House hold pets flying Space Jets? I cant even get my cat to poop in the little box. This was yet another game from my youth that I played till my eyes bled. I remember playing through the first time, Getting to Venom and killing Andros, only to find that it was just a robot and the real Andros was still alive. It wasn't until much later that I discovered that there are several different paths to take to the end. Even later I discovered that by keeping your crew alive and killing a specific number of enemies, you unlock medals. After many hours of shooting down enemies and flying through narrow passages and finally Achieving all the medals. I learned you can Actually play as James, Star Fox's father. Apparently He was killed on a mission to defeat Andros while Fox was just a... child... What do you call a young fox? I recommend this game and give it a high score because it is one of the greatest classic Nintendo game out there.
I scored the graphics because even though it is primitive compared to toady's standards, It was absolutely fascinating for its time. The hit detection is excellent and the ability to score combos when shooting down enemy fighters, really makes a person want to push for a high score.
The Sound is basic stock Nintendo sound, for everyone who was around during the "Bit wars" you can hear Nintendo in Nintendo if that makes any sense. As with the hit detection, the sound goes tandem with the damage being inflicted on your enemies and yourself.
This game is highly addictive. I try to play it through as much as I can and work really hard to unlock the different routes and medals. It almost feels like a precursor to the acheiement systems of the modern generation consuls.Button mashing goodness at its finest.
The story is more than it seems, with having different routes to take to Venom. By hitting specific targets and flying through certain obstacle's, you'll find that there are more characters and even different vehicles to operate. Such as the Landmaster and the Submarine. As annoying as your crew may be, and as tempting as it is to just let them die, it is better to have them survive. Their dialogue in each of the levels can change after having finished certain requirements. Just see for yourself
The difficulty is rated at 9 because there are levels in this game that are damn near impossible. Like trying to keep your whole crew alive in the Solar level. You are basically flying on the surface of the sun and every one of them decides they need to fly just above the liquid hot magma. Just keeping the crew from being killed is a full time job. It seems that everyone has a hate for Falco as he tends to be the first person to get shot down in most levels. In reality the crew tends to get in the way far more than they need to and always seem to need help from perusing enemies, while at the same time, being totally useless when you are being chased.
But don't take it from me. This is just one humble gamers opinion. Playing this game again makes me regret ever selling my Nintendo 64 when I was 14. If there is one piece of advice I can give anyone, it is to never sell your video games. Yeah sure you may need the money someday, but take it from me, you will always regret it. ALWAYS!
