Ravior_Stygian Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Likes: Solid gameplay (for the most part) Splendid graphics Pretty good voice acting Excellent Music A pretty good story (it's very much written like an anime, which I like in particular) Lengthy missions Good multiplayer (if you have people to play with) Dislikes: REALLY short (my biggest complaint) Strafing isn't all that useful, and wasn't implemented very well Not enough Arwing action Team mates are basically retarded. No, really. Just play it and see for yourself. They're completely helpless and actually rely on you to save them when you're on foot when there's already someone else flying around as well. Plus, somersaulting is apparently rocket science to them. Again, there really isn't enough missions. There should have been at least five more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestalt Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I agree..I was really happy when I first got Assault but I think I finished it in less than 5 horus on the hardest mode of play. I had intended it to be somthing like SF64 on steroids, but u couldn't even choose ur path on this game that was the major downfall for me. These are some of the other faults I think it had:The Arwing was to slow (on multiplayer u could run on foot right beside the guy in the air)The objectives where like playing target practice over and over and overAt times ur so called "help" was just standing there in the corner doing nothingOnly a few of the Bosses where acually original ...other than that I kinda enjoyed the story and liked the cutscenes (made me feel like I was watching an SF movie ). On the plus side, Falco was less bitchy and kind of a friend... :falco: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUnder Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Likes: -Engaging and fun gameplay -Great atmosphere -Fairly decent story -Excellent local multiplayer -Graphically impressive -Varying gameplay elements -Lengthy missions Dislikes: -Extremely short -Poor on-foot implementation -Unpolished -Plotholes in storyline -Useless AI -Dialog can be badly read or just sound odd Assault is my second favorite in the series, though it certainly has its strong and weak points. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Likes: Returning to multi-planet format Star Wolf returning Landmaster returning Arwing was fun and animated well Some of the cutscenes were gorgeous Peppy's sacrifice scene unf Voice acting Multiplayer was fun, if a little screwball at times Soundtrack Dislikes: Dat AI Fox and Krystal's VA's Krystal was entirely useless Plot recycled from every stock sci-fi ever Really glaring nonsensical plotholes Fox's terrible characterization Ground levels were insanely repetative and often bland Physics pretty much nonexistent Aparoids had a really unimaginative design Way too damn short Nixing the facial expressions in the English dub Lack of character development, general bad dialogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgpaw3 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I loved the game. Its my 3rd favorite SF game (if you consider Lylatwars and SF643D as 2 different games) and one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. I personally didn't find any flaws in the game, except that it was too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureox Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dislikes: Strafing isn't all that useful, and wasn't implemented very well Just hold L or R and you strafe just fine. If you're talking about the roll you do when you first press it, then ohohohoho, you have yet to master the art of Homing Launcher dodging, as you can dodge every shot every time once you're able to roll correctly.

Psygonis Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 It was graphically pleasant, but gameplay-wise, so slooooooow. I mean, ok, anti-grav G-Diffuser stuff, but hell, we're talking about aircrafts, some speed please! You could nearly stop, in mid-air! Fundamentally, the game was irritating in the way that it knew how to let you glance at epic awesomeness (like the first mission) and then... bleh! Video footages of on-foot missions/MP looked fun, but when you actually got to it... bleh! Too short of course, and with highly approximative storyline and weird-behaving characters (Fox turning mellow, and Wolf not being much better...). BUT: + Epic Peppy! + Arwing-only multiplayer levels were excellent + An excellent soundtrack \o/ + Epic first mission! + Graphically good (Are we gonna have all the love/hate threads all over again because of the ¢¢? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I actually meant with enemies that you have to use the R button to aim at. It doesn't always work. Plus, I wish Fox could kind of run around the enemies similar to how Mega Man works in the Legends series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zorro de la Estrella Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Like: - Extremely fun - Was the perfect blend of on-foot and in-Arwing action - Story was pretty awesome - Great VA - Missions were nice and long - Great graphics Dislike: - Too short - Could've used a bit of polish - They axed the facial emotions in the US version (Check the KA for video of the original's cutscenes) - Some plotholes Assault is pretty much my fave SF game!

Fire Yoshi Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Likes: - The multiplayer mode - Foot mode - The large variety of footmode weapons - character designs - The cutscenes (thought they were beautiful) Dislikes: - Sluggish, tank-like gameplay on footmode - Short story mode - A lot of the game's music (Especially Starwolf's theme on this game) - Unbalanced character stats for some characters - Story felt a bit bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Likes: - Inclusion of ground missions - Multiplayer (Dear lord if that had had online it would have been AWESOME) - Good graphics - All range mode Landmaster - Variety of weapons - You can fly the Wolfen in multiplayer - Awesome music Dislikes: - Too short - Aparoids were a cheap rip off of the Borg - Not enough variety in the ground missions (it was seriously "find all these stationary targets and destroy them") - Grenades were pretty much worthless - Turning Fox around was tedious - Wingmen were once again useless - Too few classic on rails levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedFox8 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I liked the vehicle models, but the character models fail in comparison to Adventures'. I liked being able to see each hair on the bodies and there was a lot more facial expression rather than just the mouth moving up and down like some robot (okay, so ROB64 is an exception).

