Johnny vs. Star Fox: Assault

- In today's episode, I'm done with my little Metroid detour and heading back to the Star Fox series! The Gamecube got two titles, and after Star Fox Adventures sort of went off rails, Star Fox: Assault attempts to bring things back to normal. Does it work? Let's see!

Now THIS is a Star Fox game I want to see a re-make of, I'm tired of 64 over and over again
I'd rather no more remakes and do true sequels. As much as I did enjoy Zero, I'll be happy if they make another true sequel, since Zero basically hit the 'reboot' button.
Hopefully, whatever the NX is, will bring with it a fantastic new installment.
A-fucking-men!
If they gave us Ratchet and Clank style ground controls, let us shoot bombs from the landmaster and if they remade this on the Switch, it would be the perfect remake. Also gives the multiple paths from 64.
i honestly for star fox's future i would love to see a mix of this with improved control and star fox 2(sauria is mentioned and they do have interest in reintroducing krystal i would like that or at least a sequel to the battle begins i really loved that short and it makes me want to see more nintendo anime.:3)
Ditto
Starfox Assault had a great multiplayer. Only problem was I loved wolf as a character but he was super over powered and my friends hated me for it when i would use him
Hi
Do a boundary break with a starfox game
Shesez Wolf is a cool character. I use him in smash.
@@dstinnettmusic
He's also considered "OP" by virtue of being Top Tier as of March of 2019
Agreed
Assault DEFINITELY has better multiplayer than 64. Much more variety
seeing you here is a pleasant surprise
I love Johnny :P
No way! Love your vids!
Aww Tank U :]
Actually, 64 also had on-foot and tanks in multiplayer. It's just hard to unlock.
I call Assault a true sequel to 64, even when most don't. Sure the ground missions were too long and numerous, but it still had the Star Fox feel and gameplay.
I think if they expanded on the variety of ground missions a bit more, it could make for a nice mainstay for the franchise.
It's a space opera and they're mercenaries. Makes sense that they have to battle on foot from time to time. Could lead to some nice storytelling too
@@victorhugocosta1127 And even if the main team weren't going to do anything on foot, I could imagine members of StarWolf having certain areas like that, if they had like a bonus/side campaign to the main one starring them.
Maybe even give some uniqueness to the typical running and gunning, by adding some slight hand-to-hand combat mechanics, or even certain things exclusive for each member.
I’ll be honest I enjoy the ground combat
Thanks for being fair with this game and not needlessly bashing it like some other reviewers I've seen. This review was refreshing.
Fozzy W 100% I agree
I don't have much experience with StarFox Assault,but it seems like a pretty good game. What do people bash it for?
I really liked adventures and personally wasnt too moved by 64 but assault from what i have seen looks pretty damn good... I just wish i could vind a gamecube version of it
Hi
@@harshal1153 🐙 helluuu
This was the StarFox game that introduced me to the series. I wished they could better implement both land and tank gameplay in future games.
This was my first Star Fox game too. And it's still my favorite.
Same I hope the franchise will stop trying so hard to be like star fox 64. Star Fox Zero may as well be called Star Fox 64 Wii U HD.
I don't know much about Star Fox, but I feel this game is best for newcomers who want to get into the franchise
I really wished they'd have improved the on-foot stuff too.
Like the Land Master controlled okay here. It was tanky, but it's a tank so...
I really just hoped they'd stick with all three styles and have improved the on foot gameplay to be say... Ratchet & Clank-esque where it's more traditional of a third person shooter in terms of control?
And more missions where you can swap between Arwing, Landmaster and on foot too. Those were always the best because of how you could take varying different approaches to them and how to go about defeating all targets.
Frankly, I was hoping to see the series move onwards and upwards with Star Fox Zero by taking what Assault did and improving on all three styles rather than going back to just one, but it looks like they're afraid to move on beyond remaking Star Fox 64 again (when it just got a 3DS Remake not too long ago.) Like, Zero changed it up a little bit with the Walker thingy and... Other things (gimmicky shitty gyroscope controls,) but most of the game could be summed up as "Star Fox 64 HD Remake."
