interesting, to say the least.

your criticism of the graphics are only on the characters and the character art... does that really even matter? i don't know about you, but i don't judge a game's graphics by its character art. although i do agree that they look worse, and that crying scene was retarded, you seem to have based teh graphics rating and stuff that doesn't really matter. in-game, the graphics are probably the best i've seen on the DS. i'd go with 9.5/10 or maybe a 10.

since when has gameplay been a weakness for the star fox series? you realize people buy games because of good gameplay, right? and star fox has sold pretty dang well through the years.

for online... what would you suggest they do then? is it somehow less creative than the other wi-fi games? me personally, i don't think so. although metroid got pretty creative, it was unbalanced and had far too many glitches, so i don't consider it any better. i agree that the whole disconnecting = game drop is annoying, but its nothing to sell the game over. im rank J right now and i've seen about... 5 disconnections. 5 out of the 75 games i've played? thats not too bad. metroid was a lot worse.

you really need to try looking on the bright side of things, man. when all you can do is find something wrong with a game, you probably sell a lot. (MK...)
