Star Fox 64

A lot of people had doubts about "Star Fox 64" because it was about animals in spaceships flying around blowing up other animals in space ships. The animation was dreadful and made it look like some child's game.

However, it turned out to be one of the most successful Nintendo 64 videogames. It was also the first to make use of the "Rumble Pak," which was a vibrating box you attack to the back of the controller and enabled you to "feel" the action on-screen. In fact the tagline for "Star Fox" was "Now you can feel the action." You play as Star Fox, the legendary leader of a flying squadron comprised of an old wise rabbit, a frog and others. You are attempting to destroy the baddie who killed you father and is attempting to rule the galaxy.

I remember playing this game for hours when I was younger and part of the brilliance of it all is the cinematics and limitless possibilities - each level can be beaten in a different way, and you can therefore travel to different planets out of order. The final level also has two options and one of them involves being visited by the ghost of your father, who helps you escape alive.

"Star Fox 64" is an awesome game and one of the best ever made. If you have an N64 chances are you already know how great this game is - if not, look it up on Ebay or something and get yourself a copy pronto! And don't forget the Rumble Pak!

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

Star Fox 64, also known as Lylat Wars in Europe and Australia (due to trademark issues), is the second game in Nintendo's Star Fox series and the sequel to Star Fox. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997, and later ported to the China-only IQ in 2003.

The planned second game in the series for the Super Famicom/SNES, Star Fox 2, was scrapped, but a good deal of it was in Star Fox 64.Star Fox 64 was the first game to introduce support for the Rumble Pak.

star-fox 64 is mainly the third in the series which would have been called star-fox 2 which is actually star-fox Assault for game-cube.

Released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64, Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europe) was the next step in the series. Included in the game was the Rumble Pak as force feedback. It also introduced full spoken dialogue, fully three dimensional graphics, and new vehicles and characters. Star Fox 64 is often considered the beginning of the Star Fox canon, and is one of the more popular games in the series.

Star Fox 2 was the sequel to Star Fox, again developed by Argonaut. However, the game was never released even though it was completely finished, although many of its new ideas were implemented for the forthcoming Star Fox 64, such as the rival team Star Wolf, All-range-mode and a multi-player mode.

The wicked scientist Andross has been sent to exile on the deserted planet Venom, and one day strange activity is spotted from the planet, Corneria. An Arwing-team consisting of Pigma Dengar, James McCloud and Peppy Hare are sent to investigate. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrays the team and James and Peppy are captured by Andross. Peppy barely escaped, but James did not survive. Peppy then heads back to Corneria to tell James' son Fox about his father's fate. (Depending on your path, James' spirit might be set free at the end of the game and he will help Fox escape from Venom.)

Upon learning the news of Pigma's betrayal a new team is assembled consisting of Fox McCloud (the player), Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad and Peppy Hare. Fox is the final hope of putting an end to Andross' madness and thereby securing the peace of the Lylat System.

A notable difference from the original game's story is that the Star Fox team, albeit being mercenaries in both games, already possess Arwings when they are called to help defend Corneria whereas in the original game they are recruited to act as pilots for the newly developed Arwings. However, in the Nintendo Power Official Player's Guide the Arwings are referred to as four prototypes.

mainly i think it is or would be the best star-fox game i have ever played as known as a star-fox god because i have nearly everything of it and a member plus fan as well, as the second game but this just has a more better story to the fact that it is not just a game it's a fantastic game. i know that anybody who likes sci-fi games similar to star wars or star-trek then you would enjoy this much more in a different style. you will need the old console or download off online, there is one site which is good- www.amazon.co.UK in lower case- ratings for game graphics-91%--gameplay-97%---sound/fsx-95% overall= 98% in my opinion see star-fox sites for more information! thanks bye.

be there or be square! 10/10!

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.

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!
