Star Fox 64

Star Fox 64 is a pretty good game. It's more of a shooter game instead of a fighter game. Because you go head-to-head to Andross's(the bad guy) forces on must of the missions.The draw back of this game is that you can not save it,so the game is pretty hard.

StarFox Fans - Great Game!

I may not be as young as some of the players that wrote reviews here, but I played the original StarFox for SNES as a kid. At the time, the "FX" chip was marketing hype for some new 3D technology. Nonetheless, it has become a classic at my home. My dad was hooked on StarFox since the beginning!

I bought some old N64 games and a N64 system about 2 years ago and starFox 64 was one of the games. Naturally, I'm hooked. The graphics are fairly pre-21st century but its a very natural progression for StarFox SNES.

Thd 3D graphics are colorful and saturated. There is also voice acting and some interesting levels.

I missed the original "Twin Blaster" and "Wing Damage" voice effects. The new music also sounds rather corny, as are the villains.

Excellent 'shoot 'em up' let down by a few minor flaws

Anyone who played Starfox (or Starwing in Europe ) on the SNES can know what to expect here as it's pretty much the same game abeit with a few new features and much improved graphics. Rather than change the classic gameplay of the original, they've left it mostly intact and jazzed it up with brand new enimies, bosses and an new 'all range mode'. This allows you, on certain levels, to fly 360 degrees anywhere within a set area and is a big improvment on the first game which confined you to flying straight ahead every level. Even though most of the game does follow this linear approach, the wider variety of enemies on offer and the new 360 degree mode make sure that the single player game never becomes as repetative as the it was on the original. Combined with the much better graphics and sounds and the bonus features hidden throughout the game, this makes the single player game one of the best on the N64. Where the game really falls flat however, is in the new multiplayer mode. Originally intended as a feature in the abandoned Starfox 2 on the SNES, this finally saw the light of the day on the N64 version but is far too limited and and just goes to show that Starfox was never intended as a multiplayer game. Even when you get the tank as an additional multiplayer vehicle, you'll get bored of playing it really quickly, especially when you consider how many better multiplayer games there are on the N64. This is a real shame as with a little more time and effort, the multiplayer mode could have been classic and ultimately, it's what lets this otherwise superb game down.

Excellent

I thought this game was great. It really shined in one player mode. After you beat the game for the first time there are more challenges and when you get all medals new characters and a harder difficulty appear. I felt it was a little lacking in multi-player mode but was still fun to play with friends. I highly reccomend this game for any true Starfox fan or a Nintendo lover in general.

Really really fun

I know a lot about this game so lets get started. First of all, the voice acting is great (exept slippy's) game is easy and the stoyline is great. Also for first time gamers there are two androsses, one is fake (he will be the robot one) and the other is real (he will be the big brain). Now to get to the real andross in corneria you have to follow falco and he will take you to a second route to a different boss. Then you have to go to all of the hard planets, its been a long time since i played this so i don't know thier names. After corneria yo go to bills planet, help him battle then go to the red one, then the space one (not the sattelite) it will be the one where slippy gets smacked all the way to the planet that looks like saturn. Then you go there but it will take you to the satelite planet. So you to the red planet then the other blue planet that looks like corneria and you will meet katt there. When you get done beating that submarine dude then you go the the aquarius planet( i think thats what its named) and you will be in a submarine, when you beat the clamb boss then go to the planet that has the ships like an armada, beat that level and you go to venom exept you take a different route to go to the real andross, when you take this route you will be at a battle site where you will meet star wolf and his buddies with new ships (that have shields no fair) but you can beat them but shooting them crazy where they'll crash into somthing like the four pillars, then fox will go to the real andross, beat him and ther will be a huge explosion and fox has to follow his dad the way out (who is alive but wants everyone exept fox to think he is dead) anyway, you have to follow fox's dad out, he will show you the ways to take also make sure you boost to keep up because you will loose him. Now, i have beaten this game about 12 or 13 times, it is very fun, i love this game and its a classic; but now i have a ps2 and i still miss playing this game, also there is a starfox armada coming out so i am going to get a gamcube to get it, it comes out sooner at blockbuster. Anyway as you know all starfox games is only on nintendo 64 or gc(gamecube). Also there is a multiplayer but to you guys out there here isn't a multiplayer campain mode, that might be in starfox assult. The only things you can unlock is armor for you and your teams ships (makes the damage less effective), the difficulty which is intermediate (beat it on that level) also on intermediate starfox is wearing glasses like his dad and there is unlimited ammo (for the bombs). I know this because i unlocked those things by beating the game, you have to get a medal on each planet, then you will unlock the good stuff. So if your into 3d action adventure, get this game. Also the assult is the end of the starfox series, if its not i'll fill you in. Also on the assult they have andross, somehow he came back, why can't they have a new more powerful enemy like andross's brother or something, they just stick with andross, but he's fun anyway. So thats it, i'll fill you in on what i know.

