Star Fox Command Critic Reviews

The combination of classic and new elements makes it the most wholly satisfying Star Fox game yet.

Combined with the fun dogfighting and smart stylus control, this is better action than we deserve in a portable.

Star Fox Command has great controls and introduces a strategic layer that's fairly interesting. However, the random feel of the story battles and the frantic multiplayer mode don't make the most of this game's solid foundation, which might cause nostalgic fans to long for the series' good old days.

The game looks and runs great, controls wonderfully and is a perfect example of gaming done right on the DS.

Just saying the word 'strategy' may turn off some gamers who aren't typically into that genre, but even if you're not, at least give a shot. We have a feeling many people will be pleasantly surprised.

Though some of its design is questionable, the game is still one of the best Star Fox branded titles in years. The varied and branching single player campaign will keep you glued to your Nintendo DS for multiple playthroughs.

The fast-paced Star Fox action, easy controls, and the fun multiplayer portions definitely outweigh the bad.

The mandatory touch screen controls for Command actually work very well.

You fly in open space, which is a good thing. It gives you more freedom, but does so at a price - a time limit.

Looks like a return to form for Fox - strategy and top flying action meshed brilliantly.

Not the Star Fox we were hoping for, but one that's surprisig in pulling off the risks that it takes.

It was only a matter of time before Star Fox found its way onto the DS. Instead of being a remixed version of a classic Star Fox(the N64 version springs to mind), Star Fox Command is an original effort offering up some interesting new ideas as well as classic McCloud shooting action.

Aside from a rather light multiplayer component, Star Fox Command has few flaws and is a must-have for DS owners.

I have a wish list of features Command should have included — more diverse enemies, cooler bosses (remember battling Andross at the end of the Super Nintendo game?), in-game wingman interaction — but Star Fox Command, with its branching story and multiple endings, takes a small step the right direction.

A great looking, fast paced action shooter if not for the strategy element in between but, in my opinion its always good to have something new and the maps offer a little challenge when you first play them.

While not without flaws, SFC most definitely brings the franchise backs to its former glory.

Star Fox Command isn't a return to the glory days or a flawless project that redefines the series, but it's a solid and interesting title that takes on new ideas and comes up with something entirely worthwhile.

The stylus controls might still need some work but the core idea is sound, with accuracy and precision that previous Star Fox games - and air combat titles in general - just never offered before.

Wi-Fi battles are there, but you're more likely to hang around this furry crew for its intense, tactical battlefields.

The turn-based and map-scouring gameplay is a fresh take on the series, even if the timed missions aren’t nearly as epic as the battles of the previous games.
