 Starfox 64 Excellent Game 10 of 11 people found this review helpful.
In Star Fox 64, you play the role of Fox McCloud, and you must fight your way through this exciting space shooter in order to stop the evil Andross from ruling the galaxy. This is the 2nd N64 title that Shigeru Miyamoto worked on, the first being Super Mario 64. Just about any game Miyamoto is involved with has become an instant success, and this is no exception. Star Fox 64 is the sequel to Star Fox, which is a title on the SNES. You fight your way through many different stages, and in most stages, you must fight a boss at the end to complete the stage. With pristine graphics, superb gameplay, and a magnificent story, Star Fox 64 has earned its title as one of the most successful titles on the N64. Definitely pick up a copy if you have a Nintendo 64.

Gameplay - Star Fox plays surprisingly very well. I still can't get over it. When I heard about the all stylus controls, I was very worried. I totally wrote this game off as gimmicky, touch screen thing that will fail, but I was wrong. The touch screen actually makes flying easier and a lot of fun. The basic gameplay is broken up in to two parts, an overworld strategy map and full 3D battle maps.
In the overworld screens, your objective is to destroy enemy fighters and bases, while protecting your mothership. It is fun to draw out your ship's courses and then preform the attack on the opposing force. During the actual fights, the stylus is your control tapping the screen to boost, break, turns, drop bombs and perform the famous barrel roll. Then only other button needed is the fire button which is mapped on everything besides start and select, so it is easy to find something comfortable. The control is very tight and it is amazing that this game just handles so very well. Also it is very easy to learn. Once you do the 4 training missions, you will pick up on the controls in no time.
The multiplayer works the same way both local and over the Nintendo Wifi Connection and is very strong. In all multiplayer modes, players are only allowed to be Fox and are given just one ship. Some might think of this as bad, but I really like it because it balances out the game so much. I liked the wifi play because of an easy to use ranking system with 26 ranks, (Z being the lowest and A the highest) and good punishment against disconnecters. It is good to see that if someone drops, no one plays, which really prevents people from skipping out.
Graphics - Best on the DS to date, period. The ships look great and the different stages have such high quality textures. I love it.
Sound - I have said it before, I love animalese from Animal Crossing and I love it here in Star Fox: Command. The blaster shots and space noises are fine, but nothing beats the animal nonsense. It will make you smile. Plus it is a really cool option that you can import your own voice as the character's voice and tone.
