It got a whole lot more play. Then, I got distracted by all the life stuff going on, and then Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas came out. This was a good game, and all, but you just can&#8217;t compete with that. I mean, yes, Metroid Prime 2 probably could, but that&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t bought it yet. And Half Life 2 probably *will*, if I can ever get my desktop back into working trim.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, none of that is big on the relevance. The latest Starfox is a weird hybrid thingummy, in that it&#8217;s about 65% platformer, 20% RPG, and 15% space shooter. There&#8217;s this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qwantz.com\/\">planet full of dinosaurs<\/a>, and stompy old T-Rex has taken over, just as you&#8217;d expect. With no Utahraptor to hold him in check, it&#8217;s up to some blue-furred chick and later our hero, Fox McCloud, to step in and save all the peace-loving Dromiceiomimi, Triceratopses, Woolly Mammoths, and other reptilian species from having all the minerals in their planet exploited.<\/p>\n<p>Like you&#8217;d expect, you gradually gather money to buy maps and more sophisticated items, plus bomb plants, magical staff power-ups, vine seeds, and lots of other types of items I haven&#8217;t gotten around to yet. Basically a cheap knockoff of Zelda or Banjo Kazooie, but if you have lots of time to play that kind of game, it&#8217;s not so cheap a knockoff as to make it pointless. Also, though it shames me to utter such a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Furry\">furry<\/a> thought, the blue-skinned chick was kinda hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At about the same time I was playing Wario World, I also tried out Starfox Adventures.