Like they even went so far as to get the 64 Voice Actors again for Zero... Like... Really? The Direction's a bit better, but the voices are still mostly bad (frankly, no amount of good voice direction will save Slippy when he's literally voiced by a *woman.*)
Someone mentioned how this seems like a good game for people trying to get into the series. I can agree on that to an extent. It definitely looks and sounds the most inviting. I am a total sucker for Gamecube titles in general though.
(Star Fox Adventures)
General Pepper: This mission is about SAVING the planet! Not blowing it up!
(Star Fox Assault)
*Firing guns, bazookas, throwing bombs, and firing Arwing lasers all over the place on Planet Sauria*
General Pepper: No weapons, Fox! I said no weapons! Ooh, never mind...!
(This line was from a Star Fox parody.)
What parody? Can you post the link?
To be fair, different circumstances.
I find this game to be heavilly underrated. I'd say after Lylat Wars this game ranks as my second favourite Star Fox game. I like how the often dramatic story moments were enough to keep you hooked on the game, the smooth arwing controls felt good and the game's multiplayer was a blast.
I'm glad you were more fair to the game than most people, even if you weren't exactly raving about it.
At first, I wasn't sure what you were talking about when you said "Lylat Wars" instead of StarFox, but I forgot that StarFox 64 was called Lylat Wars in european contries
I agree with this Shadsilvson11
Can we take a second about the soundtrack and say that Star Wolf theme in this game is amazing (In my opinion at least).
Star Wolf's theme will never NOT be amazing!
I'd say it's by far the best rendition of the theme! It's tense, epic, but also really atmospheric. It oozes that "deep, worthy rivalry" feeling and perfectly underlines Star Wolf's new roles as Stealth Mentors/Anti-Heroes.
Eh not much of a fan of it to be honest, personally I prefer the version in Star Fox 2.
Really wish they would bring it back.
Fancy seeing you here, green.
"No game should have jump mapped to Y"
...except for Smash.
But in smashs case, you can also use the x button or trigger buttons
Am I the only one who just hit "up" on the control pad?
+Adiraiju I do it so much by accident I defaulted to hitting up to jump
It's X for me. I'm not having any of that "jump with Y" nonsense.
+Adiraiju
Yes. You are. Probably.
THANK GOD for a decent review, I really like this game and wish it got more recognition for what it did, most people ignore the positive aspects entirely. It's one of my favorite games, and StarFox is one of my favorite series,
I will say though, I really didn't like Command, it was the true killer of StarFox, and I wish Zero would at least sell more than Command, Zero is unfortunately in the same boat as Assault, if not worse, people bash Zero left and right, but it really is a better game than anyone says it is. Command however is a disaster, so good luck on that.
I remember when I was just a boy and I played Command at the store, a little bit of me died that day.
This is my introduction, and still my favourite of the series! Still play the multiplayer with my sis every so often, and she rarely plays games.
I agree with you 100%. It's my first and still my favorite. Haven't gotten the chance to play multiplayer after repurchasing it though.
netplay on your computer hehehe
@@JoseG904 You Sister is a saint, as I hear 100%'ing that game takes FOREVER
Star Fox Assault is actually my favorite Star Fox game. I love the more serious tone and how it feels like they're finally taking advantage of the large scale space opera potential the series has. Also, it's not a rehash of the exact same plot of saving the Lylat System from Andross that they've been using over and over again.
No, it's instead a rehash of the plot of _Silpheed: The Lost Planet_ for some reason.
If he talks about the endings of Starfox Command I hope he mentions the one where Fox and Falco become f-zero pilots
Lmfao! I totally forgot about that ending! XD
Command was shit and was the worst way to end the original timeline for those of us who enjoyed the lore and romance between fox and krystal. It also had god awful controls.
Glad I only paid 10 bucks for it.
That's... quite awesome, actually.
wut
Shadz Gamez Command was not shit at all! It was a good game. And yes, there were far better ways to end the franchise, but I liked what they did with all the multiple storylines. And the controls aren't "god awful" either? I've never really had a problem with them. It didn't need to be stylus-guides, but the controls were fine. Zero's controls were much worse.
