Star Fox is definitely one of the best games on the N64. It's got fast action packed gameplay that's easy to play, and hard to master, lots of nuances to get flashy with the controls if you want to. Still an amazing game to this day.

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.Read full review
The games story is compelling and well put-forth. The action is simply and its best to try and upgrade your laser to the blue as the green laser just isn't very powerful enough. It's best to conserve your bombs for the bosses at the end of each level, but the bosses difficultly isn't to hard if you can remember their cycles and how each ones functions to bring it down. The only bad things about the game is there is no saving between levels, you must play through the entire game and face Andross to win, and if you restart the game or die without any Arwings left, you must restart at Corneria, the first level. Also, your teammates Peppy, Slippy and Falco can take to much damage and be forced to leave the battle, which if all 3 leave with too much damage on the second to last level, you will be all alone when you reach Venom, the final level. It is almost impossible to take down Star Wolf's team alone and even reach Andross, so it's critical that Slippy, Peppy and Falco's ships are ok before entering Venom. The game still gets a 10/10 in my book, from the nostalgic factor, to the EPIC soundtrack, voice acting, story and overall gameplay. A must-own for nintendo 64 console owners.Read full review

Probably the best 3-D space shooter of all time, and a must-have on the N64. Lack of saving during your campaign might disappoint some contemporary players, but otherwise this is a bonafide near-perfect game that has aged phenomenally. The controls are tight, the gameplay is fast and engaging, and the graphics are particularly clean for an era when 3D games were plagued by overly polygonal designs. Beating a level in a particular fashion will allow you to progress to another level altogether, and you can get medals for killing high numbers of enemies on a level, so the replay value is very high after beating the game for the first time. You even have a dogfighting versus mode for up to four players as icing on the cake for what honestly would have still been an extraordinary single player game. It's simple: if you have an N64, get it, and if you don't, this game may very well help convince you to get one. One of the all-time greatest offerings ftom Nintendo, and it's still less than 20 bucks for the cartridge.Read full review

What can I say except it's just perfect? This game is an absolute must have for any N64 owner. The gameplay is great, and players from all skill levels can enjoy it. Not only this, players can improve their skills to collect all the metals and get higher scores. You gotta pick it up today!

Nostalgia came racing back as Fox McCloud commands his squadron of ARWings. Great game and simple control mechanics. Lot of fun to be had playing one of the original Starfox campaigns.

My four year old loved this game, so I will list the pros and cons. PROS: Well this game my 4 year old son loved it and accomplished finishing every level in about 6 months. I believe there is nine levels, he absolutely got addicted to it and just ignored everyone. LOL. CONS: 1.Well, 1st this game would not save the last level played, for some reason it just doesnt, so he would have to start all over and over everytime and redo all the missions, just to get back to where he played last, now im not sure if thats just ours or every ones. 2. Now this is what I absolutely did not like, was the very end of this game, where the big Monkey looking monster, said things that gave my son terrible NIGHTMARES. To the point where I have now hidden the game. I would not suggest the game for a young one. Unless he is decenzitized but this was very scary to him, and I personally as a mother did not like it myself. Great Game for the older like 6 and up, but I would not suggest it under the age of 6. Hope this helps others.Read full review

Great Game....the characters, the story. A throw back to the thrill in simple console gaming. Using on a 32" flatscreen TV that is NOT HD. 1024x 768 is max resolution. Looks pretty good. Sound is good and the way the game plays is arcade style but that is what made StarFox one of the best games. Gameplay is fast enough and looks good to be enjoyed. I paid $9 for it plus shipping.
