Star Fox
Nice poly gunsGenre: shooter - corridor
Publisher: Nintendo
Year: 1993
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
What's not to like? Controls are responsive or at least manageable. Agreed banking or turning your shop floats back toward center which eliminates the need to make micro corrections. It's forgiving in that regard Projectiles coming toward you take their time which gives you time to avoid them.
Level Design Score: 5
Level Design Notes:
The gameplay is simple but the levels have a great deal of variety. Probably the greatest strength of this game. Locales are distinct, including sunny planets, asteroid belts, an armada of ships, etc. The levels themselves have a lot going on and obstacles and set pieces that don't repeat over and over. Branching paths add replayability
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Lovely presentation The cartoony characters give it a light-hearted feeling while the setting is full of homage to awesome sci-fi games and movies
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Early polygons haven't aged well. The low framerate looked great at the time but it choppy now
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Fantastic music and sound but some annoying sounds, like the "voices" of your fellow pilots, hold it back
Overall Score: 84
Review ID: 525