Nothing I love more than waking up and BOOM, a Johnny video.
Today will be a good day.
It always is when Johnny uploads a video.
agreed
Have you people never looked at the comments before that you've never seen people posting that exact comment on every single video? Seriously, please stop going for all the thumbs-up.
It's worthless.
It only makes you seem like somebody uncreative enough to come up with their own ideas. It comes off as someone desperately trying to fit in, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Just be yourself, and put your best foot forward. Keyword: "YOUR"
If people don't accept your own efforts, then frack them. If this is your own honest-to-goodness effort without having copied anybody, then whoops. My apologies. Either way, don't erase your own personality just to fit in with others. Do your own things. Be yourself.
Except I wasn't looking for likes. All I was doing was stating my excitement.
He wasn't saying "LIKE IF YOU GOT EXCITED WHEN SEEING THIS IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BOX!"
He was just simply expressing his reaction
Starfox Assault is my second favorite game in the whole series.
The Arwing sections are great, the soundtrack is amazing (it used to have my favorite version of Star Wolf's theme until Zero came around) and the writing may not be Shakespeare material but I still think it's a bit better than any other REAL Starfox games we had until then.
I know the ground missions isn't very liked by a lot of people but I personally like them because A) you're still shooting shit up and B) Starfox is a mercenary group so, in that context, ground missions do make sense for them. I honestly wouldn't mind if they brought back the ground missions in a future game only, you know, with better controls and more mission variety.
it was a good job as a continuation of star fox which is stuck in the sf64 paradox...
The music alone when I first played this made me love it as my favorite Gamecube title. I still listen to the Fichina level theme cause that one was my stuff. This was my first Star Fox game.
And just like every other game with difficulties, I start on the easier modes and learn the gist of those controls. Really, I didn't find any major problems once starting Silver difficulty and pretty much had every path memorized for the most beneficial route and method in getting high scores by Gold. Too bad most unlockables are for multiplayer.
Omar Contreras-Cruz good thing multiplayer was fun, i was disappointed in star fox zero, it was nostalgia pandering for a franchise that is teetering on the brink of death, i want a new starfox game and not one that doesnt add onto 64 but expands it im sooner or later going to get tired of the arcade shooter game play and want to do things like stealth and on ground ops because thats what you do if you are in a war...
+*Haruhi Suzumiya*
I never had a complete experience with Multi since I didn't really have anyone to play with competitively other than my little sister. Regardless, when I do, Zoness was our preference. Fun stuff... even though I always destroyed her.
Single Player was my choice for wanting to always beat that score or thinking how I could do better without screwing up.
We really need a proper sequel to Assault with improved controls and at *least* the ability to customize what button does what. I wanna own more than just one Star Fox game.(Can't find 64 3D and don't own a Wii U yet)
Well, im playing Zero and after switching motion controls to when i use the trigger, and its - minus button to toggle the veiw but damn, its fucking amazing (nostalgia pandering was correct but im a nostalgia whore) zero obviously needs some work but second time im feeling the starfox 64 vibes (yes, try my setup and keep note your shots are inaccurate but apart from that,) off tv works why the box says it doesn't is strange, so these adjustments will give you Starfox like enjoyment with platnium games combo system, pity people dismissed this game but that's Nintendos fault, had people played with my settings they would have enjoyed themselves, after all, the controls shoots the game in the foot, im certain and the OST is gobsmacking, getting chills while in the zone. I recommend it if you do this, why not? You bought the game so have fun with the settings turned off.
smash's jump is mapped to the Y button......
DUN DUN DUUUUUN
Don't most people just press up on the stick to jump though?
Author Bat not at all. it's not as precise. and now that it's an option, most competitive players turn off tap jumping
But it not the only way to jump. You can press up to jump as well.
General Zeta ....see above comment.
Good video. Always felt this title was underappreciated. And the soundtrack is quite good, too.
Yessss, I've been waiting for this review. This is my personal favorite Star Fox game (sorry, 64)
200h of multyplayer fun.......good times!
Agreed. It's my favorite Star Fox game as well. 64 comes pretty damn close though.
