Star Fox 64

A cult classic game on the N64. I loved the graphics and the music. It really defined the Star Fox series for everyone. The dialogue is unforgettable from Slippy's complaining, Falco's constant cocky-ness, to Peppy's guidance, not to mention-- "Can't let you do that, Star Fox!". This game has fast-action in every corner, and it's fabulous! Nintendo, you've done it again like always.

Star Fox 64 is one of the many classics that we were rewarded with the Nintendo 64.

Sure we had The legend of Zelda and Super Mario which are very cool series Star Fox 64 just stands out as a great flying shooter.

What's better then being in a R-Wing and going through levels blasting enemies.

The story has Team Star Fox lead by Fox McCloud with his team mates Peppy Hare, Slippy Toad, and Falco as they must defend Corneria from Andross.

Star Fox 64 just has everything any video game fans would want in the game and then some.

The Graphics are just amazing with attention to detail to the ships and fire power plus levels are just like looking a work of art and they are such beautiful.

The controls are easy to learn and make it feel like you are ready to go to battle.

The music is very well done as it helps tells the story of the game. The voice acting is pretty interesting as well as they do have some creative voice effects for the characters.

The cut scenes are a key point to the game you have to watch them no matter what.

Game play will have you playing for hours

If you want a real classic with super graphics and tight game play and you love the Nintendo 64 then you must get Star Fox 64 other wise your collection is nothing.

I give Star Fox 64 an 10 out of 10

I'll never believe that me, a 19 year old in 2023, actually got the chance to play this game.

I loved every minute of playing this, it was daring, it was fun. Yes, it did have its challenging moments, which, for me, didn't really take me out of the fun that much.

But, in all honesty, the characters lines and the music are the icing on the cake, I sometimes really regretted not having Falco on missions because I really liked listening to what he had to say on the sticky situations the team gets themselves into, but then again, that's what happens when your aiming sucks.

Sure it has the usual 90s games' difficulty, but with all of the advantages I described earlier, I don't think it'll be that big of an issue, and even with that, I personally didn't hate having the music get stuck in my head because of how many times I had to retry.

If you ever have the opportunity to play this gem of a game, take it, and if the opportunity includes playing it on the N64, then it's a jackpot!

Like Mario and Link, Fox McCloud was another Nintendo star who successfully transitioned to 3D in the 90's during the Nintendo 64's lifespan. Plus, as a fan of the first Star Fox game, I enjoyed this one greatly growing up.

Originally, the first Star Fox game in 1993 was to receive a sequel for the SNES, Star Fox 2, but it was cancelled in favor of this game. Some people don't know this, but this game is actually a remake of the original game with a stronger, more detailed story: After spending five years in exile, mad scientist Andross re-emerges and invades the Lylat system with his army. Now it's up to the mercenary team Star Fox, consisting of Fox McCloud, Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare, and Falco Lombardi to stop Andross.

This time, more light is shed on the betrayal and subsequent death of Fox's father, James McCloud and the introduction of, Star Wolf, who were supposed to appear in Star Fox 2. In fact, many aspects like all range mode and controlling the landmaster originated in Star Fox 2 before it was cancelled.

Like the original Star Fox, the gameplay consists mainly of controlling Fox in his Airwing flying through twenty-five beautifully designed, railway styled stages, shooting and dodging enemy craft and obstacles by veering left and right, and performing barrel rolls and somersaults to evade attacks. Every so often, though, you'll be able to fly in all range mode that allows you to fly in any direction. The controls are smooth and fairly easy to get used to. Of course, like any good wingman, you must also assist your teammates every so often when they're in trouble, and in return you can get advice from Peppy, enemy shield info from Slippy, or alternate routes to take by Falco.

But what I loved most was the music, sounds, and voice acting. Nintendo legend Koji Kondo created an awe-inspiring soundtrack with strong brass and percussion that inspires courage and determination in the player. There are cool sounding sci-fi sound effects, like laser blasts and starship engines. And the voice cast really helped bring the characters to life, especially Rick May (RIP) as Peppy Hare. Not to mention the sheer number of legendary memes this game created, like "do a barrel roll" from Peppy or "My emperor, I've failed you!" from the first boss Granja. Everything sounds spectacular.

This game has aged well and is still fun today, so try it out of the Nintendo Switch if your curious about Star Fox's history.
