![]() ![]() You take control of a battle spacecraft called the Arwing, its mobility and functions are basic but effective: you move vertically and horizontally while the ship goes its way. It is pretty much that, and while it may sound basic (and definitely it is) it works incredibly with the tone and overall rhythm of the game. Rating: Buy at Full Price Rating Scale from worst - best: Avoid, Play Out of Morbid Curiosity, Online Subscription/Rent/Borrow, Buy on Sale, Buy Full Price, MasterpieceĨ0% Nintendo 3DSFor starters, the story goes more or less like this: after some time in exile a mad and evil scientist called Andross has been attacking the Lylat System with different kinds of weapons, and the Star Fox team is called to find out what is Andross planning and stop him from doing so. I intend on replaying Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet for the Gamecube soon, so perhaps I’ll change my mind. All in all, this is sadly the best Starfox game there is, even 20 years later. This game stays fun throughout each level, and doesn’t pad playtime with unnecessary filler. Now that I this retails for $20 and often goes on sale, I don’t think the length is worth fussing over. ![]() If you purchased this full price, especially back in the days of the N64, that’s a valid argument. Some people complain about this game’s length. I definitely intend to do this when I don’t feel like committing to a particular game and just want to play my 3DS for less than an hour. What’s nice about this version is the ability to go back and play just one level for a high score. I played through the campaign twice more to ensure I completed every level. Fortunately, the rest of the game was smooth, and the planet Zoneness that is played right after Aquos had a great looking ocean and rain effects. That level was a stuttery mess during the N64 days, and it’s still stuck in frame rate Hell here. The only rough spot I came across during my initial playthrough was the planet Aquos. The stereoscopic 3D is showcased well here, and I see why Nintendo made this a launch title (I think?) for the 3DS. Everything was reworked from the music to the voice acting to the graphics. I didn’t think I would have any interest in a remake, but I’m glad Nintendo put time into this. It’s a super short title, but it’s simple fun and a breeze to play. ![]() I finished this game for the N64 back in the 90s a countless number of times, exploring every single path. Truth be told, I’m playing the game roughly 7 years after the 3DS release and over 20 years after the initial N64 release. Nintendo polished this title up really nice for the 3DS, and it’s crazy how good it looks. At the end of the day, I'm glad to have finally played this one, but after having been interested in checking out the star Fox series for the longest time, it doesn't fill me with much confidence that everyone says this one's the best.ĩ0% Nintendo 3DSHands down, this is the definitive edition of this game. I guess the appeal is mainly its replayability, being able to mix and match different level combinations and going for high score medals, but I don't think I had enough fun with my first time through each level to feel any desire to go to that effort. I had fun with it, but didn't really feel like it deserved any more of my time after seeing all the different levels. It's not a BAD game or anything, far from it, it just feels. After hearing most of my gaming life about how this was one of the best games on the N64 and one of the best rail shooters period, I really wasn't too impressed. 60% Nintendo 3DSMaybe it's just because I'm only now playing this one 20+ years after the original came out, but I'm really not sure I understand the hype.
