Raptor....and please play battletoads with MatPat he says he's been askin for awhile just want to see to very good friends get closer in the ways of battle....toads. Lol. By the way great episode i love seein Ted dress up its really funny.
Same I played past Zelda games like ocarina but I didn't truly love the legend of Zelda games til Twilight Princess for GameCube I love star fox adventure and assault.
Unpopular opinion, but I genuinely, unironically loved this game. And beat it multiple times. However, I will also be the first to admit that I went into the game mostly blind. I was aware of Star Fox and what Star Fox 64 was, but had never played it. I had never played LoZ: Ocarina of Time either. I played Starfox Adventures merely as the game that it was, not as a franchise game and had a great time with it. Save for some of the infuriating puzzles. (Apparently I'm the only person who never had trouble with that lightfoot trial of strength minigame.) Aiming controls were wonky as hell though, I fully agree. They had no idea what they were doing there. But the game itself is gorgeous. (For the time period it was released) And I have to wholeheartedly disagree on the music argument Jirard made. I loved the character that the tunes carried. The different tracks for different areas. And I've got to attribute that to the fact that it was composed by David Wise, who worked alongside Grant Kirkhope for Donkey Kong Country's tracks, among others. Also yeah, Tricky is an irritating companion, but I tolerated it. Either way, the main point here is yes. That floating dinosaur shopkeeper is the best thing ever. "Put that down! You don't have enough SCARABS!"
The OST is totally worthy of listening to on it's own tbh... David Wise captured the tribal and shamanic feel quite exquisitely in my opinion. It would have fit better had it paired with the original characters and rather esoteric plotline intended for Dinosaur Planet, but it's still an amazing soundtrack nonetheless. David Wise seemed to be creating the music with an ancient, mystical, psychedelic landscape in mind, and the starfox aspect somewhat takes away from that. Regardless, it's still a wholesome game, even though it's full potential was quashed by Nintendo...
Unpopular Opinion? Didn't most people love this game when it first came out? I did. lol oh and the aiming? yeah trash, though that was kind of a Rare thing, a lot of their games aiming was like that.
I think the "sexy music" that plays and the "objectification" were MEANT to be an implication that Fox is extremely smitten, but RARE are(or were) jokers who couldn't help but make it ridiculous.
@@flightlesschicken7769 I think his point was that he wad playing it as it was intended dispite playing on the Wii... Forgetting you can ONLY play this game with a game cube controller regardless.

I just find it hilarious that this game while decent in its own right will always be remembered for 1 thing above all else, the introduction of one of the biggest furrybait characters of all time.
As a kid I really enjoyed this game, I found it a whole shitton of fun. As a Star Fox game, it is definitely an outlier, but even today, I still found it very fun.
I agree, I rented the game and found plenty of enjoyment but I didn't get far until I got older to the point that could comprehend and finish a video game and enjoy the games better moments. I was a little slow on some of the puzzle solving early in the game and got stuck.
This is a great game I used to play it all the time. I've probably beaten it around 3 times I'd definitely play it again if I still had a GameCube. I wish they had made a sequel that was even better.
It's not an outlier, Fox is a mercenary who takes on jobs for money, he originally was on foot (this is shown in the comic before the game was released)
Since when was the GameCube a untrustworthy piece of machinery?? My cousin threw his down the stairs twice and never had an issue with it. Most robust and reliable console I ever played on
It had one weak point... the laser. I don't know exactly why, but in my time, two gamecubes ended up with damaged lasers that wouldn't read discs anymore.

I'm definitely talking with rose-colored glasses now, but I remember fondly this game. I loved so much this game. I was young at the time. Fox was my favorite character from Super Smash Bros., I was really impressed by the "next gen" graphics and the details of the world; mainly the fur and the grass. And moreover, Fox, a young adventurer, lands in an "unknown" planet where he (you) discover new stuff constantly. It's another world! Not to mention, you are on a quest to save a beautiful girl! Precisely these are the things that I yearn in games nowadays, but simply aren't present. It's sad but I haven't enjoyed games at the same level as yore.
@iLoveJackingOn I feel like there was a brief window of time during the Gamecube/PS2 era when 3D games had simple but stylized graphics. These ones held up very well even into the modern age while games from the 360 era went for a more realistic look that is very dated now.
You've really gotta love the irony of Rare being paid to shoehorn Fox into a game in which he really has no place, and writing him as a character who's literally only doing whar he does in the game because he's getting paid for it...
You defiantly should, even if you haven't played it before you'll get a great sense of nostalgia and overall its a good title. 7 months late but did you get it?