Why are you apologizing?
KidSnivy69 He was just apologizing to 64 for not being his favorite for how amazing it is. XD Lol
yeah I wish Johnny had more people to play multiplayer with. It really is a blast with more people
Seeing as how Nintendo gave Star Fox Zero to Platinum Games, that statement about them not having the time or resources to make new Star Fox games really seems to ring true. I wonder if Command will ALSO have a non-Nintendo developer.
Yep, Command was also outsourced. To some company called "Q-Games." I think they brought Q-Games back to do the Star Fox 64 3DS port as well.
Sometime Nintendo just not having enough people to make games (or having too much project) This kind of situation happened since the NES days actually.
And from what I remember, Q-Games was founded by the man who helped developed Star Fox 1&2.
From what I remember, it was Nintendo EAD that did Zero, Platinum was there to assist with it. Kinda like how Sora while did make Sm4sh, Bamco helped with it.
Last I knew, Nintendo EAD or whatever isnt known for making anything good. Platinum also mentioned Miyamoto being a bit of a pain in the ass to work with.
*****
I must've confused it with them, it was Nintendo EPD that made it. Looking at their record, other than like two or three games, BOTW being part of it, they're not known for making anything good.
Not to mention Nintendo EAD was also responsible for making the critically acclaimed Mario Galaxy titles, well the Tokyo part of the team anyway.
Early by complete accident.
What a lovely start to my day.
I know right?
Same
hi ceon
same
agreed, intellectually stimulating review in the morning may even be a better substitute for my morning coffee
alot of people used to shit on this game until command came out and it gave them an appreciation for it that was never there before. but the ones who always enjoyed it always knew it was a gem, before Starfox Zero came out this was my fav star fox game, i liked the story, the interactions, the levels and the control (for the most part). im glad this game has been one of those games that with age actually got better as time went on.
I actually enjoyed the voice acting in Star Fox Assault.
It could be better
No videogame that focuses on gameplay over story will ever have perfect voice acting, like you get from movies or the last of us.
Yet Fox's voice sounds natural. Yes, overly philosophical, but tbh if I was writing the game, I'd have thrown in that at the ending too. I enjoyed the voice acting and felt it helped give them more emotion and attitude.
The only problem I had with the voice acting is the stupid filter they have over everything. Almost sounds like they were trying too hard to make it like they were talking over walkie-talkies... even when they're standing next to each other in the Great Fox.
The voice acting was a mixed bag. Some of the voices like Slippy's, Wolf's, Peppy's and Panther's were good. Fox, Falco and Krystal sounded flat and unmotivated as shit. (Which is odd because Alesia Glidewell is a very talented actress, but I think I'd chalk that up to the voice direction more than anything else.) Leon on the other hand, just sounded awful, a huge step back from his N64 voice performed by Ja Green in my opinion.
I thought the voice acting was all right as a whole, with the exception of Falco & Andrew, I'm not really a fan of Falco suddenly having a Brooklyn accent & Andrew sounds like Bubsy on helium...
Having only played this and Star Fox Adventures(which was my first game in the series), This is my favorite Star Fox game, because I like the variety in gameplay, and with such a colorful cast of characters, I like being able to control them directly instead of only in vehicles where the only time you see them is in their communication portraits
A sequel to this could be amazing if done right.
"She tried to bypass evolution by stealing souls...But you have to be born with one." HAHAH I totally forgot about that one, you are definitely right about Fox's quotes!
It also doesn't help that he said this while the Aparoid Homeworld was demolishing all around them. Like, Fox, shouldn't you get your team out FIRST before getting all philosophical? 😆
"next up, Star Fox Command"
Ughhhhhhhh
Oh Johnny, I feel bad for you...
I think Command is pretty good, but hey, your opinion, not gonna care.
yeah Command is complete utter killer joy (mainly with it's story)
I feel bad for him when he gets to Zero.