Game Not Complete.

Well this game features some of the best graphics Ive ever seen and its easier to learn how to play than Rogue Leader but what were they thinking when they decided not to have a save option?N64 is a superior machine so its not like it doesnt have enough memory to support a save option and even old games like Metroid and The Legend Of Zelda let you save your progress with a password. This game is just like one of those arcade games at movie theatres because its fun to play for a while but pointless to try and beat it because it just doesnt let you save. The new Star Fox game for Game Cube sure as hell better have a save option.

It's easy once you know how to play it. I've gotten up to the seventh level which is called "Venom." I like that the characters "talk" rather than force me to try to read. Game tips: First I will tell you about the weapons and skills. "A" is to shoot a laser. "B" is to shoot a bomb. Don't waste bombs, but when Falco says his G-diffuser has a problem you have to shoot a bomb at the enemy on his tail to save your pal Falco. Use left C and press down on the control stick to do a somersault. Do this when the enemies are behind you, or use your brakes (down C). In satellite or training mode you make a u-turn when you get to the end of the area. You can press up C if you're not battling the "Boss" to look through Fox's eyes. Your ship still flies. Press "start" and then "R" while paused to put your target on or off. Now to beat the "bosses"...(major bad dudes at the end of each level) - Pepe (your pal) will tell you where to aim and fire - take his advice! The dudes and the ships you would shoot more than twice to explode are your very very tough rivals. Your goal is to kill the enemy - show no mercy! When they're shooting you, make a "u turn" and the ones on your tail will then be in front of you - ready to be killed by your careful aim. It has good graphics, and is a lot of fun.

A Nintendo classic

This is a great game with large levels that vary from super difficult that will satisfy advanced players to easy levels ideal for begginers. The vehicles in this game are a space fighter called the Arwing a tank called the Land Master and a submarine called the Blue Marine. This adds a great deal of depth and replay value. How ever no game is perfect and this is no exeption as the multiplayer mode just doesnt cut it but thats ok as the single player is so awesome you probably wont mind the so-so multiplayer. All in all a great choice for N64 owners.

Star Fox 64: One of the Best N64 Games Out There!

In the peaceful system of Lylat, chaos emerges. The evil Andross has declared war upon the planet and its citizens and there's only one team to stop him: Star Fox. Made up of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare, these mercenaries mean business. Throughout their escapade to destroy Andross, they will go to many planets such as Corneria, Fichina, and Zoness, and they will meet up with the evil Star Wolf.

That is the premise of the hit game Star Fox 64 for Nintendo 64. It is a pretty short game despite the wonderful story, but the story does make up for it's length. The multiplayer is a bit cold, with only two stages to play on, but with 4 people, it can bring tons of fun. The sound in this game is wonderful, if you don't include the voice-overs, although, Slippy's voice was the only one that was bad. The laser fire sounds as "sci-fi" as you would want it to.

Through a few androids and evil monkeys, I recommend that anyone with a Nintendo 64 should get this game. Peppy would say one thing here. "Do a barrel roll!" Oh wait, that's not it....

Beter than the original

This the nintedo 64 version of the Star Fox. The original version was for super Ninintendo was in like 16 bit. This is colorful full three d. I have played this game many times. Have beaten both the fake and real androse.

If you are beginner you should star with the fake andross. Some of the boss. Like the boss of Titania are impossible to beat with out using the cheat codes. There is this one boss the submarine guy I real annoying. For must of the battle his invulberalbe to your laser and you must used bombs to damage him.

The Hardest boss is the real androse at the rela androse you mu8st fly out and takes the right paths so the fires do not cosume you as the base blow up. Another annoying thing about the real andros is before you can engage him you must meet Starwolf and his bodies in there new improved faster ship.

The fake andross is real essay at the rela andross when you blow up his face you see his brain. Slippy Falco and Peppy the three computer controlled charaters you player that play along with you are historical. Falco came be a bit rude some times but after owning the game for a few months I got use to his insalting coments.