That movie somehow got linked to one of the most importsnt times in my life just simply by watching it around the same time. Such a weird movie but genuinely hard to take your eyes off of.
One of my favorites GC games, I remember getting impressed by the graphics(specially Fox's fur and the water, it seemed so realistic for me), not to mention the songs. I replayed this game a lot when I was a kid and I remember that for some years I could only play till 56% progress, that's the part you need to go through 2 mini-games at the village and I couldn't beat the one you need to mash A button really fast. After beating this game I begged my parents to buy me SF Assault, and when I finished that one I cried because it was too short and I really wanted some new SF content.
Is there more to the Jurassic Park song? That's all I can remember. Great review! Probably the best review of Star Fox Adventures on the internet! Makes me want to play it again.
Nah, some just reference his video like Stairfax its a funny video with a few good points espescially towards the original reception of the game. Here's a good let's play of the game from Masaeanela ruclips.net/video/agcSkiZLNj8/видео.html
I dislike this game because I played it. Its a bunch of nothing; dinosaurs that can't feed themselves, mechanics that are kmart brand Zelda, really cheesy sound design, and a whack theme. Its redeeming qualities are all visual, as it uses a lot of effects and shaders that didn't become common until 6+ years later on the HD consoles. The game actually acknowledges how dumb it is quite a lot, but in a "we didn't want to make it like this," way rather than a self aware one.
I beat this game as a child, but I remember it was not worth replaying. There is absolutely nothing to discover by replaying it, nothing new to experience, and beating it a second time is identical to the first.
@@enderpup9289 Not exactly. She was supposed to be the protagonist along a Wolf dude named Saber. I guess when Fox took Saber's place Nintendo didn't want Fox to ahve to share the starring role with Krystal, so they made her as inconsequential to the story as possible.
@@AndresLionheart No because Krystals story heavily relied on Saber. So when Fox replaced Saber, then Krystals story didn't make any sense so it was instead given to fox as well.
This game really just suffered from time constraints. Being changed to a different console, having an unrelated franchise shoved in, and the company being bought out. It really shows in some of the later areas that they had to quickly throw something together because they didn't have time for their original ideas. Looking in the code, it's clearly only half finished. Literally about half of the maps were deleted. There are scenes that try to animate Krystal, and they've just put in a bodge to make them use Fox instead. Even a couple deleted levels still in there. If they hadn't been forced to stick Star Fox into a game that it didn't belong in, maybe they'd have had time to give it the polish it needed. It's good, but not great, but you can tell it had a huge amount of potential that never got to be realized. One thing it is though is absolutely beautiful. Look at how detailed these characters and environments are, at twice the frame rate of the much less graphically complex Wind Waker. (Not to say WW doesn't also look great; just that this style takes more processing power.) Krystal is pretty cute too~ I've actually been modding this game to improve on some of the more annoying parts (hiding the item counters is coming!) and fix some bugs. It's a lot of fun to work on.
This game was my childhood nemesis. I just couldn't beat the final Andross fight, but this game will forever be one of my favorite GameCube gamesand I loved everything about it that it did differently from the main Starfox franchise. As a kid I had only played Starfox 64, but wasn't thaaaat much of a fan. I liked it, but the reason I LOVED Star Fox Adventure was because you could actually walk around with Fox and not gonna lie I think the Graphics for Gamecube were insanely good IMO. Loved the music as well.
This game is really underated with all the new releases, they could have taken inspiration from this old classic. Man when people bring up all time best gamecube games, this never gets mentioned.
5:47 that's how Fox is, he's a mercenary...he gets his job done as quickly as possible. Although he does care he doesn't show it cuz his character is stoic, I wouldn't say players can't care bcuz "Fox doesn't care" cuz with Zelda games Link doesn't talk but players still care
I actually really enjoyed this mission. Nintendo should redo this game and make it much larger. And have Krystal be playable, not trapped in a crystal.
Considering the big N barely does anything Star Fox (this franchise makes Metroid look loved), probably not going to happen... (as much as I agree with you)
People complain about SFA for being a “Zelda clone” or a deviation from a traditional Star Fox game, yet nobody calls Mario Kart or Mario Party “not a good Mario game” over not being platformers.
Yeah. people always jump to the conclusion that "She was just made to be a furry's wetdream" or some shit like that. Whenever I knew them as a kid, they were just an amazing member of the Starfox Team. It sucks that they keep trying to reproduce Starfox 64 and abandoning the ideas that helped expand the series. I'd love to see a mix-up of Assault and Starfox Zero with multiplayer. On foot combat and numerous other vehicles to operate would be amazing.
