26/1 - StarFox Command - DS

Arcade flight/strategy. Online and local multiplayer, stylus controlled.

I bought this recently and initially enjoyed it quite a bit. The action is fun and the strategy elements are also moderately interesting, if a little light on strategy and heavier on trial and error - mostly thanks to limited turns and 'fog of war'.

However, I'm a fair way in and it's starting to get a little samey and fiddley now. If like me you found the controls to Metroid Prime: Hunters gave you 'The Claw' then you'll probably begin to loathe the ones here too. Not great, worth picking up for cheap if you see it I guess, unless you're chiefly interested in the online mode.
