I feel like Star Fox: Command is pretty under-rated as far as its entry in the franchise goes. It may not have been the best but it was a great re-make of the forgotten Starfox 2, and the things like the different ships with different abilities was nice.

Edit: Oh and that soundtrack was good too.

I don't actually live in Asia. West coast of Canada. I just don't have a proper sleep pattern on my weekends. (Read: Any day off)

About to go see a movie with my older brother and dad. Will likely be on later. Cool! We could totally swap stories about our greatest/worst moments in gaming/life/whatever.

In the Star Fox Fandom, Assault and Command are generally viewed as the "mediocre" games. Assault had a great concept, and the first and final levels were easily the best in the game, but Namco didn't really put much weight behind making the environments and fleshing out the story/characters well, and the AI was horrible. Enemy AI were only a threat on Gold, and even then only in large numbers, practically every level was fought solo since the team did little more than fly around and kind of attack, which almost always missed, and if they did kill something, it usually meant nothing because in the time it took them to actually kill someone you could wipe out the entire map's worth of enemies. Good concept, poorly executed. I love the soundtrack though.

Now Command, well, if you ask me, that did better in every regard than Assault, the AI was competent, the story's divergent paths made it much more fun to replay, and generally speaking it was a better game. The main issue is the voice acting or lackthereof. And Krystal's departure from the team always irked me because she was in danger and handling it well practically all the time in the last two games, why the hell would she get kicked off now? It was a poorly written plot point, in my opinion. Again, the soundtrack was wonderful and is a highlight of the series.

West Coast of Canada...I've never been to Canada, is it nice up there? And why didn't I remember provinces earlier! I saw that in For Better or For Worse where they mentioned they lived in provinces in Canada! Gah. Oh well. As for me...sleep, today I went to bed at five and got up at ten. Fun fun. I actually had to get forced to sleep since I was so unwilling to let go of my work. I just wasn't able to get back to you earlier because I had to deal with some other obligations that took up time.

Which reminds me, up until I went to bed, I was actually checking this page to see if you'd respond. I enjoy hearing from you. Probably has something to do with my general lack of human interaction because I'm buried under homework.

What movie is it? I hope it's good! Have a fun time!