@@General_Cap Assault was just way to short, and it lacked 64's route system and various other things that could happen on missions for replayability. Though for the little game that was there for assault, it was quite solid.
@@bluenova123 it also had a redundant unlock system for multiplayer maps and characters. I had no idea jetpacks were in the game until I used a 100% save file. Also multiplayer was pretty damn unbalanced across the board, but was still fun to ride atop an arwing as a pilot.
This game was good, but certainly not great. There were just so many parts that were obviously...not done well. The Lightfoot test of strength minigame seemed so broken as a child. Or the complete skip of the General Scales boss fight for Andross. Who thought THAT was a good idea...?
I had to borrow a turbo controller from my friend to beat it. I later found out all GC controllers have a turbo button inside them, you just have to open the thing up to find it.
10:20 idk why people complain about Tricky 💀 that actually makes it more realistic. Realistically u will have to watch over Tricky, he's just a kid so logically it makes sense to keep him fed especially if he's helping u
This was my first Star Fox game. THIS is what a Star Fox game was to me. Its been 8 years since I've played it, so I doubt it's as good as I remember. :P
You are aware that this game is basically Mario 2 or Star Fox? This game is Dinosaur Planet what was turn into Star Fox for marketing reasons, but it has almost nothing to do with franchise itself.
This was also the first starfox game i've played, i've tried the other starfox games in the series, but starfox adventures will always be in my heart as number 2 (the zelda serie is numba one).
This game pretty much defined my childhood, so I was a bit worried that you'd rip it apart like everyone else. But I actually agree with most of the points you made in this video. Thank you for giving this game a fair chance Mr. Dragonrider. P.S. No, the fact that I love this game does not mean I'm a furry :/
Exactly the words I came here to say. Have finished this game at least 5 times. I loved it so much probably because I didn't play any starfox before it. Haha.
Finally! An actual honest review of one of my favorite childhood games. Yes, the game doesnt feel 100% like a starfox game. But Fox is a Space Mercenary. He's supposed to go down to planets and deal with whatever weird thing he encounters there. It's not always going to be "Hey take your arwing and take down these baddies in space." It's "Hey some planet fully occupied by dinos needs help" And yes, the game had major weak points. One of them being that we werent able to defeat the main antagonist of the game and just awkwardly shove Andross in there. Andross had no need to be in there. We dont ALWAYS need to fight andross. If they replaced Andross with a hard Scales final boss. It would have been great! Honestly, I'm glad you were unbiased. Most people just say "Starfox Adventures is a piece of shit" because either they want to agree with other people or because they just dont like change. It was a really good game for it's time and budget. Thank you for making the review. It was nice to see it from an honest critique perspective. (One of the worst thing in this game though is that Fox had human fingers in his fingerless glove. Like what the fuck) Edit: Also, please review Starfox Assault! I feel that game was good and didnt get the recognition it deserved
While I’m sad that Dinosaur Planet the game never got released, it’s honestly for the best. That game was going to be released on the N64DD, and we all know how successful *that* system was. My biggest problem is that Krystal was shoved to the damsel in distress role. That can be a useful plot element, but it wasted valuable character development. In fact, even the damsel in distress role can be used for character development. Look at peach in the first two Paper Mario games. She was a damsel in distress, but she still did everything she could to help Mario, from gathering information, to giving him useful items. It made Peach charming. In Adventures, Krystal is comatose for 95% of the game. What Nintendo should’ve done is kept the character switching mechanics from DP; have Fox blast his way through dungeons to collect the Spell Stones (because Nintendo’s excuse for Fox not having his blaster was just stupid), and then switch to Krystal to solve puzzles so she can collect the Krazoa Spirits. And they had a perfect reason for why Fox can’t do the Krazoa Tests; only a person with a pure heart can enter the Shrines. While Fox isn’t a bad guy, he’s saving the planet because he’s in desperate need of a paycheck; not exactly a “pure” mindset. After you get the first Spell Stone and Krazoa Spirit, have Fox and Krystal meet and team up, realizing they need each other in order to save the planet. Boom! More opportunities for character development! Nintendo had a Golden Goose of story opportunities here, and they squandered it. Maybe they’ll fix it with a remaster, but that seems as unlikely as F-Zero fans getting a new game.
