. the 3rd game. The previous 2 games took less than 4 hours to complete total. People are acting like Star Fox was a 30 year old franchise at that point that had dominated its genre. I played Lylat Wars on the 64 and Star Fox adventures on the Gamecube and loved them both. 'It's not a Star Fox game!' Star Fox had barely established itself as a game at that point.

I do remember a random RU-vid reviewer complaining that the staff combat in Adventures gets boring or repetitive after a time, so that makes sense. Recently I got Adventures for a decent price while retro hunting for my GameCube, and honestly, I'm having a decent time with it so far. I remember seeing screenshots for the game before release and being excited, rather than going 'This isn't Star Fox 64/Lylatwars, so it looks too different or bad'.

I remember seeing this game for years picking it up almost every time to read the back and never buying it because of how hideous it looked i still remember how good star fox assault looked by comparison I ended up buying assault and I still love that game

Best starfox game ever imo. Assault was okay but the story and visual effects on Adventures was so badass. All the other starfox were bad imo. Then again people complain about everything that's good. So in the end if you guys hate it is all up to you guys. But for me Starfox adventures is the best starfox game we ever got.

Less than a Starfox bait-and-switch, I felt like it was a Rareware bait-and-switch. I went in after enjoying BK and DK64, but it was just a linear game masquerading as a semi-open-world platformer. Arwing grievances are legit, though. Also, there are too many different kinds of collectibles and they all have whacky names. Like, just call it a Life Medallion or whatever, instead of a blipblarp or whatever it was...

The game that started it all.Starfox Adventures for the Super Nintendo.

It’s not a bad game people are stupid they don’t know anything about video games that’s the problem and is fantastic this game and I still have star fox adventures and assault

Why does everyone keep saying Nintendo forced Rare to make Dinosaur Planet a Starfox game? Nintendo couldn't force Rare to do anything they didn't want to. Nintendo was a minority share holder in Rare and the Stamper brothers were the majority (Stampers 51%, Nintendo 49% if I remember correctly). In fact it was agreed upon that Dinosaur Planet should stay on a Nintendo platform because half of the Rare staff were concerned what Microsoft would do to the game during the buyout. The best way to make the game stay with Nintendo was to add in their IPs. The game developers said this in interviews. I believe it was Phil Tossell that said most of the decision making was that of Rare, Nintendo pretty much left them alone and only checked in on them from time to time.

Whoever these people are, they probably don't know about Command... Man that was a disappointment.

No one I knew hated this game! Some people preferred the old style star fox game but no one hated it. Very good game that I wish I could play now. And that idiot that says it's not a star fox game....um...it is smh. Imagine his mom wore something she doesn't usually wear and simply because she doesn't look like her normal self I just told dude " hey that's a good lady it's just not your mom" lol smh.....

Back in the day: The game sucks, to much walking and not enough space fights! Today: I hope a new starfox game would have more walking and not just space fights.

I know that Dinosaur Planet was obviously planned during the N64 days, but I think it's as simple as Nintendo wanting another adventure game with its own IP in case it thought Wind Waker's cel-shading and cartoony graphics would put people off buying it.

first donkey kong 64 now this game? Peoples view of this game changed because people over the years got older and severely depressed seeing most good as bad, gravitating to it like a bee gravitating to its working place. Calling a game good, but not starfox is fine, calling a game bad is fine, but calling it good and then over years calling it bad is twisted and it has more to do with peoples inner struggles that the game itself, the game didn't change, people did and their perception all together.

This game is awesome. Top ten for sure.

I don't know man. That one Star Fox game for the DS was pretty god awful.

“A Zelda clone and not even a good one.” I’ve played through every single officially licensed Zelda game and that couldn’t be further from the truth. SFA easily hold its own among Zelda and is, in my opinion, *even better* than a few of the major 3D Zelda titles. But I do understand why traditional SF fans don’t like it. It’s just not a SF game. Similar to how so many Zelda fans gripe about BotW because it was too different from what had been established in the series for years prior.