Scourge Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Likes- The art department outdid themselves The arwing looked amazing Inclusion of rails missions into the series again more character development Greatfox looked AMAZING actually entertaining multiplayer If done properly, you could actually wing ride in multiplayer THE WOLFEN LOOKED AMAZING The soundtrack *moan* Dislikes- The arwing was too slow, you had to use boost constantly to actually get anywhere Try turining a full 360 on foot, it'll take you a good 30 seconds The coding team outdid themselves The aparoids seemed pulled out of bloody nowhere Useless teammates THEY BROKE, GREATFOX Everyone's outfits seemed like they were stolen from a Mass Effect artbook and then made a little worse Ill come back and add more complaints as I think of them.

TCPeppyTc Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well Star Wolv "blew up" in SF64. Andross blew up in SF 64 and Adventures, yet why would he be really dead jsut from being blown up in adventures? Why should that be the death that actually killed him?

Zero Flare Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hm... my turn! Likes: A nice division between Arwing and on-foot missions. Interesting enemies - something about the Aparoids really tickled my fancy. Wonderful, streamlined designs for the Arwings/Greatfox/Landmaster. Beautiful and emotional cutscenes. Great humor, albeit a little cheesy. Insanely addictive multiplayer with tons of weapons, huge maps and vehicles to choose from. Powerful orchestral soundtrack. Dislikes: Aparoids could have used a little more development, which could have subsequently added to the length of the game. 10 missions just isn't long enough. In-game graphics seemed unpolished, with texture glitches here and there. Unbalanced character multiplayer stats (Wolf. I mean, seriously?). Inability to replay cutscenes. I enjoyed this game, but my biggest gripe is the length. I know Nintendo have been churning out a lot of remakes lately but I'd love to see this remade with co-op missions and online multiplayer. Similar to Halo, perhaps. I've always thought Assault's multiplayer is a bit like a premature version of Halo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scourge Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I wish they offered some explanation as to why Starwolf was still alive in this game and Andross was not... Just because you got shot down dosent mean your dead, plus, they may've been disturbingly injured in the crashes, but this is also a futuristic society-ish type thing so they could've either A, undergone surgery, or B, been revived. A good explination for this I believe was mentioned in one of Kit-Karamak's fanfictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCPeppyTc Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Another Dislike: Starwolf especially Pigma and Leon. I kind of liked Pigma as a New yorker from the 20s, rather than just a slobbering pig. Also, neither Peppy nor Fox seeme particularly angry or vengeful at him. I also liked Leon better as an elegent assassin rather than the spaz he was in Assault. He just seemed scarier in N64. I disliked the pacing and speed of the Arwings. The whole flight experience seems very slow and peaceful, more like a sunday drive than a real dogfight. Correct me if wrong, but from what I have seen, its rare that you or your teammates are ever in real danger. Also, Peppy shouldnt have been made to give up his arwing. He is only late 50 early 60s. I kinda liked Wolf though and some of the cutscenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoFox Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Likes: It had really good ending credits music, as well as other fantastic pieces in the soundtrack. Dislikes: it was a pretty shit game in almost every respect, with the exception perhaps of the first, last and meteo level, especially when compared with other games that had similar content and gameplay at the time.

Ellanie Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Actually, I think Assault in my overall favorite in the series thus far, though I haven't given much time to Adventures or the SNES game(s). Anyway; Likes; -Visuals are incredible for the Gamecube. Characters, machines, the scenery, everything is wonderful sci-fi eye-candy that I just devour. -Soundtrack. Epic orchestral for the main game, jumpy, techy, and fun for the multi-player. -The Arwing. -Gameplay variety. -The cheesy sci-fi storyline. Guilty pleasure, yes, plot-holes and all. -Slippy's voice actor. If he has to have a high and screechy voice, this guy needs to continue to do it. He pulls it off without being either feminine or annoying. Dislikes; -Length! If only we had a few more missions! -Lack of playable Leon and Panther in multi-player. -Non-emotive cut-scenes in the English version. -The fact that an on-foot ally essentially means they serve zero purpose. At least in an Arwing they can actually hit stuff when they shoot. -Characters move at one speed when they run on foot. It takes getting used to. -The Arwing feels good. The Landmaster doesn't. I shudder at what the Bluemarine would've felt like if Aquas were a real level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deploy Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Likes: - Great visuals. - Excellent, very fun multiplayer. - Really good music. - Great arwing gameplay. - Some levels had great atmosphere and design. Dislikes: - Decent, but flawed landmaster and on-foot gameplay. - Campaign WAY TOO SHORT. - Forgettable voice acting. - Lame story. - Some levels were dull and poorly designed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
