I want to like it (Score 3, Informative)

Starfox SNES and Starfox 64 were brilliant games, and I had high hopes for this one, but after two weeks, I just cannot get the hang of it. I beat the initial story arc, and am now at Venom on only MY SECOND PLAYTHROUGH, and I am stuck. Flying with the stylus is NOT AT ALL intuitive. Chasing the missles is by far the most frustrating chore, but dogfighting is a close second. Braking, loops and U-turns are impossible to pull off with any kind of consistency. Since the DS has an identical button layout to an SNES controller, the omission of a traditional control scheme is unforgivable. Perhaps the game would be too simple if you had any kind of control over your craft. I am all for Nintendo's push for innovation, but flying a plane with the stylus DOES NOT WORK!!! This game is an exercise in futility, and the number one threat to the lifespan of my DS Lite.