This game was innovative in so many ways. When I play games like horizon forbidden west or zero dawn it feels like it never would’ve happened without adventures idk

Ima have fun with these comments

I liked this game as a kid

Best Starfox game ever made, all I’m saying.

Actually, at this point, I'd say Star Fox Zero takes the crown from Adventures in being the most divisive title. Because that one is a *THIRD* remake of the first game (after Star Fox 64 and Star Fox 64 3D) and has a noticeable drop in quality compared to the previous titles. Star Fox Adventures, at least everyone agrees, is a game in the classic mold of N64-era Rareware titles with that patented Rareware charm and quality and a solid Zelda-clone format, a genre that historically was pretty sparse (with the only other notable ones before Star Fox Adventures being Golden Axe Warrior on the Master System, Crusader of Centy, Landstalker, and Beyond Oasis on the Genesis, and Alundra on the PlayStation). I noticed you forgot the energy shield ability Krystal's Staff has, that adds at least one more combat action to Star Fox Adventures.

The real question everyone wants to ask is, when does Star Fox Adventures 2 come out?

People are blinded by nostalgia for Star Fox 64 and get mad whenever Nintendo tries to do remotely anything different with the series, which is why the last two Star Fox games were a 64 remake (3D) and a 64 re-imagining (Zero). In all honesty, Adventures and Assault were the best Star Fox games as they tried to advance the series forward rather than rehash the same things we’ve seen before. As for Command, the terrible controls sabotaged what could’ve been a good game.

Why can’t people just enjoy things and stop looking for things to complain about!? It had Krystal, the games eye candy. Good story that people still write fan fiction for.

I like this game. It's good but not a great 7-10. General Scales needed a proper boss fight. Talk about an anticlimax to a somewhat great villain. It's nice when star fox has different villains. I am bored of Andros coming back for more pretty much every single game. It's more of an adventure game and that's why I like it. Also it gives the chance to Starfox to do something different. The combat feels similar to Beyond Good and Evil. That game has simple combat and very few people complain.

PUUTTTTT THAT BACCK, YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH SCARABS

Just going by the title, I'm not sure if anyone really "hates" Star Fox Adventures. If anything, it seems to be considered one of the stronger games in the series, especially when compared to the games that followed Assault (Command, Zero, etc.). The forced gimmicks of the Nintendo DS and Wii U hardware, in tandem with Zero's focus on retreading the same ground already broken by Star Fox 64, seems to be what has led to the IP's dormant state that is currently ongoing.

It was my first Star Fox game and i have fond memories of it. was it the best nah But i liked it. The complains are defiently fair. Thanks for the video. Also i am confused i din't turned out a furry...

The thumbnail got me triggered... this game did NOT ruin Star Fox, instead Nintendo ruined this game and also Star Fox by forcing Rare to make it a Star Fox game. Imagine if Ocarina of Time was changed last minute into an action/adventure Mario game, and then they never made another Zelda after that. That's basically what Nintendo did to Rares new IP.

One of the best games of all time

WHAT?! This game was FIRE!!

