Star Fox 2 Review - ThisGenGaming

thisGenGaming Says="It’s a decently fun game in its own right, but if I had to pay full price for it on release I may have felt cheated because there isn’t enough content to warent the asking price of a full game when measured to today’s standards. Star Fox 2 has to be experienced through some form of nostalgia glasses to be truly enjoyable as the graphics really don’t hold up that well in 2017. Since most of us get to experience it as part of a larger collection of games though, we should just appreciate that Nintendo finally gave us the chance to play it."

This is a 25 year old game. It's not supposed to live up to today's standards. Those standards literally didn't exist when the game was made. Judging it as a modern game is stupid.

letsa_go3157d ago

haha I totally agree. Almost anything will come up short if you compare something 25 years old to something new. I want to know how it compares to the original starfox but they didn't seem to go over that much at all. I will just have to try it out for myself. I will say that all the music I heard so far gives me that nostalgia from the first game.

It's first and foremost more fun than the original! I kind of had to force myself to play through Star Fox, but I had a decent time with Star Fox 2. Lost my first attempt, then beat the game 3 times in a row. Just a shame a playthrough only lasts about 40-50 minutes...

bloodyspasm3157d ago (Edited 3157d ago )

I have to disagree somewhat. We can all agree that some games never lose their flair, most 2D pixelated games can still look very appealing today. You even have modern games trying to imitate those. But star fox 2 misses that visual appeal. And that was one of the original game's main draws when it released.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing23d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit23d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing23d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9223d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