@@MyGamer125 i played this game as a kid, and throughout this video i was thinking about how this game could be improved your suggestions are fantastic, would love to see even just a fan try to remake this game in a way like you just described starfox adventures had a lot of potential but unfortunately didn't quite live up to it
I don't care what anyone says, Adventures was amazing. There are very few games where I can confidently say that I can sit down and play it from start to finish 100% in one sitting, on a whim. Adventures is one such game. One summer vacation, I sat down and decided to play this game from start to finish in a completion run. 10 hours, only getting up to use the restroom or grab food. I absolutely *adored* this game, and will never get the hate that it got.
The Gamecube isn't untrustworthy. It's considered to be Nintendo's 6th most durable hardware. The first place being GBC, the second place being GBA then 3rd GB, then 4th N64, then 5th SNES and then 6th Gamecube.
As unappreciative of Jirard's work it may seem, one of my favourite parts of this channel is to see some old childhood favourites appear in my sub box out of nowhere. There's virtually no way for them to come up in any new way in my daily life - except through this channel. And I love that
Coming here for two reasons. One thank you for helping out the game theory channel which reminded me that I was going to subscribe to you. I started with your spiderman video and completely forgot to subscribe. But his video reminded me so I wanted to say thanks for helping him and also say I love what you do with your videos. Congratulations for reaching 1m subs and I hope your channel continues to grow. Cheers.
I love that they made a madeup language for the game. Very cool in my opinion. Just sounds of then they say the english names and places. But still love that they did it.
I relied to someone else with this response I'm going to give you, I gave this game more kinship with banjo and kazooie, considering the sidekick mechanics involved.
It isn't lol, Fox is a fox and foxes are found in every land on earth, Fox was inspired by a kitsune which has magic and Fox McCloud was originally an on foot adventurer. His Arwing was only used for War/transportation
This is a game me and my brothers played the hell out of. My older brother had a hard time beating the final boss and me and my little brother would watch. When he finally beat it we all got so excited. Simple times, man.
When I was a kid I thought star fox assault was going to be star fox adventures 2 with the same Zelda style gameplay and I was very disappointed when I first played it lol
The entire "It's a good [blank], but not a good (franchise name) [blank]" mentally should really die off already. It's idiotic. No name should demand certain standards or expectations.
Idk, if they made a Zelda game that looked and functioned like a star fox game even if it was amazing it'd still be weird and out of place and I think that's what people mean. Even though this game is officially part of the franchise it doesn't fit the star fox mold at all. If you really like other star fox games that doesn't really tell you if you'll like this game.
Mr. Pokirby I disagree. People play a game for a certain genre or type of game. There would be nothing special about a game series if it did whatever it wants. If a Mario game became a dungeon crawler and was a part of the main series, people would be angry. Especially when that is Zelda’s thing. It is also technically false advertising.
They did make a Zelda game that was like a Star Fox game. Link's Crossbow Training. They also made a dynasty warriors style game with Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity literally being a prequel to BOTW. Honestly though, long running franchises trying different genres isn't anything new so it's kinda weird that Star Fox Advnetures is always singled out. I don't think this game tricked any Star Fox fans back in the day either. It was pretty upfront as being marketed as an adventure game and not a shooter, no different than Sonic Adventure being an adventure game and not a 2d side scrolling platformer
Disappointed that Okami got such a harsh review for being too much of a Zelda rip-off while _this_ of all things got a pass because one could do much worse for a Zelda-inspired adventure game. Jirard, you're really slipping lately.
i got this game for christmas all those years ago with a special limited edition Mario Kart Double Dash gamecube bundle, which also came with its own limited edition all in one zelda disk. which had all the home console zelda games (or most of them anyway) in one disk. I also got Pikmin, Finding nemo, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. what a day! i spent like an hour playing starfox adventures on my own. before letting my little sister play with me on double dash.
Jirard I don't remember if you have already played and/or completed the other Gamecube StarFox game, but its called StarFox Assault. It deserves your time and attention.

Is there more to the Jurassic Park song? That's all I can remember.
Great review! Probably the best review of Star Fox Adventures on the internet! Makes me want to play it again.
Most people hate this game because of the jontron video and that's sad
Nah, some just reference his video like Stairfax its a funny video with a few good points espescially towards the original reception of the game. Here's a good let's play of the game from Masaeanela ruclips.net/video/agcSkiZLNj8/видео.html
I thought it was an okay game. Not great, not terrible.
Its more like zelda lite at least for myself.
Not really. Jon’s video is the reason I throughly enjoy this game.