Despite the game’s various problems I still really enjoy it. I have a lot of nostalgia for this one. In fact it was my first Star Fox game (Although, Assault is my favorite. Let’s hope those rumors about Nameco remaking Assault and/or other GameCube games is actually real. They’d be able to improve the graphics, controls, and other things while keeping the original game intact. I’d hope they’d also add online multiplayer, more playable characters, and new maps to the multiplayer. Something else I’d love to see but doubt would happen would be for them to add in some side missions with Katt, Bill, and maybe the few good characters added in Command showing Corneria fall to the Aparoids, having that fleet get decimated before it goes home, and some of the other battles. They could also have a few missions from the perspective of Star Wolf showing how they escaped, and other things they were up to). Admittedly, the Arwing sections weren’t good, the lore doesn’t fit like at all, and the game was rushed. But, like I already said I’m able to look past these flaws and judge it as it’s own thing (I do the same for Doom 3, and oddly enough I actually prefer that version over the normal Doom). Too bad the Microsoft buyout combined with Mini Munchkin forcing Rare to make it a Star Fox game robbed us of the masterpiece that was Dinosaur Planet. Thankfully the build leaked last year and people have been turning this borderline unplayable buggy mess that crashes all the time into something that approaches Rare’s original vision. Hopefully they’ll be able to get in contact with some of the old talent to figure out how certain cut sections were supposed to play out and make replacement assets from broken stuff. I’ll be sure to play it once it’s near completion. I really liked how you brought up Okami. That’s definitely one of my favorite games. Too bad they haven’t made an Okami 2 (yes, I’m aware of the ds game, and I really liked that one. I just want a proper next gen sequel). Something that’s really cool is there’s this guy called Esphirian who’s making a reimagining of Adventures. It’s going to be like BOTW where you can do the objectives in any order you want. Krystal will be along for the journey with the ability to swap characters to deal with puzzles and enemies that require Fox and Krystal’s different abilities, as well as having her relationship with Fox develop throughout the game. Andross is dead and it’s just a military alliance between Scales and the Venomian remnants. The Great Fox and it’s crew will have a much larger role in the story. And we’ll learn more about Krystal’s origins and connection to the Krazoa. So far there’s only been 3 trailers and a dev log. Unfortunately he hasn’t released any demos/playable builds because it’s nowhere near complete, and he doesn’t want Nintendo to strike it. Videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JGEGPeO_RX0.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4WJeCsYPlHc.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tiuC9EU3tyE.html, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5eHLRyUysaQ.html. There’s also this other fan game called Star Fox Event Horizon being made by UndyingNephalim. It’s a reimagining of the 64 continuity that uses elements/characters from all three timelines/reboots. It’s a mod for Freespace Open so it’s completely free. Unfortunately the engine doesn’t allow for on rails sections or jumping in and out of vehicles like in Assault. Luckily the gameplay is really fun and he somehow got ground vehicles in an engine meant only for space combat. The madman even got in contact with Estelle Ellis Krystal’s original voice actress and she’s going to do voice work for his mod. She narrated this trailer that has the newest build in the description (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gP_eJomGGUw.html). Check both of them out.

The enemies in store Fox adventures do not even attack you LOL... The game felt so empty and shallow

I get why people don't like this game, but I don't think that justifies calling it a black sheep. That's just people hating it because it's not what they wanted.

Stairfax Temperatures, a classic.

I remember I loved the game... but it felt like I was playing a Zelda's Isekai or something, not a Star Fox game. I was expecting amazing aerial action with the power the game cube could achieve, bigger levels, impressive enemies, fast paced action combined with the vehicle variety and on foot missions, like a great update to StarFox 64, but got a beautiful Zelda like game instead (yeah visually it's very pretty haha), with some splashes of StarFox in it, I still like it XD

It really didn't it expanded the starfox universe. My generation loved it.

The game was good. Star fox fans that complains are just cry baby.

Fun fact, actually: This game was praised when it was new. By critics and fans alike. And sold nearly two million copies on an underselling console. It was only around the early 2010s that suddenly everyone decided it was irredeemable garbage no one ever liked and should be wiped from canon.

From my time spent in the StarFox community, albeit still with some strong division within it, Adventures seems to have been embraced by a lot of fans, a lot more than it used to be anyway. If those screencaps are recent, than all those comments you took from what looks like reddit were from 8 years ago. That was quite a long time ago don't you think? 8 years ago was 2014 and people were hyped for StarFox to go back to its roots with Zero. And then Zero came out, and now the StarFox community has started to embrace the sequels a bit more. Especially since Zero was exactly what some people wanted in a monkey paw sorta way, and StarFox is very unlikely to continue because of how much of a commercial flop Zero was. Tell me again which game ruined StarFox?? lmao From my own personal experience, I never played Adventures myself until after I had played Zero. Adventures was far better. I can't believe Zero was what people "wanted", lol. I thought Zero was by far the worst first party Nintendo game I had ever played by a wide margin. Do that disasterpiece next.

I knew this was easy and basic when I played it as a kid with my brother. We still talk about this game today. I still revisit this game. Sometimes simplicity is bliss, particularly in a crazy world like today.

