Funny thing to note, the local multiplayer only works through DS Download Play (i.e. one copy only) and of course, the game goes online. Local wireless is up to 6 players, online multiplayer is up to 4 players.
Cant pick a level in multiplayer?

I feel like the roll control might be a little problematic on later stages.
Only completed the first mission, but other than that, so far so good.

this game is better then i expected in every way. i was worried about the stylus controls and they work great. my wrist hurts a bit from playing but it's all good. i haven't tried online yet but i love the whole strategy of moving your ships on the battlefield in the single player. and the story is pretty interesting so far. glad i picked it up.
I still feel mixed on the stylus control, but I'm hoping I get better at it as the game progresses..
I'd be trying the online portion out by now, but I've yet to figure out how to get online when I'm accessing a WiFi network that requires an HTML login page. I have a USB adaptor (generic) and a network card, but now I can't get an IP address on the DS... grrr...

We bought two of of them in store at Future Shop today an got $10 the pair off by default. So $29.99 CAD. Great price.

With the USB adapter I'd think you would be able to just log in with the PC first, but if you're connecting the DS directly to the network and it requires html login, you're pretty well screwed... althought this brings up an interesting question. If one had the DS browser, would logging in through that allow you to maintain login priveleges if you shut off the system and change games?DavidDayton said:

I wasn't going to be able to buy this until Sunday since I'm broke at the moment. I was just doing some dishes a moment ago and decided to clean out my toaster.
Ended up finding this little guy sitting in the bottom, which I had lost in January:
It was more curled up than in the picture and very stiff, so I had to heat it over my stove and uncurl it so I could see the serial code inside.
$57.82 on the card when I checked online! Bought Star Fox for pickup in my local store tomorrow morning.
I love it when little things like this work out.

Logically it should, as the MAC address remains the same.
I've gotten myself online now. Whee... did one set of battles. I'm a little surprised by the lack of voice chat between battles, etc.. MPH had a good interface -- why don't we still have that?
Star Fox 64 >>>> Star Fox > Star Fox Command >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> Star Fox Assault > Star Fox Adventures
Assault was technically the worst game overall, but at least it didn't waste a whole lot of time between the only good levels (the first and last). Adventures was mediocre at best with some shitty rails levels sprinkled in.
Command is all right so far. The strategy and dogfighting is a little basic, but not too bad. It would've been king if it was all on-rails.

Well I guess I'll be getting SFC. GAF hype pulls me in once again. I still want a traditional on-rails SF for the DS, though.
BTW, can this game be played with the thumbstrap?

I dunno if I'd say it is better than Assault yet. I've only played a little so far and I'm disappointed in the lack of real levels. Giant open arenas lack the element of surprise from Assault's multiplayer. It is totally different.Bartman3010 said:

The strategy element is really cool and fits the series. However, there still should be a couple of on-rail levels in addition.

I'd like the next Star Fox to return to what Namco had going with Assault's multiplayer. I don't like the strategy gameplay found in command. It just slows things down.

In the box there's an ad for:
"If you like Star Fox Command, Check out these other great games."
It shows box arts for Mario Hoops 3on3, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 and New Super Mario Bros.
Both Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 and Mario Hoops 3on3 have Nintendo WiFi Connection blue dots on them.
Even though the japanese verison didn't have it, are they planning on adding WiFi connection play in for the US Version of Mario Hoops, or is it an error? Pretty big error to put the WiFi connection logo on the box art and tease me like that.

I'm not a fan of strategy games, so I find this element to slow down the pace of the game, but overall, I'm still having fun with SF:C.
Yeah, the game is solid on all fronts. My only real gripes are the lack of on-rail levels (which isn't TOO offensive since this game focuses more on dogfighting than anything else), and the barrel roll, which has been awesomely redone from a mechanics standpoint, but can be a little imprecise in getting it to start.
I dig the concept so far, though just like the last few Starfox titles, the namebrand just seems tacked on to some gimmickry idea. Fortunately, this time the execution is pretty damned inventive and enjoyable. Stylus control is quite smooth after a bit of practice.
Can't help but feel the time limit is just tossed in to alleviate how the whole game concept is still in its infancy. Nevertheless its pretty damned cool in the early goings.

I kinda agree, but forced or not, it DOES tend to up both the difficulty and the strategy factor, since the timer spans the ENTIRE mission, and not just that particular skirmish/battle. I believe the timer is explained away, in-game, as fuel, btw, so it makes that you'd only have so much fuel for a given mission... Though you can occasionally pick up those +25 second fuel drop containers dropped by enemies, etc.

Contact was delayed until October. Also, what is DQH about? I'm curious.
I'm loving the game so far. Maybe not a must-buy, but definitely a "strongly consider."
Played it for about an hour and a bit.
Pretty fun game, I finished mission 3 with the

Great game, both the single and multi modes are fun...although I'm like WFC better at the moment.