I dislike this game because I played it. Its a bunch of nothing; dinosaurs that can't feed themselves, mechanics that are kmart brand Zelda, really cheesy sound design, and a whack theme. Its redeeming qualities are all visual, as it uses a lot of effects and shaders that didn't become common until 6+ years later on the HD consoles.
The game actually acknowledges how dumb it is quite a lot, but in a "we didn't want to make it like this," way rather than a self aware one.
I beat this game as a child, but I remember it was not worth replaying. There is absolutely nothing to discover by replaying it, nothing new to experience, and beating it a second time is identical to the first.
I fucking loved this game, one of the first gamecube games I ever played when I was young 🤣
You know even if starfox adventures was dinosaur island
Furries would still ship krystal and fox
Krystal was supposed to be Dinosaur plant's main character before Star fox. Nintendo been throwing her under the bus since 2002
@@enderpup9289 Not exactly. She was supposed to be the protagonist along a Wolf dude named Saber. I guess when Fox took Saber's place Nintendo didn't want Fox to ahve to share the starring role with Krystal, so they made her as inconsequential to the story as possible.
@@AndresLionheart No because Krystals story heavily relied on Saber. So when Fox replaced Saber, then Krystals story didn't make any sense so it was instead given to fox as well.
How many scarabs do you wish to gamble? 🦕
best thing about Star Fox Adventures is the introduction of Krystal...she's been my favorite character in the series ever since.
Furries everywhere thank this game for existing at all. ...For obvious reasons.
Jirard is confirmed furry hater.
Krystal?
@@SetoShadowVT Yes! She's the most famous in the Furry Community
@Cyber Console wolf I didn't say this game kickstarted furries. I said furries are happy this game exists.
Kaibaman41
Krystal!
This game really just suffered from time constraints. Being changed to a different console, having an unrelated franchise shoved in, and the company being bought out.
It really shows in some of the later areas that they had to quickly throw something together because they didn't have time for their original ideas.
Looking in the code, it's clearly only half finished. Literally about half of the maps were deleted. There are scenes that try to animate Krystal, and they've just put in a bodge to make them use Fox instead. Even a couple deleted levels still in there.
If they hadn't been forced to stick Star Fox into a game that it didn't belong in, maybe they'd have had time to give it the polish it needed. It's good, but not great, but you can tell it had a huge amount of potential that never got to be realized.
One thing it is though is absolutely beautiful. Look at how detailed these characters and environments are, at twice the frame rate of the much less graphically complex Wind Waker. (Not to say WW doesn't also look great; just that this style takes more processing power.)
Krystal is pretty cute too~
I've actually been modding this game to improve on some of the more annoying parts (hiding the item counters is coming!) and fix some bugs. It's a lot of fun to work on.
I loved this game growing up. It was my introduction to Star Fox
I recommend Star Overdrive as a successor to SF Adventures.
This is my favorite starfox. I would love to have them remake this.
It's impossible to read the title as anything other than Stairfax Temperatures
Kiss my black asscheeks ya bitch
Good Jon-ton joke!
Man y'all are too mean. Jon's still funny.
@@steviewonder8656 how was you even able to type?
I would just like to defend Fox. He does end up caring by the end, creating an awesome relationship with Tricky and others. He grows, which is rad.
Ah yes. Stairfax Temperatures
I was gonna say that lol
Jonathan Tronathan
Ah yes, back when Jontron was funny and reviewed games
thats a callback
DAMNIT you beat me to it. Lmao
This game was my childhood nemesis. I just couldn't beat the final Andross fight, but this game will forever be one of my favorite GameCube gamesand I loved everything about it that it did differently from the main Starfox franchise. As a kid I had only played Starfox 64, but wasn't thaaaat much of a fan. I liked it, but the reason I LOVED Star Fox Adventure was because you could actually walk around with Fox and not gonna lie I think the Graphics for Gamecube were insanely good IMO. Loved the music as well.
This game is really underated with all the new releases, they could have taken inspiration from this old classic. Man when people bring up all time best gamecube games, this never gets mentioned.
5:47 that's how Fox is, he's a mercenary...he gets his job done as quickly as possible. Although he does care he doesn't show it cuz his character is stoic, I wouldn't say players can't care bcuz "Fox doesn't care" cuz with Zelda games Link doesn't talk but players still care
The title picture didn't have the main protagonist with a beard, what the heck Jirard.
Fox naturally has a beard, the white fur around his muzzle.
How do you give a beard to a furry face?
Fox's beard is so big, it covers his body.
I actually really enjoyed this mission. Nintendo should redo this game and make it much larger. And have Krystal be playable, not trapped in a crystal.
