This was my first Star Fox game, and I almost beat the main game, but the disc got scratched, but it was fun though.

It makes a lot of sense realising that Miyamoto directed this game. It also makes more sense that this was the last console game he directed. His arcade intuitions and desire to try strange new things is reflected here; so too is his grip on the past. Star Fox has had more redos of the Andross vs Corneria story than any original stories combined. Some complain that this is one re-imagining too many. To me, though, this is in fact its definitive version; not without room for improvement in the details, but Star Fox Zero brings to life the classic story of Fox McCloud vs. Andross in a more thrilling and beautiful way than any other. For the most part, where its detractors see oddity, I see innovation; where they see reuse, I see homage and reimagination. This is not to say Zero is perfect - far from it - but it was the wrong game at the wrong time. It was released in unfavourable circumstances, on a life support console for a dormant series, and managed to be simultaneously too different and too reheated. But today, I think its execution was far better than it was allowed credit for at the time. It did not just scratch a nostalgic itch for me, it genuinely improved on a classic game I considered a foundational part of my gaming childhood. As far as I'm concerned, it's mission accomplished.

ve had this game since 2016, when it was released in a bundle with Guard. I bought the bundle and kept it in my collection because I always heard bad things about it, so I ended up forgetting about it, along with other games I never **** new Star Fox 64 remake for the Switch 2 made me want to finally try it. My God, it's bad! It's really bad!!!Sure, there are good things, like the classic sounds, the classic music, the very well-done voice acting, and the great sense of speed and **** the level design is really bad and frustrating.I won't even complain about the controls, because I got used to them, and very complicated controls can be annoying but can also be overcome if you're willing to learn **** biggest problem here is the terribly bad level ****'s not only annoying but tiring. My hands even hurt after a few **** mission in Fichina where the boss regenerates is extremely tedious because there's a very small window of time to damage the **** missile mission is awful and chaotic. One moment you're attacking missiles with a timer on the screen. Each missile takes a while to destroy because the targets are rotating and there are several enemies bothering you while you try to hit these rotating targets, all in motion.When you finally succeed, the camera suddenly changes and you're disoriented, losing control of your own ship because the perspective changes abruptly.Then you go to another mission and suddenly, in the middle of your attack, the camera abruptly changes and you lose control of the entire action because the game wants to show you something else that is also urgent. The game forces you to switch from the airwing to the chicken to destroy the drones that start attacking the Great Fox, and while this is happening, the missile approaches the target and the mission is ruined. The missions with the gyrocopter and the little robot that needs to hack some screens are another one that's terrible.There's a classic boss in the stage preceding Venom that also has several rotating targets, with a tiny window of time to hit each one, and it's almost impossible to avoid crashing into it at each stage, so the game forces you to constantly search for healing rings around the environment. Due to this long wait to hit the targets, it becomes extremely tiring to the point of hurting your hands.I know it's not a Nintendo title, but a Platinum one, but just thinking that Nintendo handed over one of its most beloved franchises to Platinum, which had a history of bad games like TMNT Mutant in Manhattan, makes me angry.Star Fox Zero is so bad that it made me understand why Microsoft canceled Scalebound. That project probably wasn't going well at **** I said before, there are good things; the sound is the best part of the game, with decent voice acting, and the graphics are good enough. If it weren't for those camera changes that disorient the player, the gameplay would be better because the controls are acceptable, although more complicated than they should **** biggest problem here is the terribly bad level design, which is more irritating than **** a short game, it's a huge shame that it's so bad and so poorly planned.
