I love star fox 64, and this is the only star fox game I own. When I was younger, I would always die in that pathway/well/thingy that leads to andross. I was so scared of facing andross on the bottom path thru Andross' home world and while fighting him, having his face explode into some machine like thing. And when I was even younger I was scared of the asteroid belt boss for some reason. I would always reset the game and start from corneria. About 7 years later, I've beating the game on the complete top path and the game is definately fun if you CAN play it. Unfortunately, my computer sucks when it comes to nitendo 64 games. I've tried both ways of playing the game. One is like holding the space forever because it won't play at normal speed, and the other lags A LOT. Anyways....
The graphics of the bosses and maps are all decent. Not exactly top quality, but it is a stand out compared to other Nintendo games. The maps are all detailed, and there are a ton of enemies you have a chance to kill.
The sound is great from the pewwwwwwwwwww of a bomb, to the low health alert, to the pew pew pew. The music isn't the best, but it's not that bad either. It is average, but doesn't add anything to the game.
I have played this in elementary school, and every once in a while I will play this, but on my Nintendo. It takes a good hour- hour and a half to win this game, but the fact that each kill increases the score by one gives the game more of a reason for me to play beyond my best. The concept and game play is also very fun to try.
The story? A mercenary and his group is hired by the general of a planet to rid the galaxy of the Sith Lord. Long, long ago, in a galaxy far away, James McCloud, and his team of Peppy Haire and Pigma set off to destroy the evil Andross and his army. After James was betrayed by pigma, McCloud's son Fox sets out to destroy Andross. Anyways, what is good about this game is that there are several routes you can take in this game. So each mission mostly does not have anything to do with the last, and the missions primarily don't have any effect on the story, but in the end the whole plot makes sense.
Like mentioned before, there are multiple paths you can take to win the game. There are quite a few bosses in the game, and you do have some choice when it comes to choosing the map, except if the planets aren't on a similar path.
While fun, this game does take at least an hour to beat. The fact that you can only restore health is at check point and little power ups that barely restore health along the way, but when you face your star fox rivals in andross' home world, they are very, very tough. I now beat them just about every time, but still pose as a challenge.
If only I could play this on my computer, but the controls are so jacked up its hard to even start coneria's mission. Oh well, still a great game for Nintendo 64 though.one last thing....