Considering the big N barely does anything Star Fox (this franchise makes Metroid look loved), probably not going to happen... (as much as I agree with you)
I made a mod for that 👀
@@mordinchemist I recommend Star Overdrive as a successor to SF Adventures.
Star fox,the game that nintendo has no idea what to do with
Same with f zero and golden sun
They should just make it a space flight sim
That and Metroid and F-zero
@@wesleysobik9137 I recommend Star Overdrive as a successor to SF Adventures.
People complain about SFA for being a “Zelda clone” or a deviation from a traditional Star Fox game, yet nobody calls Mario Kart or Mario Party “not a good Mario game” over not being platformers.
Not gonna lie, this was my favorite one.
Mine to
I liked star Fox assault a lot the music in that was pretty awesome
Def don't agree about the soundtrack... I found it quite good, very atmospheric and memorable
Still, to this day, love this game. Have played it so many times.
I miss Krystal .She is so cool and prety.
Yeah. people always jump to the conclusion that "She was just made to be a furry's wetdream" or some shit like that. Whenever I knew them as a kid, they were just an amazing member of the Starfox Team. It sucks that they keep trying to reproduce Starfox 64 and abandoning the ideas that helped expand the series. I'd love to see a mix-up of Assault and Starfox Zero with multiplayer. On foot combat and numerous other vehicles to operate would be amazing.
Maybe if the fandom didn't have Nintendo scared to make a Star Fox game that isn't a 64 remake, we could see her again...
She's back in Smash Ultimate as an assist trophy, if that counts.
@@General_Cap Assault was just way to short, and it lacked 64's route system and various other things that could happen on missions for replayability. Though for the little game that was there for assault, it was quite solid.
@@bluenova123 it also had a redundant unlock system for multiplayer maps and characters. I had no idea jetpacks were in the game until I used a 100% save file. Also multiplayer was pretty damn unbalanced across the board, but was still fun to ride atop an arwing as a pilot.
I want to see the b-roll of how many times they broke down laughing while trying to film the scenes with the t-rex costume.
This game was good, but certainly not great. There were just so many parts that were obviously...not done well. The Lightfoot test of strength minigame seemed so broken as a child. Or the complete skip of the General Scales boss fight for Andross. Who thought THAT was a good idea...?
Matthew Jones that test of strength was the WORST as a kid
@@MasterBlade111 Here here! The test of courage was also really annoying because it sent you back with each failure.
I had to borrow a turbo controller from my friend to beat it. I later found out all GC controllers have a turbo button inside them, you just have to open the thing up to find it.
@@MasterBlade111 I had to ask my older cousin to complete this part for me.
Nice to know I wasn't the only one! Such a crappy part...
10:20 idk why people complain about Tricky 💀 that actually makes it more realistic. Realistically u will have to watch over Tricky, he's just a kid so logically it makes sense to keep him fed especially if he's helping u
This was my first Star Fox game. THIS is what a Star Fox game was to me. Its been 8 years since I've played it, so I doubt it's as good as I remember. :P
NaterTot I recommend checking out the Best Friends LP of this game,
spoiler: this game doesn’t hold up
You are aware that this game is basically Mario 2 or Star Fox? This game is Dinosaur Planet what was turn into Star Fox for marketing reasons, but it has almost nothing to do with franchise itself.
I was young when I originally played it and knew nothing of the other Star Fox games, but I realize the beauty that is Star Fox 64 now.
This was also the first starfox game i've played, i've tried the other starfox games in the series, but starfox adventures will always be in my heart as number 2 (the zelda serie is numba one).
This game pretty much defined my childhood, so I was a bit worried that you'd rip it apart like everyone else. But I actually agree with most of the points you made in this video. Thank you for giving this game a fair chance Mr. Dragonrider.
P.S.
No, the fact that I love this game does not mean I'm a furry :/
Exactly the words I came here to say. Have finished this game at least 5 times. I loved it so much probably because I didn't play any starfox before it. Haha.
Same bro this game was my childhood it’s still one of my favorite games
Hard agree this game really was just such a experience for me as a child
Lee domsoo tavok!, GENERAL SCALES!
Love this game, still one of my favorites to this day.
Finally! An actual honest review of one of my favorite childhood games. Yes, the game doesnt feel 100% like a starfox game. But Fox is a Space Mercenary. He's supposed to go down to planets and deal with whatever weird thing he encounters there. It's not always going to be "Hey take your arwing and take down these baddies in space."
