Pretty Good, August 19, 2002
Star X is a aracade style fly and fry game which is very similar to Star Fox for the SNES. If you liked that, you will like this. It has the same forced forward scroll levels, as well as some free flying ones in space. There are several different weapons that you can pick up to increase your fire power. There are nine planets, with a challenging boss at the end of each one. A free flying space level follows each planet. My main gripe is the password based save.

Generic Star Fox clone (starship dog fighting), May 27, 2002
Once upon a time with SNES a space dog fighting game was born and its name was Star Fox. The graphics were made out of polygons and very little detail was used in the game, but it had a very intense action and star fighting. Star X has recreated Star Fox for the Gameboy Advance, featuring 22 missions (2 per stage with a boss and password at the end of each). The down side about those 22 missions is that they are each fairly short. When you play the second mission you will realize that the odds against you are ridiculous, as wave after wave of ships, cannons, and crafts come after you. Fortunately there are several different varieties of planes, ships, traps, cannons per stage. The graphics are simple and not at all detailed (the game uses polygons to construct everything from scenery, planes, tanks and even lasers that are shot). There is a nice feature when shooting which will allow you to lock onto enemy targets. There is one thing that sums up the game though "generic" you are a nameless starship going against an evil army, but that's it (Bam Entertainment the company that made this game is known for producing clones of games). If you enjoyed Star Fox, you will enjoy this.

High-flying Star X, July 11, 2002
This is a high-flying, alien-blasting, shoot-em up game. It has very great graphic for the fact that it's not like a handhled X-Box or something. The story: you're a human pilot who went with some diplomats to an alien planet. Hoping for peace your group met with theirs, but the aliens aren't quite the talk it out type of guys so when they see your group they literally blow it up. Now you're the last force between these 'Karask' and earth. Can you stop them before every human is a slave. Fly through 22 missions in 9 alien worlds, including some levels in outer space. Destroy enemy craft. Get power-ups for your laser, shield, and even collect smart-bombs to blow up those aliens. Gun power-ups can go with you to further levels. This game also has a practice mode to get you used to flying before you take on the Karask. About the only con is the cartridge art. Bam! should have put a little more effort into it but art doesn't make a game. You will love this game. Happy gaming.
