For those of you who don't know, I am kind of a star fox nut, and I wouldn't be if it weren't for this game. This game is definitely the first one you should play, as it will get you obsessed with the series. This game is one of the best on the N64, and the only reason I don't call it the best is because of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. This is the second installment in the series, although the true second star fox was cancelled even though it was completed. Though, to be honest, I would be fine if every single star fox game was just this game with better graphics.

Why I love this game so much: From first glance, this game seems to be a garden variety-seen more often than me referencing a Zelda game-shooter. Though it has roots in plenty of other genres. Sticking to the bottom line makes a game bland, and I am glad that star fox went above and beyond. Aside from that, this game literally puts you in the seat of a general. In shooters like call of duty and medal of honor, you are the only vulnerable one there. Your team members can get shot by a mini-gun and they will be just fine. In this game, you will have to keep track of your entire team, helping them when they need it and making sure they don't die. I think that is an awesome game element. Unlike most other shooters, this game utilizes boss fights. At the end of every level you will have to fight a boss that can be very challenging.

Gameplay: the core gameplay is just breathtaking. The controls are incredibly smooth, the shooting controls work just fine, as well as the targeting system. Sometimes the camera movement can mess you up, but that happens very rarely.

Graphics: This game looks breathtakingly better than some of its other games. Heck, in some parts it looks better than star fox adventures. While the character models don't look very pleasing, you only see them for a few seconds in every level. The arwings look fine, as do most of the levels. The bosses however, don't look as good as they could. They animate strangely in some parts, though this should not ruin your experience with this game.

Sound: yeah, its there. I LOVE the music of this game. Most shooters and N64 games in general just had standard fighting music. Star fox went above and beyond and gave us music that is literally so good you can forget about the game. Things like the star wolf theme and the corneria theme are particularly awesome. There are plenty of others that I cant name of the top of my head, but yeah, they are awesome.

Addictiveness: yeah, its there. I have beaten this game more times than I have listened to Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles. This game is just... so incredibly fun that I guarantee that you wont just play it once, you wont just play it three times, you will play it at least five times and will be hooked. At least I was. 

Story: Most star fox games (excluding star fox adventures) have a standard formula for a story. Star fox 64 is no exception. You go through the game, you go to the usual places like corneria and venom, you run into star wolf and his team a few times, and ten you fight andross. Though, I really think the core game is a lot more important that the story in this game. Since, I just play it for the awesome gameplay, I really don't care abut the story that much.

Depth: forgive me fox mccloud, because I am about to bag on you a bit. This game has only about 15 levels that, if you are good enough, you will get through quickly. Though, as said in my addictiveness part of my review, you will play it plenty of times, so I think that makes up for the small amount of levels.

Difficulty: the game is not that hard. It has a medium level of difficulty. Some of the bosses are difficult, though most of them have shining red and obvious weak spots, and even then slippy will just tell you about his weakness. As for the regular levels, it really depends on whether or not some of your teamates had died or not prior to the level. The enemies can take several hits usually, though they tend to move very slowly so they are easier to hit. Some of the shots can be hard to make, because some times you will have to help a teamate who is very far away.

Overall, I really wish you would play this game. It is one of the most memorable...memories? Of my childhood and I hope it has the same impact on you.

See ya

ender44 : Nice reveiw, I need to hang out in this forum more often. I will write a review for this game eventually.

I just can't find out how to acces the other half of the Lylat system.

I honestly though that the final boss was . . .HORRIBLE. 

Yeah, it doesn't ruin the game but really? A is the final boss?! come on!

The landmaster is really cool and Falco has great quipes.

ender44 : I was surprised at how easy it was to survive in this game, as I blew up many of the mercenaries on my first playthrough.
I didn't kill Wolf and Pigma though.

I did play through the game a few times and got both final bosses though.
So, to get to the northern half of the Lylat I have to let Star Wolf live? I though that you had to do something at Corneria, that is 
where your path splits.