Personally, I feel it's not simply this game, but what came after that made it divisive. Assault was more third person Halo than Star Fox 64, and Command wasn't going to fill that gap either, so Star Fox Adventures gets to retroactively be viewed as the game that began the trend of taking Star Fox away from its core game play. If it was followed up by a Star Fox 64-2 I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

I think this game does deserve another chance but as a remake entirely.

May be an unpopular opinion, but Starfox Adventures was honestly my favorite entry into the series. Assault was fun too but was a bit clunky. The original formula is too boring for me, and being a Zelda fan, it was a welcome change for me. Some preferred it to stick to the arcadic gameplay, and thats okay. But I don't think its realistic because Starfox was trying to evolve as the technology did. I loved the adventurous feel of SA, but also, Rare really did have a great story despite them having to swap in the Starfox IP. I loved the characters and getting a glimpse into the world a bit more.

This video is honestly the only bad review I've heard on Star Fox adventures

This game has a special place in my heart. Got it got my birthday and had soooo many great memories playing it. I'm a huge Star Fox fan and I just appreciated the bold new approach. My only complaint was the disappointing build up to the final showdown with General Scales.

Somebody hasn't played SF64 and doesn't know there is also a submarine...

getting a gamecube with starfox assault and adventures as kid is one of my most favorite memories. i remember the first time playing starfox adventures and struggling a lot with the darkness in most of the sections and the overwhelming tasks thrown out at once. it really is a small game but feels like a large open world experience. i still preferred assault over adventure like everyone else.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful GameCube games (which is impressive given how it was released only a year after the console's release) but playing it, I could tell it was rushed out by rare before they had to jump ship to Microsoft. It lacks polish in several areas. I think it would have been better if they kept it strictly as Dinosaur Planet from the beginning and having both Krystal and Sabre playable with the swapstones.

5:43 out of place? Bruh to anyone saying this Fox literally uses his Arwing to fly to different planets, there was no war so he had no need to fight in it

Oh sure, I DEFINITELY agree with the sentiment that because the “formula” of this game is different from most Starfox games, it’s a “bad game”. No consideration was taken to account for the fact that 64, Assault, and Adventures had on-foot combat sections (Starfox 2 and Zero’s Arwalker was similar to this too), or the fact that the boss fights of this game are gargantuan in scale like most Starfox games. Also, Bill gates of Microsoft is responsible for the “incompleteness” of this game due to him shorting Rare and crunching their employees to rush the game (it’s a fact, you can look it up), NOT Shigeru Miyamoto’s decision to turn Saber into Fox. In Addition, you forgot to mention the Staff’s shield ability, Tricky’s flame command (which can also be used in combat), and the many cut beta abilities (like the rapid-blaster, the grenade, and the sledgehammer), the freeze blast, the Sharpclaw disguise, the rocket boost, and the portal spell to name a few. While the game doesn’t require you to use the different attack moves (the staff spin, front flip, and kick), you gradually learn them and they add a nice “flavor” to beating the Sharpclaws. In my not-so-humble opinion, the on-foot sections of this game are better than the Arwing sections because you get to learn more about the character of Fox McCloud and see how he can save the day without a vehicle. Falco was going to help Fox beat General Scales’ armada in the Walled City, but that got cut, in addition to Fox saving Krystal from Galdon in Dark Ice Mines early-on, and she was going to be FULLY playable 50% of the game. I wish Nintendo would make the rest of characters playable on-foot in a future Starfox game, but it looks like we won’t be getting that any time soon. This game did not “ruin star fox” but is instead the greatest Starfox game of all time. It just didn’t get to see its fullest potential come to fruition (possibly the greatest GAME of all time) and that’s sad.

