Star X

"Star X is highly entertaining in a retro kind of way, and the fast and furious action is guaranteed to wreck the fire key and leave your fingers blistered. There's also the promise of four way multiplayer support, although sadly this wasn't present in the preview cart we played with. There was no save game function either, with eight letter passcodes recording your progress, an oversight which we hope will be fixed by the time the game reaches retail."

"...without solid music, sound and most importantly, a compelling raison d'etre for this beautiful world to exist (and for you to sink money to play it), it's a game like the women you find in trendy boutiques downtown: all looks, great looks at that, but no heart at all."

"The early version of the game shows off a very competent framerate, slightly smoother and more detailed than what Nintendo and Argonaut did with Star Fox using the SNES hardware and the cartridge's included FX chip... But control-wise, the game isn't nearly as fluid and intuitive as Star Fox, as it's incredibly difficult to aim and fly at the same time..."

"This won't be the only polygonal engine on the Game Boy Advance, so I hope that developers working on them realize that the whole "ooh, neat, 3D" gimmick isn't enough for a game these days. Star X has that. What it doesn't have is a design that offers that all-important fun factor."

"Star X is a sight to be seen on the Game Boy Advance."