The endings in the game are depressing but I wont knock anything people think of that stuff
the gameplay and controls though... seriously the control is ASS
Would you say it's worst than Zero? I don't really know since I never played Command, but I did played Zero & admittingly I did enjoyed the game for what it was, despite the problems it has.
the voice acting was always something that stood out to me as a kid. Especially that fight with general pepper. Oh man i remember my heart was racing and i remember hearing general pepper yelling at fox to kill him with that super sick boss fight music. Oh the nostalgia. Assault will always remain as my favorite star fox game of all time
I loved the character interactions the best. Particularly when it comes down to Star Wolf and Star Fox (Especially Leon and Falco). It makes for some comedy jelly beans.
I loved how seamless going from flight to on-foot was. The Sargasso Base mission showed this the best because you invaded a space station, made it to the top, then went back down and out into space to dogfight Star Wolf, all without a loading screen.
But the all-range level design was bad and the missions were tedious.
Tyler Falcon They were pretty short. They didn't feel all that tedious to me. I also thought the only badly designed part of the all range levels was that your partners didn't do shit and you still had to save them.
user1point0
They went on WAY too long, everything looked the same (especially the last level), and... spawners? REALLY?!
The on ground maps really remind me of Sonic 06... OK maybe not that bad.
Tyler Falcon The game itself is a arcade-style shoot-em-up by Namco. It makes sense to me that they would flood the area with enemies to shoot, hence the spawners. I'm not gonna say every single map LOOKED great (I liked Sauria a bunch), but some of them had cool setpieces, like Fortuna's boss fight and sniping targets in Corneria.
user1point0
They difference is that arcade games are fun and have lots of effort put into it.
Nintendo rushed Namco (like they did with Rare) into making it a single player game which it never was supposed to be in the first place.
Also, Zero was supposed to released on the Wii but Nintendo said they couldn't make it work... _what_
nice review as always, although as far as I know star fox adventures wasn't as much an experimental departure, as it was miyamoto telling rare to patch on the fox brand on a game that was supposed to be a completely different title.
Good luck on Command, why?
*THERE ARE 9 COUNT THEM, 9 ENDINGS*
Its cool dude dont stress yourself to hard to get videos out we will be here waiting
In my opinion this is one of the more underrated titles, might be because this was my first and favourite to this day, but I just love so much about it
Time for the best Star Fox game!
Agreed.
i LOVE this game. :'D
My Man, that's a truth.
depends on what you like, I love Assault, as I do all the games except for Command and 643D, those games really were bad. but I think the unreleased StarFox 2 is the best, easily followed by 64 Assault of course. Zero wasn't bad either.
what was so bad about 64 3d?
God I remember going to a buddys house and playing alot of the multiplayer in this and that main menu music going on while your selecting your characters in it was simply amazing I still listen to and play the game to this day still rocking my orignal purple gamecube that came packed with a memory card and super mario sunshine
This is the most slept on Star Fox game of all time. It's so perfect! We need a sequel to it or an HD remaster
Man, I have a special place in my heart for Assault, simply because of playing the multiplayer with friends in middle school, and loving the heck out of the General Pepper segment and the Great Fox's moment early into the last area.
There needs to be a Metroid/Starfox team-up.
Yes!! Cross-overs are awesome!!
That would be awful.
I can think of few videogame franchises that are more different in terms of gameplay *and* general tone and atmosphere
Smash Bros is your Metroid/Star Fox crossover, just ignore those other guys on the roster.
I love this guy and his enthusiasm.
Thank you for existing and providing wonderful content.
Another solo round of applause and thanks from me to you!
I love this game so much, this AND Adventure, easily two of my favorite games on the Cube.
Star Fox Assault
Pros:
-*Gorgeous Soundtrack.* Really, having an orchestra preforming the entire musical score make this a memorable entry in the series.
-Serious story, to an extent. The Big Bad isn't just some designated conqueror but an unreasonable entity that will stop at nothing to achieve its goal. Losing to these guys means Galactic annihilation not just being enslaved.
-Replayability. It's short, which means you have plenty of chances to beat your high score. Survival means you gotta get skilled if you wanna get a *good* high score. Beat it with dying once, and it shows.
-Star Wolf gets some love. Really, they get a more involved role in the story at large. Fans of these guys will be sated enough... add to that their theme song and Panther Carosso. (I love his character)
Cons:
-A little on the *too short* side. If you play games just to beat them, then you'll be done with this in a single sitting.
-Rewards not worth the effort. If you're a solo player, *TOO BAD.* These prizes are only good for at least two people. The only single-player experience is Xevious... and it gets boring since it won't end until you die.(Near-endless shooting)
-Land controls. Subjective matter, but I'm sure people had problems. Kinda rigid/rough. This gets resolved with replayability though. By your second/third attempt, you'll start getting used to them.
I enjoyed the hell out of this game though, to the point that it became my favorite Gamecube title next to PPTTYD, with the greatest advantage I had being the short amount of time it takes to beat it. I stick around for Beating Gold Difficulty and trying to beat my high scores.
Good times I had with this.
We really need a sequel since Assault is canonically the last game in the series. I'd like to know how they'll go from there.
If the Borg from Star Trek had assimilated the Bugs from Starship Troopers, you'd get the Aparoids in StarFox Assault
Let me just say thank you for always entertaining us Johnny even when equipment goes to shit. That's dedication man and it doesn't go unnoticed.
I actually like the on foot missions. Reminded me of Jet Force Gemini
Really happy you took a look at the multiplayer for this title, it's easily one of the most fun multiplayer modes I've had in a nintendo game. Lots of great memories playing that mode!
I hope you're ok Johnny. Feel free to take a vacation after this marathon if you need to.
Anyway, I want to add more context on why the on foot missions were largely disliked by critics and fans alike.
*Starfox Assault came out in February 2005 in North America, and April 2005 in Europe.* The First Person Shooter and Third Person Shooter genres were advancing rapidly in terms of mechanics, controls, and features during that era, and *other FPS and TPS, especially those on PC and the original Xbox, made improvements to controls and mechanics that made Starfox Assault's on foot offerings look and feel instantly dated.*
If you don't believe me, try going from Halo 2, Half Life 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Max Payne 2,Ratchet and Clank 2 or 3, etc., to Starfox Assault.
With how prominent the on foot missions are, that didn't help the game at all, especially when it comes to reviews.
This, also the level and objective designs were handled very poorly in my opinion. 80% of the game consists of you hunting down arbitrary targets, usually hatchers, in recycled multiplayer arenas with terrible enemy placement that can cause really cheap deaths, and it gets tedious and dull quickly. Sauria and the Aparoid Homeworld particularly suffer in this department.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Johnny's review but I felt like he glossed over the bigger issues this game has.
Halo 2 was awful, so was Half Life 2.
Never played the other games
BTW, CONTROL CONFIGURATION 2 IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.
also why did they hate the default control in Assault, but not Metroid Prime, which is the same damn thing.
@@GiordanDiodato Metroid Prime is played in first person where looking at your surroundings was essential. So having the primary analog stick also turn Samus made perfect sense. Starfox Assault is in 3rd person, making it a bit more awkward with turning because you have to watch the character himself turning toward the screen and there is some delay. In first person, as soon as the character sees something, you do too. Not the case in Assault.
I love waking up to a Johnny episode. This is how you start your morning(:
"Burned out." Sounds like my fight against pneumonia right now.
I appreciate the things you go threw to bring us quality uploads Johnny boy!
I played through this game countless times as a kid. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I had such a good time with it. Not sure why it receives the hate it gets, besides it being too short, because I always wished it was a bit longer of a game.
Can I also say how much I ADORE the UI for Assault, its so sleek and fancy. This and Persona 4 win my award for best user interface.
I really hope that we eventually get a Star Fox game with Assault style multiplayer.
I thought he was going to say gorgeous visuals at 4:50 bc this game looks lovely
"no game should have you jump with the Y button"- Melee?
Now I have little interest in buying melee.
Well in melee's defense, you can also press up to jump.
Concordia Harmony I change what I said.
Moe Sabally Good man. ^^
Also the X button
Goddamn, anything you lack in your reviews is completely made up by how amazingly fluid they are as a whole, and I can't wait for more!