It's "Hey some planet fully occupied by dinos needs help"
And yes, the game had major weak points. One of them being that we werent able to defeat the main antagonist of the game and just awkwardly shove Andross in there. Andross had no need to be in there. We dont ALWAYS need to fight andross. If they replaced Andross with a hard Scales final boss. It would have been great!
Honestly, I'm glad you were unbiased. Most people just say "Starfox Adventures is a piece of shit" because either they want to agree with other people or because they just dont like change. It was a really good game for it's time and budget.
Thank you for making the review. It was nice to see it from an honest critique perspective.
(One of the worst thing in this game though is that Fox had human fingers in his fingerless glove. Like what the fuck)
Edit: Also, please review Starfox Assault! I feel that game was good and didnt get the recognition it deserved
Grew up with assault and no it does not. It definitely deserves more recognition
Funny thing is, the players guide actually told you how to fight general scales and how to cheese the fight was to wear the soldier disguise.
While I’m sad that Dinosaur Planet the game never got released, it’s honestly for the best. That game was going to be released on the N64DD, and we all know how successful *that* system was.
My biggest problem is that Krystal was shoved to the damsel in distress role. That can be a useful plot element, but it wasted valuable character development. In fact, even the damsel in distress role can be used for character development. Look at peach in the first two Paper Mario games. She was a damsel in distress, but she still did everything she could to help Mario, from gathering information, to giving him useful items. It made Peach charming. In Adventures, Krystal is comatose for 95% of the game. What Nintendo should’ve done is kept the character switching mechanics from DP; have Fox blast his way through dungeons to collect the Spell Stones (because Nintendo’s excuse for Fox not having his blaster was just stupid), and then switch to Krystal to solve puzzles so she can collect the Krazoa Spirits. And they had a perfect reason for why Fox can’t do the Krazoa Tests; only a person with a pure heart can enter the Shrines. While Fox isn’t a bad guy, he’s saving the planet because he’s in desperate need of a paycheck; not exactly a “pure” mindset.
After you get the first Spell Stone and Krazoa Spirit, have Fox and Krystal meet and team up, realizing they need each other in order to save the planet. Boom! More opportunities for character development!
Nintendo had a Golden Goose of story opportunities here, and they squandered it. Maybe they’ll fix it with a remaster, but that seems as unlikely as F-Zero fans getting a new game.
@@MyGamer125 i played this game as a kid, and throughout this video i was thinking about how this game could be improved
your suggestions are fantastic, would love to see even just a fan try to remake this game in a way like you just described
starfox adventures had a lot of potential but unfortunately didn't quite live up to it
R There’s actually a fan-comic of this concept being played out on DeviantArt. It’s called Star Fox Re-Adventures. Check it out
I don't care what anyone says, Adventures was amazing. There are very few games where I can confidently say that I can sit down and play it from start to finish 100% in one sitting, on a whim.
Adventures is one such game. One summer vacation, I sat down and decided to play this game from start to finish in a completion run. 10 hours, only getting up to use the restroom or grab food. I absolutely *adored* this game, and will never get the hate that it got.
Those Dinosaurs aren’t dead
*They’re just missing in action*
We still got crocodiles
Dolphinboi
I think you mean
*Snappy Bois*
They're just sleeping underground.
“I read your file, lieutenant. Even the parts oni didn’t want me to”
they are game ended
0:44 WHOA that beard. Dragonrider gettin mad Wizard up in here.
Can You Complete Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time?
I come with a message from MatPat. “Its long overdue, play battle toads with MatPat.” DON’T FEAR THE TOADS MAN.
This was actually my first Star Fox game, I was actually really disappointed when I found out this was the only Star Fox of this type.
That derpy T-rex costume is a meme that'll never die.
Complete the Legend of Dragoon, and have Ted just glue bad wings onto the current T Rex costume to look like a dragon
1:20 I saw what you did there, and I loved it.
One of my favourite GameCube games. It has a lot of problems but I love the effort put into it.
The Gamecube isn't untrustworthy. It's considered to be Nintendo's 6th most durable hardware. The first place being GBC, the second place being GBA then 3rd GB, then 4th N64, then 5th SNES and then 6th Gamecube.
stair fax temperatures was one of my favorite games on the gamecube. along with smash and mario sunshine.
As unappreciative of Jirard's work it may seem, one of my favourite parts of this channel is to see some old childhood favourites appear in my sub box out of nowhere. There's virtually no way for them to come up in any new way in my daily life - except through this channel. And I love that
I'm assuming a Star Fox Assault review is coming next.
