History YMMV / StarFoxCommand

** The strictly stylus controls.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: The game's depiction of Krystal is very polarizing. While some seemed to sympathize with her predicament of being forced off the team for a rather dumb reason and think she was better off without Fox, others saw her as a whiny WomanScorned throughout the game who never shut up about what Fox did and was too harsh on him. Many instead blame the game itself, however, for its portrayal of Krystal and making her appear as a more divisive character.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: The Anglars' Octoman is ''not'' the same Octoman from [[VideoGame/FZero]]. They are nothing alike in personality, don't have the same number of tentacles, and aren't the same species (''Star Fox's'' Octoman is only ever called an Anglar, never a Takoran). Furthermore, James [=McCloud=] obviously isn't the same James [=McCloud=], so why should Octoman be any different?

** The game's now-defunct Nintendo WFC multiplayer mode was a chore to play, for one reason: If one player, even in a 3- or 4-player match, dropped out, '''the entire match ended for everybody''' and the match was not filed into the non-quitting players' records. This made {{ragequit}}tters and players with poor connections the bane of every player who just wanted to have one full match.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some of the endings have genuinely interesting premises that could realistically been considered as potential {{Sequel Hook}}s, like Falco forming his own team, a new Star Fox team being led by children of the main characters alongside an OlderAndWiser Falco, Dash taking over the spot of BigBad, Fox and Falco becoming ''[[VideoGame/FZero G-Zero]]'' pilots...

** The Time Limit for each fight, it is mostly generous in most of the fights but in some bosses like Star Wolf and Zazan and Octomam, they often evade your attacks and they can easily run out the clock with their stall tactics, if their mines don't drop extra time power ups causing you to lose.

* ThatOneBoss: Fighting Zazanga and Octoman on Venom can be a huge pain, as they jet constantly by you, often evading your attacks. It'll take a good amount of charged shots to take them down.

* ContestedSequel: The game pretty much divided the fanbase.

** The default ending, particularly the [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[https://i.imgur.com/h3UJVLh.png image of Krystal running from Fox]]. The Fox's OffModel face makes it difficult to take seriously.

* AntiClimaxBoss: The Arrow Head in the Asteroid Belt (guaranteed to be the first final boss you come up to) goes down without a severe amount of trouble. It's actually more intimidating when it has the home field advantage ([[spoiler:in the Venom Sea]]), on top of being suffixed with another fight by virtue of its pilot not dying in the void of space upon the vehicle's destruction.

* {{Narm}}: The "Kursed" ending. It's supposed to be tragic, but instead comes off as something out of a bad DarkFic.
* NarmCharm: While the [[BabiesEverAfter Goodbye Fox ending]] is cheesy, fans consider it one of the better endings as it fits the tone of the rest of the games and neatly wraps up the saga. It does not hurt that [[EarnYourHappyEnding it finally gives Fox and Krystal their happy ending]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: In-universe, both Krystal and Dash paint some of Andross' earlier actions as one of a scientist attempting to make Venom habitable before he turned to trying to rule the Lylat System. Dash is understandable in that [[spoiler:Andross was his grandpa]]. As for Krystal...maybe she was just yanking Fox's chain.

* BrokenBase: The general consensus for ''Command'' is very negative as it's widely considered a low point, perhaps even the lowest, for the series. And just trying to say otherwise in defense of ''Command'' will quickly result in arguments.