Just gonna say it now, I loved Star Fox Zero. I have not played the other games, but they do certainly look interesting
I enjoyed StarFox Zero as well. Though not as much as I did with 64 or the SNES game, (I never played Adventures, Assault or Command) but I enjoyed the game for what it was overall. However despite me enjoying the game, even I can admit that the game is undeniably flawed. Two major issues I see with the game is its lack of content & of course the control scheme.
"Undeniably flawed" Allow me to disagree. I think _Star Fox Zero_ had plenty of content for my liking, and I got used to the control scheme after just a mission or two. If I were asked, I would recommend the game.
Just politely sharing my own view. :)
I made sure to play the training missions before starting the real game up, because of people saying the controls were difficult. From there, I had an easier time getting used to it, and I loved the game
+Jonnathan Sosa
Never played Assault?
Be thankful you didn't have to indure the painfully boring ground sections.
Before you say anything about how I'm a 64 fanboy let me say that I LOVE third person shooters but this one isn't exactly what I would call "good".
Assault, 64, and the SNES games if you can get them are all well worth playing. personally as a long time fan I was sorely disappointed by Zero, it's too bad this is probably the end of the series.
God this game was so good! It was even better when you Unlocked Wolf and his Wolfen Fighter! Me and my friends had SO much Fun! It just sucks that this games feels...Incomplete. Just like Adventures. But its certainly WAY better!
This game looks really fun, and definitely one I want to try out for myself after I finally play Star Fox 64. The Arwing stuff looks solid and the rest isn't that bad, either.
I was having a crappy day, then I saw this new video pop up and got all excited!
Thanks Johnny for killing the sads away!
I want you to know I completely forgot about Command. That game sucks lol
What no, PK! The game is good! You should try playing it again. It's way better than Zero will ever be.
Great game, terrible story.
MarioFanaticXV I honestly really liked the story. I loved how you could chose your own path with each character and see the outcome. The boss fights were awesome as hell too! Especially the true final boss, Angler. I also love how all of the characters' ships differ from one another. Command is nowhere near the best Star Fox game, but it's nowhere near bad at all. It's still a pretty good DS game. It's just a very underwhelming and convoluted conclusion to the franchise.
@@RyansChannel0203 I hate what they did with Krystal.
@@Nevergofullretard321 me, too.
thanks Jonny, i'm having a really shitty day and one of your vídeos is just what i needed to old on until the end of it, keep up the amazing work... and take care
As long as your not Assulted, yourll see a Star shaped as a Fox
I loved Assault. I did everything in that game, like in multiplayer... if I remember correctly, you could unlock wolf and his ship. Also a feature you didn't mention was that you could jump out and walk ontop of your aircraft while mid-flight. I just thought that was so cool. I remember doing stupid shit with it and a buddy like jumping from one guy's plane to another... not really breathtaking but I can't think of any other game that would let you do that.
Johny you should review HuniePop
Maybe in February or on April fools day?
I'm not sure he'd have anything to add to it that a million other people haven't already said. :I
April Fools Review. I'd be down with that
my boy got a framemeister
Just played this game yesterday on the first gen wii and beat it on gold, the whole game was fun and I really enjoyed reminiscing to simpler times. I used the duel stick controls cuz of how I play most games now and I must say if they only put look sensitivity option on this game, the game play would have been a a lot better! Also, when I got to last boss I died 11 times in a row, the rest of the game a 🎂 🚶🏼♂️, but that queen put the roid in Aparoid. After finally beating her I felt a since accomplish I haven’t gotten from a game in while. I really enjoyed Star Fox: Assault & I wish they would remaster it, with extra stuff, like something to do with General Scales like this review brought out, or maybe even some sound track options, or art work of the Great Fox & difference vehicles used in the Star Fox universe, or better yet the ability to walk around in side it or explore them like in Forza Motorsports 6. I feel like the Star Fox universe has so much untapped potential. I’d buy the latest wii or whatever it came out on if they did a remaster right.
Oh baby, Johnny uploaded a new review for my birthday! And it's about the Starfox game i have memories of my brother getting mad about during it's last level! Hooray!
