![]() ![]() ![]() The basic controls are mostly “traditional”, with the left stick moving your ship around the screen and the trigger firing your lasers. If not, you may feel divided on whether gyro controls work for you. If you played and enjoyed Splatoon’s motion-based aiming, you will feel right at home. If you don’t know already, this release is Wii U Gamepad-centric, and heavy on the motion controls. After all, this is a Platinum joint, and it’s all about replaying levels, collecting five medals in every stage through various means, and experimenting to find those alternative paths – plus a fair few unlockables that add further gameplay still.Īs for how Zero evolves the series further, that is possibly the most controversial of topics. When I finished the game for the first time, I had only found half the available levels, and barely collected any medals. It’s also just as short as Star Fox 64, if you’re talking in terms of playing through from start to finish, but looking at this game on those terms is missing the point. It’s a mission that once again takes you from Corneria to Venom, finding your way via multiple branching paths towards planets of various climates and piloting multiple vehicles to get the job done. In fact, Zero plays out almost the exact same way as Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars does, and the same as the original game for that matter. No Adventures style, well… adventuring, and no Star Fox: Assault on-foot stuff, and the whole game is light on narrative. Their biggest hits now are the same that ever were, and their breadth of classic franchises are so vast, that they can afford to “forget” many popular characters, sometimes skipping entire console generations, and their return is always a crowd-pleasing moment.Īs it is with Star Fox Zero: a product of Nintendo’s fruitful relationship with Platinum Games, and the team that brought you such adrenaline-fuelled outings such as Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance seem to be the perfect fit to bring the exploits of Fox McCloud and pals to a system that desperately needs all the exclusives it can get.įans of the series will be very pleased to know that this is a pure Star Fox experience. It’s equal parts, blessing and curse, but it’s something that Nintendo have done very well to cultivate over the years. ![]()