I think it goew beyond that, as someone who isn't familiar with the Starfox franchise I thought this game was going to be enjoyable but it just wasn't. Poorly phased world exploration and extremely linear. Having very long hallways to connect difrerent areas making backtracking a lot more annoying than it had to. Puzzles that are confusing and poorly explained (probably because the game was rushed) A very, very slow character with little means to teleport at will to the different areas of the main planet (you woukd think he will use the arwing but nope) making it unnecesarily tedious, and it's weird because OoT and MM shpuld have shown how inmediate teleportation to save time was extremely important for those games. The Arwinfs sections are so small and short they might as well not be there, they just make more annoying to traverse from one planet to the other each time you have to go somewhere, and they aren't actually fun so it ends up only harming the game. It ruins the phasing, it task you with something repetitive and boring and its there for no reason other than calling the game a Star Fox game and not just because of the character. The inventory management is extremely basic and can be annoying because. Only think you have to pay attention most of the time is magic and mushrooms and the later felt added just to have something to collect instead of something more natural for the gameplay like different kinds of ammo for the fire rod and the other abilities. The combat (which was addressed in the video) The characters are not appealing and uninteresting, even getting to the point of being annoying, and I'm not talkong about Tricky here, I'm talking about Fox. I haven't played any traditional Star Fox but even I can tell his personality was ruined. Selfish, uninterested, arrogant and pretty much just an asshole who is saving the planet not because he wants, but because it's his job. That kind of protagonist can work and Rare has done it a couple of times with characters lile Kazooie (in a lesser degree) and Conker (in a more extreme degree) but Fox? He feels like and asshole and that's it, nothing to do with the portrayal from the original games made by Nintendo. The rest of the cast are either assholes or bland NPCs that only task ypu with stuff in the most artificially and videogame-y way possible. It feels closer to a Conker sequel with those characters and gross humor that popa from time to time than a Star Fox or Zelda game really. I do think the complains pointed out in the video are correct, but they do not show why people begin to call it a bad/mediocre Zelda clone. I think the problems I pointed out suit better those complains. Eirher way, if anybody likes the game that is perfectly fine, I wanted to love it because it was the final game Rare made for a Nintendo console (not handheld) but I just couldn't because of all of those problems.

Was my first SF game. BUT, I want a future game to pick back up where Assault left off (I dont consider Command being canon) in the canon timeline and focus more on the mercenary aspect of the team. You pick and choose what jobs you wish to take on as you go. Have the ability to level up your wingmen to make them more competent and deal more damage, customize your Arwing, and maybe add in some Mass Effect tier story telling too. We need to see more of Fox and Krystal's romance, we need to see more of Falco's sarcastic personality. We need to see the nerd side of Slippy doing work in the backgroud. We just need a good Starfox game in general to replace Command with how awful that was. That 4K Ray Tracing 60fps collection of 64, Adventures and Assault can wait.

For me, I'm not a Star Fox fan, meaning the other games, I've just never been into flying games. I'm a super casual gamer, that would rather spend time exploring a game rather than remember 100 different combos. With that in mind, I can understand why Star Fox fans hate this game, but with this being my one and only Star Fox game, having zero context, this is one of my favorites! This is gonna make a lot of people mad, but the flying parts are my least favorite parts of the game. This game is tailor made for super casuals like myself.

I disagree. Its my favorite one.

How can people hate this game 😢

I love/hate many things with game. But one part of the game I 100% love is the twist that I'm sorry if you said you knew was coming your lying, an thats Andross . Absolutely loved the final boss fight.

I will admit,this game is not all that great. Voice acting wasn't too good for some characters (like the dinos,slippy,ect),The arwing sections were short and rather easy,The final boss being andross and not General Scales, and heck,Krystal only being playable for the very first part of the game. I know this game was never meant to be a starfox title but there are things I really like about it such as Krystal being a new character to the starfox team,the music,and even how beautiful the graphics are in the game. What I love the most is that,we aren't glued in a cockpit the whole time. Yes I know,starfox started as an on rails shooter. But does it have to be that way every time? This game opened a new game play feature for fox and I really liked it! I just wish people would be more open to the fact that Starfox doesn't have to be another version of the N64 titled for every game. I would love to see a new starfox game where on foot missions are required to continue (like in assault)

I liked the game, but the Arwing criticism wouldn't be so much of an issue if the final boss weren't exclusively in the Arwing using none of the mechanics we just spent the whole game learning. Ironically, my biggest problem had to do with one simple story bit at the start: real time passed between games. Eight years passed between 64 and Adventures which started a trend of having realistic time between entries. That's a kiss of death to any series without a planned ending because eventually, your title character is going to be too old to be a hero.