This game proved to me it dosent have to be all R-Wing and the multiplayer is some of the best on the Gamecube
I always want a cup of coffee when I watch an episode of SomecallmeJohnny.
Honestly I want another game like Assault but longer.
I was waiting for this one! I always loved this game when I was younger.
Well my morning is officially good.
Well, I am happy you got the vacation, I'll give you that...this one is secretly my favorite Star Fox game, so I've been waiting quite a while for this review lol
Do you know what i'd love to see at the end of this marathon? Crash Wrath of Cortex and Crash Twinsanity.
I do think he will be doing a few videos before heading into the next marathon & he did review Castlevania Rondo of Blood & Symphony of the Night back-to-back so there's always a chance.
Finally. probs the game I wanted to see you look at the most.
THANK you! Assault's land controls are FINE!
This is my fave game in the series!
The voice acting in this game was the best in the whole star fox series.
Since this review was taking so long I decided to give my old copy a shot and holy shit I was blown away by the damn soundtrack, so many good memories with this game, both with the single player and multiplayer
dont understand why people hated the controls
just set it to dual analog
exactly!
I thought the lock on system works fine anyway
Dual stick really doesn't improve much in the grand scheme of things. I still have a hard time positioning the camera. It also makes the Landmaster absolute garbage to control.
Besides, the controls aren't really the issue I have with the game, it's more about the level design and enemy placement.
Goddamn Patch93, shut the fuck up, with your complaining already! Nobody gives a shit! What you think about the levels, controls etc, etc! If people like the game, that's fine, but don't go around and give people shit and bash on the game like a fucking crybaby, you damn 64 fanboy and quit fucking whining!
>Implying that I'm a SF64 fanboy when I didn't even say jack shit about that game.
Also pointing out clear flaws in a game is apparently bitching. I wasn't aware of that. :V
Multiplayer in Star Fox Assault? Star Fox Assault Smackdown Sunday foreshadowing perhaps..?
Sigh..... did you not learn from the brain scratch comm comments? You can play with traditional third person controls by changing them in the options.
Oh, and second comment. I actually bought the game about a month ago so I could play with my bros.
He mentioned those controls.
For some reason he thought that type 2 controls still made Fox have tank controls even though they actually just make him control like an FPS game
Glad that Johnny reviewed this game, definitely one of the most underrated games out there. The soundtrack is my favorite in the Star Fox series and the multiplayer was fun as hell.
Well, I'm early by accident. How nice.
This game is definitely underrated in my opinion. Many memories playing this game and the multiplayer.
I love this game. Its my first Starfox game and I think its genuinely good.
(EDIT): That and I love multiplayer, especially playing Falco, who I always play, on the Great Fox.
And this is the first thing I wake up to wondering when the hell it was going to come out. Fantastic.
I still think the GC was a sort of quiet Golden Age for nintendo. Other systems had more success but all of the new stuff they tried mostly payed off. Here's to hoping Nintendo's secondary series' (star fox, metroid) get some love on Switch even if it is Second party
To those who argue against the on foot sections they are a elite commando unit
This is the only other Star Fox game I'd recommend besides 64.
This is my personal favorite game in the series, I really like the switching between on ground and in the sky.
awesome review johnny
This was honestly one of my favorite games to play after school, I think this a great game, not everyone will like it, but it is a lot of the things we wanted as kid growing up. Being able to Control Fox McColud outside of the Vehicles
Assault its the way to do a good starfox in these days. Why Nintendo try to remake starfox 64 every time 😢
one of my personal favorite games in general, and my favorite Star Fox game of all. this was a pretty solid review, and i enjoyed watching it!
Not the biggest Star Fox fan, but the soundtrack is amazing.
Less than 24 hours and 65k views Johnny, gotta say you've grown a lot through effort in these last 5 years (maybe more? That's as far as I remember). Congrats
This game is wonderful!
Dammit, I had to go to sleep! Now I gotta stay up to watch another Johnny episode!!
The on foot alternate control scheme does not use tank controls. Left and right on the stick make you strafe left and right and the c-stick makes you aim. What game were you playing?
A good old cup of Johnny to lighten my day.
