Starfox was one of the premiere games for the Super Nintendo, boasting some of the best graphics that any platform of the time could show off and yes the game, at the time, did deliever in what could be described in a "Tour de force" performace. When the game transitioned making it's way onto the Nintendo 64 I had to hail the calling of this game and buy it, so I did. The result? I was as happy as any person could have been after spending the money for this game, and it was worth it. The game is easy to beat, but, only on the easy route. There are hundreds of ways that give this game a replay value that could be unmatched at the time, such as getting medals for every planet in the "Galaxy" in order to unlock expert mode, or the ability to win tanks in multiplayer mode, or even be able to fight on foot. So, is this game worth the money you would pay for it now? yes, give this game a home on your shelf. Enjoy.

This game is pretty entertaining for the first couple weeks that you have it. After that is doesn't really have much to offer. The game just gets really easy to beat and extremely repetitive with all the says of the various characters. Although the characters, with names like Slippy and Peppy, give some extra flavor to this boring game. Multiplayer mode is just plain bad. All of the escape moves make it too easy to dodge your opponents fire, so the game takes forever, and the multiplayer levels themselves offer you nothing interesting. This game does have it's value for a little while so if you want to try it then rent it, don't waste your money buying it.

A game where 38 hours lasts forever

There was this one time when my mom left for two days on an business trip. Game Time! I switched on the game as soon as she left the house. I only stopped to eat and take restroom breaks. No bed for me. 37 hours and 45 minutes pasted and then "BOOM" all in a flash and the game was over. I then slept for I don't know how long. Then when I woke up, there was mom. "Elias!" she exclaimed. "Why are you eyes so bloodshot?!"

Great Game

This game is fairly short and can be beaten in a matter of ten minutes on the easy route, but it does provide other secrets and ways to go about the game. You can go through three main paths, but you can quirk the paths if you decide to or if you screw up on one part of the level. You definitely will find yourself going back trying to unlock the different multiplayer modes and trying to up your high score. The rumble pack is worked very nicely into to the title. The voices are also a nice added feature. Buy this game guys.

In 1997, Nintendo was on the cutting edge in the video gaming industry. The Nintendo 64 proved that no mateer what a CD-ROM gaming system was able to do, a cartridged based gaming system could do better. That June, the case really proved the theory with the release of Starfox 64. The game was the very first to incorporate Nintendo's Rumple Pak, a force-feedback device that let's players feel each and every vibration at hand.

In the game, you play Fox McCloud, a young determined fighter pilot who is sent on several missions to destroy Andross, a inane, mad genius that demands full control of the Lylat system. There are 15 remarkable stages that let you encounter in the entire game, alone over twenty-five different paths you decide on your way to Andross. The graphics are so realistic and full of promise, that you see the game so vividly, you feel like you're a part of it. In Starfox 64, you also have the use of 3 different vehicles, depending on your course, Arwing, Landmaster Tank, or the Blue Marine sub, only used in the Aquas sea level. The game also has a fierce battle level, for up to 4 players, where you shoot down your fellow squadron leaders, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy.

It took nearly two years for other companies to develop the feel of the game, the exact same way Nintendo did with Starfox 64. The game is exactly one of a kind in the pilot seat. While Nintendo stopped releasing the Rumble Pak with the game nearly six months later, Starfox 64 is still truly a Nintendo gamer's paradise.

At first I thought this game [stunk] cause there was no save feature but there is a password feature and you can use other people's passwords to start out on whatever level you feel. Cheating has never looked so good! There are great graphics and action and the gameplay is very straightforward.All in all it deserves an A -. A great gift to receive in September.

Don't Listen to these kids, this game is a classic

There are no words to describe the greatness of Star Fox 64. The fact that people actually took the time out of their day to rent a game that came out almost 8 years ago should render their arguments invalid.

If you're looking for GameCube graphics, you are going to be disappointed. Most people know this, but to those not knowledgeable, the Nintendo 64 is much older than the GameCube. Before there were many games out for Nintendo 64, Starfox 64 was one of THE games--and it still stands as one of the best N64 games in the library. I owned a Super Nintendo four years before I got a Nintendo 64, and I remember the first Christmas morning that I had Star Fox 64, the rumble pak, and the Nintendo 64 (not included in this deal, but only about $5 more on the Star Fox sold elsewhere on this site). I sat in awe of its awesome graphics and gameplay, and it was one of the greatest gaming experiences ever. I don't mean to take a walk down nostalgia lane or anything, but I got more excited from that game than I got from any other game--ever again.

Comparing Star Fox 64's graphics to a Super Nintendo game's graphics is like comparing a 2005 Mercedes Benz to a 1999 Honda Civic. Even my parents were amazed by this game's graphics when I first got it 7 years ago.

On a side note, it is almost sad to see people complaining about this game's difficulty. If you invest just 1 hour a night in SF 64, I guarantee you that you will have beaten it in 2 or 3 weeks--at the most! The fact that people think this game is too hard is a testament to how easy games these days are getting.

Now, onto the game: if you accept the fact that this game was released 7 or 8 years ago, and learn to use your imagination(these "talking animals" are some of the coolest video game characters to date--and that includes Master Chief from Halo!), then you will find a great game with AWESOME replay value. Even after I beat the game regularly, I was able to find a whole new side path which took just as long to beat as the normal path, and was actually more fun than the original path, with the exception of the submarine level. After you earn medals on every level in normal, it moves you on to a harder difficulty, and it's twice as much as fun earning the medals over again, just because the combat is exciting (for 8 years ago, that is--keep in mind that you're playing a classic).

While the posts before have proved that this game is too hard if you're bad at video games AND don't try (even people bad at video games can beat this if they persist--it's really not that hard), and the graphics are outdated, this game belongs in any casual gamer's collection...if not to play it, then to at least pass it on to your kids.

People played this in the store for days on end even though most could not afford it for the N64. Star Fox was an amazing blast em up for the N64 that was visually stunning to watch.