Coming here for two reasons. One thank you for helping out the game theory channel which reminded me that I was going to subscribe to you. I started with your spiderman video and completely forgot to subscribe. But his video reminded me so I wanted to say thanks for helping him and also say I love what you do with your videos. Congratulations for reaching 1m subs and I hope your channel continues to grow. Cheers.
2:27 Complete Nuts & Bolts.
I love that they made a madeup language for the game. Very cool in my opinion. Just sounds of then they say the english names and places.
But still love that they did it.
Just now noticed, Crystal has a tramp stamp and this game turned me into a lvl 1 furry
OMG!!! Someone remember this game!!!
Two words “Furry Zelda”
I relied to someone else with this response I'm going to give you, I gave this game more kinship with banjo and kazooie, considering the sidekick mechanics involved.
I mean, the games good, I’m not saying the games bad lmao.
@@paranoidfoxx and I wasn't accusing you of such.
Oh I’m dumb lmao
@@paranoidfoxx x3
I wonder How many takes of that dinosaur singing scene they went through before getting through without fits of laughter. That had me dying...
"Not terrible...but not Star Fox" is a solid way to explain this game.
It isn't lol, Fox is a fox and foxes are found in every land on earth, Fox was inspired by a kitsune which has magic and Fox McCloud was originally an on foot adventurer. His Arwing was only used for War/transportation
This is a game me and my brothers played the hell out of. My older brother had a hard time beating the final boss and me and my little brother would watch. When he finally beat it we all got so excited. Simple times, man.
This was one of the first games I ever got for my Game cube and one of the first games for it I ever beat.
When I was a kid I thought star fox assault was going to be star fox adventures 2 with the same Zelda style gameplay and I was very disappointed when I first played it lol
Same! I always wanted a sequel to this and we never got anything close to
I thought some of the music was really good, eg the background music at 1:47
I do love how there's no long loading screens between areas or when going thru temples that was pretty nice too
The entire "It's a good [blank], but not a good (franchise name) [blank]" mentally should really die off already. It's idiotic. No name should demand certain standards or expectations.
Idk, if they made a Zelda game that looked and functioned like a star fox game even if it was amazing it'd still be weird and out of place and I think that's what people mean. Even though this game is officially part of the franchise it doesn't fit the star fox mold at all. If you really like other star fox games that doesn't really tell you if you'll like this game.
Mr. Pokirby I disagree. People play a game for a certain genre or type of game. There would be nothing special about a game series if it did whatever it wants. If a Mario game became a dungeon crawler and was a part of the main series, people would be angry. Especially when that is Zelda’s thing. It is also technically false advertising.
They did make a Zelda game that was like a Star Fox game. Link's Crossbow Training.
They also made a dynasty warriors style game with Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity literally being a prequel to BOTW.
Honestly though, long running franchises trying different genres isn't anything new so it's kinda weird that Star Fox Advnetures is always singled out. I don't think this game tricked any Star Fox fans back in the day either. It was pretty upfront as being marketed as an adventure game and not a shooter, no different than Sonic Adventure being an adventure game and not a 2d side scrolling platformer
Dude I loved this game as a kid. This video brought back all the nostalgia! Great job!
Disappointed that Okami got such a harsh review for being too much of a Zelda rip-off while _this_ of all things got a pass because one could do much worse for a Zelda-inspired adventure game. Jirard, you're really slipping lately.
Connor Wiseman cos he doesn’t agree with you?
i got this game for christmas all those years ago with a special limited edition Mario Kart Double Dash gamecube bundle, which also came with its own limited edition all in one zelda disk. which had all the home console zelda games (or most of them anyway) in one disk. I also got Pikmin, Finding nemo, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. what a day! i spent like an hour playing starfox adventures on my own. before letting my little sister play with me on double dash.
I love this game but maybe that was becuase it was the first of many games I completed with my friend, also we loved the ssoundtrack!
There are still copies of Dinosaur Planet. They should release the game like Star Fox 2 was.
Jirard I don't remember if you have already played and/or completed the other Gamecube StarFox game, but its called StarFox Assault. It deserves your time and attention.
The Shopkeeper from StarFox Adventures and the Merchant from RE4 need their own spinoff series
The death of rare.
The birth of a new generation of degenerate fan-art.
Poor Krystal, tho
So much childhood nostalgia flowing through my veins right now. Holy shit.
You been doing Star Fox Games non stop dude !!!!
This was my first star fox game and technically my first Zelda game basically lol
Can’t wait for Star Fox assault as that’s a much better starfox game
