A modern take on a classic
This is a "re-imagining" of Star Fox 64, so probably not the game for those seeking a new experience. However, it is not a carbon copy of SF64, so fans of that classic game will have plenty of surprises with Zero. The graphics are beautiful, and have that classic feel. The audio is equally as well done. The amiibo features (classic and black Arwings) add fun and challenge - but you can unlock these without the amiibo (in case you don't have them). There are some frame rate issues when there is a lot going on - but nothing game breaking (just noticeable). The game is a little short, but there is a solid replay value. The motion controls are solid. They do take time to get used to, but they are a powerful mechanic - once you get used to them. If you've played Splatoon, you know what to expect. Just keep focused, and learn to utilize your tools. I do wish there was a sensitivity adjustment so you can fine tune the motion controls, but once you are use to them, it's not a big deal. Oh, and the select button switches screens. Learn to use that, instead of worrying about looking back and forth between screens. All in all, a solid game. Not for everyone, but worth it for Star Fox fans.

Tough controls but worth it
Star Fox is really good... if you like Star Fox games. The controls are really tough to get used to but if you stick with it, it becomes natural. Not the best in the series but still a fun game.

From Zero to Hero
After years of absence, this is the exciting return of Fox McCloud. Done by Nintendo and Platinum Games, the name of the game is aerial combat. The action is great and can get hectic in later levels. The game may be short but the replay value is what the series was always about. The only complaints I have about this game is that there is no Online Multiplayer and the controls take getting used to. There is no option to just use classic controls. If you're looking for some experience other than a True StarFox experience, than you might need to look elsewhere. For those who grew up on the series as I did who are looking to get back in an Arwing and light the skies on fire ala Starfox 64, then look no further! Welcome back, Fox!