I'd say Nintendo enticed Rare to make their new game a Star Fox game by offering license of their (at the time) wildly popular Star Fox game franchise. It was a pair of calculated decisions by both respective parties. 1. Nintendo needed a Star Fox game for the GC because it was still a hot franchise from the late '90s; Assault was both ambitious and still 3 years from release. Nintendo fans had been expecting a Star Fox game for the GC since its launch and were (not so) patiently waiting. 2. Rare understood the chances of commercial success for yet another action-RPG were low. That genre was already crowded with Zelda, Banjo Kazooie, DK64, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and a hundred others; so they needed a highly marketable name to wrap around their new game in order to make it sell. In 2024, both respective decisions seem like cynical, lazy cash-grabs.

I don't understand the hate for it tbh, I had a blast when I was a kid and I recently went back through it and still had fun, yes it would have been nea to see how it would have been if it was released as dinosaur planet. Tbh I think there's some people out there who'll hate something just because some other people do, like with dark souls 2 for example. Oh and adventures didn't ruin starfox, command did that.

The game is good. I think it’s to far to say it’s bad since there are many redeeming qualities to the game. Not saying it’s a masterpiece or anything, but you just get this certain feeling playing this game that you don’t with other games that makes me like it.

I always saw it as a fine Star Fox spinoff game. Of course it wasn't a real Star Fox game, but I still liked it, tho it had some issues. I liked it better than Rare's collectathon platformers for the N64, at least... maybe like it around as much as Jet Force Gemini. That said, it would have been better if it stayed as Dinosaur Planet. But I do like how it helped expand the lore of the Star Fox universe. I actually wish Nintendo would expand things further and make it official that Star Fox and F-Zero take place in the same universe.

I really enjoyed this game, but was never a fan of the aiming when shooting laser. Everytime I reached Ocean Force Point Temple and the part at Dragonrock where you have to free a dino, I got rather frustrated. But otherwise, very solid game imo. Great world and character design and very nice memorable music.

The worst part about the game was the story, setting and atmosphere by far. Not only is the setting and atmosphere just nothing like Lylat, but the story is one of the worst I've ever played with a ludicrous amount of plot holes. And on top of that, it replaced Dinosaur Planet. That just makes it worse.

this game was so good

It's worth noting that when Rare was developing this game, it's NOT that Nintendo came in and said "This is a Star Fox game now", so much as Rare was in the process of being bought by Microsoft, and needed to finish the game before that completed. It was simply, and unfortunately, easier and cheaper to cut down the scope (only 1 playable character) and stuff Star Fox story into all the gaps that weren't already written than it was to actually finish the game as "Dinosaur Planet". imo, it was either we got Star Fox Adventures, or Dinosaur Planet would die as just another canceled game in the countless many before and since.

To be fair to SFA's combat, Wind Waker's is probably the best in the entire Zelda series. SFA doesn't look nearly as bad if you compare it to, like, OoT or Phantom Hourglass. I still wouldn't call it great but, like... its Fine. Really that's kinda the game in general. It's fine. Nothing super special but enjoyable enough.

The Star Fox branding really didn't seem to hurt the game nearly as much as the switch to development on the GameCube did. In the leaked prototype of Dinosaur Planet, a build sometime between the decision to make it a Star Fox game and development for the GameCube, the game is very, very similar to the final product. The narrative hints at a much more expansive world than what we ultimately got, with more temples and guardians, though the build is unfinished and breaks down around the Desert Force Point Temple that never made it into the final game alongside the desert itself, the Golden Plains. The overall story, however, seems to be more or less the same, just without the Star Fox elements. It wouldn't take much rewriting to make the game work with Star Fox as is. It seems as though the bulk of the remaining dev time was spent reworking the game for its new home on the GameCube rather than including the Star Fox branding. I think if the game had been able to maintain its original course on the N64, we would've gotten a project that included Fox and Crystal in more equal parts like we see in the prototype, and a much more expansive world. But since the majority of the game had to be remade more or less, the devs didn't have time to finish the world they originally had planned, so they just took what they had and meshed it all together so that it was just Fox's adventure and reduced Krystal to a damsel in distress. That said, using the Star Fox branding was certainly a pretty big misstep among Star Fox fans who had been waiting since Star Fox 64 for a new game and had high hopes for the latest entry on the GameCube. But it most certainly would not have sold half as well as an original IP releasing so late into the N64's life. I think it was ultimately a necessary evil to allow the game to be released rather than cancelled. But still, I would really love to see a day where Dinosaur Planet got to see a full release in its original glory.

