Wild Blue Skies

I liked this game,

※チュートリアルが英語で始まってしまったら、スタートボタン押してSetting→日本語切り替え HAHAHAやらかしたｗ 自分はスターフォックスというより任天堂のゲーム機で遊んだ経験が無い人間。SEGA人ｗ ということで前評判に釣られて買ってみたｗ グラフィックは良いし遊びやすいのは事実（画面酔いしない！最高！）だけど、 スターフォックス経験者に合わせた様なゲームバランスが気になる。 最初のステージで洞窟に入るシーンが有るが、 自分そんなの知らなくて入口の壁にぶつかったら、壁に埋まったままゲームが進行。 当然「石の中に居る！」状態なので操舵不能になりダメージ受け続けて墜落。 今の時代、ゲームの難易度設定でEASYが有ればガイド表示機能は設けられて当然だし、 開発は「みんな知ってるよね！」というスタンスで作られている様子なので、 当時を知らない人が遊んだら困る事いっぱい出てくるのに、開発もデバッガーも仕事しているのか疑問。 壁に当たれば弾かれて、ふらつきながら進行方向へ向いても良さそうなのだが？ プレイヤーに気づきを与えてくれないのは残念である。 少なくとも、当時と現代では状況が違う。 今のお子様が楽しく遊べる土壌を用意するのも必要ではないかと思う。 懐古厨を自認する人は遊んで後悔しないのではないかと思うが、 コレジャナイと投げるのは自由。 自分は最初のステージで壁に当たってわからん死する以外は良く出来ているなあと思った。 滑らかな動きは本当に良かった。

Generell eine tolle Idee Star Fox64 wieder aufleben zu lassen. Als echter Star Fox 64 Fan gefällt mir allerdings nicht, dass das Spiel wirklich eine 1:1-Kopie des alten Spiels ist. Die Welten wirken weniger ernst, weniger bedrohlich und wirklich JEDE Kleinigkeit ist kopiert. Es gibt kein einziges neues Feature und leider kann man keine Loopings, Kehrtwenden oder coole Manöver fliegen. Die letzte Station auf der unteren Route vor dem Endgegner ist 1:1 identisch - sogar das zu zerstörende Terminal sieht 100% gleich aus - während die Kämpfe wesentlich weniger schwer sind. Man ist viel beweglicher mit seinem Flugzeug, hat keine toten Winkel und man muss sich daher leider keine Mühe geben Gegner zu besiegen. Das Spiel bietet eigentlich wahnsinnig viel Potential coole Luftkämpfe, neue Features, tolle Animation, herausfordernde Flugpassagen und noch viel mehr zu gestalten. Unter'm Strich bleibt es in meinem Augen aber deutlich unter seinen Möglichkeiten. Echt schade. Allerdings hat es einige alte Erinnerungen wieder aufleben lassen, was ich den Entwicklern zu Gute halten möchte.

A serviceable homage to Star Fox 64, though not terribly original and feels undertuned in some places. I like the characters and the voice acting. The graphics can be quite pretty, very colorful cartoon cel-shaded visuals. And it does feel good to play once you get the hang of it. This game is quite noticeably harder than the game that inspired it. I have nothing against a challenge, but I do wonder how much of the challenge was deliberate on the designers' part vs. how much stuff was under-tuned. For example, your default basic blasters feel pathetically weak, even tiny mook enemies or item crates feel really tanky with these things. You have to fully upgrade your blasters in order to feel like you're doing noticeable damage against anything, and you're also able to lose these blasters if you take too many hits. So in most cases you're better off relying on your lock-on charge shots which are a separate button, and it feels like you basically have to be right up against an enemy's ass to lock onto it. Stages have separate completion objectives for medals and ribbons - medals are obtained by collecting four Donkey Kong Country-style letter medallions in the level whereas ribbons are obtained by shooting down the level's score quota. And you need to master bank-turning by rolling your ship in order to maneuver better. So those are things I can safely say are intentionally more challenging. But in addition to the weak default blasters there's also things like enemies being more tanky and persistently chasing you in all-range levels, and also having lasers that make you lose altitude which they are quite accurate with. On top of that you have no easy evasion maneuvers like somersaults or u-turns. And teammates don't really let you know when an enemy is chewing them up so they have a tendency to die rather quickly. The levels feel like they adhere to the source inspiration material of Star Fox 64 a bit too closely. You have a map with all the different levels and all the same story beats and level gimmicks happen on the exact same spots as they do in SF64, even including a rotating base mission and the introduction of a rival team (which occur on the same levels). Could've been a bit more imaginative in its presentation and story. But overall, it's decent, if a bit clunky. Get it if you like Star Fox and don't mind a harder game.

I absolutely love how replayable Wild Blue Skies is! I jumped in thinking I could beat the game first playthrough or at least have checkpoints but nope. Makes me want to play over and over again just to beat the game on the easiest difficulty path haha! Reminds me of when I played Star fox/64 all those years ago, But for some reason feels more challenging/unforgiving? Like I had to relearn how your ship controls, map layout, how to take out each boss, find secret paths. Its amazing to have a very similar On-rail Arcady shooter that feels new to me! Also of course I absolutely adore all the characters/simple animations and voice lines! Definitely recommend, especially for the price!~

Très déçu de ce jeu.... j'en attendais beaucoup au niveau des combats, de la visibilité et de la prise en main. Mais au secours ! Le jeu parait lent ?? et ahhh le fait qu'on puisse pas changé l'angle de caméra et qu'on voit pas sur quoi on tire euuuuh ?!! vraiment un coups manqué la... l'esthétique était pourtant si attrayant. Et encore en jeu c'est tous si plat dooonc même ça ne se rattrape pas ::// si triste.!

I played two stages and just have absolutely no interest in it. It looks great, sure, but come on, guys... it’s just too much of a copy-paste job. Just look at the scene with the first boss ("You'll never defeat Andross") and then flying through the waterfalls after saving your partner man, that is a 1:1 copy. I’ve requested a refund for the game.

New star fox like, excellent replayability. ship blocks my view just like in the SNES days.
