OK, so maybe it was the migraine medicine, or the fumes, but after spending two hours vegging out on the PAX bean bags playing Star Fox Command, I'm addicted.
It's true that the multiplayer mode could use more maps and that the single player mode is a touch too short. And yes it would be nice if some of the strategy elements of the single player mode were available on the multiplayer mode. But even with those issues, Star Fox can be a lot of fun to play.
Since no one had the game at PAX (or at least very few people did), I would go into the game and select recruit from the menu. This let me host up to five other players on my single card.
Often the games ended up with three or four other players, but occasionally we would max out and it was a lot of fun.
While lag was almost non-existent, the initial loading time was absolutely horrific. The other issue was that if anyone left the match it would close down the entire game, which totally sucked. Also, they really should have made the on-going games joinable between matches.
So yeah, besides all of that stuff Starfox is a blast.
It might not be quite a Mario Kart DS, but it's far more pick-up-and-playable than Metroid Prime Hunters
How many of you plan on getting Starfox Command? Any of you play a game with me at the PAX Lounge?