if it wasnt a star fox game and had more interesting and in depth combat system / enemies, would have been rare's best game by far. the level and character designs are so good, the puzzles are great, music is memorable, and the "dungeons" are all unique. i like the jump from n64 to GC idea, really shows off rare's art style in a whole new light, but the addition of star fox was just not great for dinosaur planet. i still love star fox, but if dinosaur planet would have been allowed to become a new IP im sure I would like it more than star fox. every now and then ill think of this game i played so long ago, happy to see other people still think about it as well

It is a pity that RARE did not follow its original idea of the Dinossaur Planet prototype, this game could have become the game that would close the Nintendo 64 cycle with a golden key (similar to Majora Mask and Conker Bad Fur Day), it could have become an excellent classic, but in the end it just became a average Star Fox game for the Game Cube that nobody cares about. PS: Star Fox Adventures is a good game, it just isn't a good Star Fox game.

Dinosaur Planet shills: Duh worst decision ever made Star Fox into a cheap Zelda copy Also Dinosaur Planet shills: OMFG Nintendo ruined Dinosaur Planet because they were afraid Zelda will be dethroned Pathetic.

I know this vid is about 1 year old, but I think (still watching this) the reason people don't like the "newer" starfox games is just the nostalgia glasses. Yes, the old starfox games were cool but I do have to admit, after recently playing them, I felt "meh" as an adult. Some sections are cool (the train level for instance, or heck even the indepence day dogfight are still awesome!), yet it lacks something... that finesse of feeling an accomplishment. I remember I had to struggle through a lot of levels just to get the medals or survive on the harder routes, whilst as an adult, this just felt as an easy breeze. I think the older starfox games legit suffer from nostalgia glasses. Kids nowadays playing the newer starfox games might enjoy them! For sure, but people who played the older games can't find that joy again, not because of a revamp or a new title... No, the old starfox games, with the same formula, just don't appease to the more mature gamers out there. Side scrolling missions where a new invention back in the day, but with todays standards, it's slow, it's easy, it's not as engaging... as an adult. It's not the game's franchise or this sort of game's fault, it's the harsh truth that kids become adults. What was a gaming challenge back in the day is just casual play nowadays I'm afraid... So yeah, on the bright side, it just shows how as kids some games are gems, we've had our gems and can still enjoy gaming. The newer generation will find their gems on their way :) just keep on gaming gamers

man let's face it, dinosaur planet has finally leaked its rom and we can finally play the original game that star fox adventures was supposed to be, AND EVERYBODY IS LOVING THIS GAME...... WHICH LITERALLY HAS THE EXACT SAME GAMEPLAY AS STAR FOX ADVENTURES! Apart from star fox elements the games are literally the same! Which proves that most of these claims are invalid and are only made because star fox is in a different genre other than spaceship shooters, which to me is a ridiculous reason to hate a game, damn who the hell hated any of the games Zelda for having different gameplay like link crossbow training? worse, how would the mario fandom be if everyone hated games with genres other than the platformer? This actually smells like a childish tantrum to me, and I was surprised to learn that in the US star fox adventures is hated because here in my country most gamers love this game (ship games are not that popular here so I think this is one of the reasons why) and don't get mad at him, namoral to complain about simple combat in a game that focuses more on puzzles than combat? This is simply ridiculous, and remembering now the video of jon tron ​​criticizing star fox adventures it becomes even clearer that all this hatred is due to the genre being different, which is still changing and the public is receiving the game better (especially the new generations ) as he did with metal gear rising which curiously received the same hate as star fox adventures for the same stupid reason
