I've still had no word from GAME as to what is happening with my order. I'm gonna give them a ring tomorrow morning and give thm hell.

Same. Going to wait til the post comes, just in case. However, if not then I'm cancelling and walking into town

 

Edit: Just got an e-mail with my order details and they've taken the money. It doesn't say it has been dispatched or anything

Well the 'standard' post has arrived today - junk mail etc - but the 'second' batch which only arrives when there's a lot of parcels to be delivered in the village - which I reckon will be today - is yet to come so I'm still hopeful that I'll get this today.

 

What are peoples thoughts who have played it already? How improved would you say the game is over the original say...

Graphics are very nice, lava planet has some nice effects.

 

"New" voices sound fine to me, Slippy sounds different to me but to be honest I can't really remember his old voice.

 

I don't like the gyro controls for this game, prefer the slide pad. Might have to try out the gyro controls more later. You do have to calibrate the gyro controls as well (like Wii Sports Resort / Wario Ware twisted).

 

Otherwise I'd say it plays the same as the N64 version.

 

The ability to replay any stage is very nice.

Didn't arrive :( Fucking GAME

 

Or perhaps not. GAME's twitter is indicating that pre-orders this week were all sent yesterday with parcelforce and should arrive before 5pm

 

Or not;

Your order is on it's way but it will not arrive on release day.

Well this finally arrived for me around lunch time and I've just finished it for the first time on the 3DS, I went for the left-most route, got the proper end-boss and finished with 889 hits with no continues. :awesome:

 

Not bad for a first play-through I reckon. :)

Whats everyone playing on 3ds or n64 mode? is n64 mode more difficult

 

3DS mode is easy. N64 is same as the original.

 

Quick question since mine hasn't arrived yet since GAME are being artards

 

The "multiplayer" mode...I heard that you can play it against the computer rather than other players. Is there any truth to this?

 

Just tested it. Yes, you can play it against the computer. The four levels are visually very impressive, and there are a decent amount of options.

 

Although I'm sure the original had a mode where it put a load of enemies in as targets.

Just played Corneria... the secret way didn't work.

 

Controls will take some getting used to - you go too far when you hold L or R while turning (when you let go you carry on for longer than you should tbh). Also when playing with N64 controls it's impossible to boost while charging your laser/locking on =\

 

And I can already tell the voices are going to get to me.

 

Had to turn the 3D off because I'm moving the screen around too much (only little bits but enough to annoy me). Will probably only use it for the scenes at the start and end of levels :(

 

Not saying I don't like the game though! The classic gameplay shines through despite these niggles!

 

ok, 3D on or off I'm having trouble with depth perception :nono:

 

Voices are grating me now... fight with Star Wolf... really bad English accent =\ doesn't fit at all.

 

Fox has the voice but is getting the expression all wrong lol.

Story: 7.0

Design: 7.2

Gameplay: 7.8

Presentation: 7.1

 

Overall: 7.3

 

 

 

Looks like they've spruced up the graphics really well and the voice clips used in the review didn't sound as bad as the others I'd heard. Pity about the multiplayer but Lylat Wars was always about the single player campaign!

What a needlessly negative review... :blank:

 

Not watched this review from GT but the negative review seems to be a bit of a trend for them as it's happening with a lot of the games they're reviewing right now, but they're handing out good/great scores for the games. I think their explanation has been that they want to highlight the faults with a game rather than gush about how good it is but for the most part, it's not a great way to review any game unless it's obstensibly awful, which this doesn't seem to be. ::shrug:
