Inventive, varied gameplay; interesting use of Wii U GamePad; interesting vehicles; good boss-battles
Controls potentially complex; annoyingly short; no online mode; fails to develop many of its most interesting ideas
For all its classic gameplay, however, Star Fox Zero is annoyingly short – to such an extent that you feel the interesting ideas and unconventional gameplay which it contains have barely been explored. The game works hard to ensure the missions are...
Flashes of classic fun, Solid replay value, Endearingly dumb allies
Other vehicles are lame, Required motion controls, Feels stuck in the past
Star Fox Zero Star Fox Zero seems to have all the ambition of a 20-year-old cartridge game, mimicking the presentation and campaign scope and approach of the N64 classic. Even with branching paths to track down and extra missions, the campaign is very sh...

Plays like a greatest hits of Star Fox's history, Can be genuinely thrilling when the controls feel good
The controls rarely feel good, Light on additional modes
There is a good game somewhere inside Star Fox Zero, but its forced reliance on the Gamepad's screen and motion controls cause it to barrel roll right into mediocrity...

Abstract: In the 19 years since Star Fox 64 there have been a handful of new entries in the series, but full-on sequels? Not so much. Rare's Star Fox Adventures was a famously wayward appropriation of the universe, Q-Games' Command a noble and enjoyable experiment...
Dogfights are great, Diverse from start to finish, Does Star Fox right
Mixed controls, Team mates can be annoying, Not hugely long
Star Fox Zero serves as a good way to please fans and get new players on board, but the occasional control issues can be slightly frustrating. Feel free to forget about Guard, though...
Return to form with classic gameplay, We like the new motion controls, Secrets make campaign highly replayable, Fun cooperative play
New ideas are inconsistent and underdeveloped, No multiplayer battle mode
Gripes about what could have been aside, Star Fox Zero is a perfectly enjoyable return to form and will scratch an itch for many eager fans. It's more than a remake of Star Fox 64 , but also doesn't quite feel willing to assert itself as a wholly new ev...
If you look past the updated graphics, I could have been playing Starfox Wii U on an older console. Perhaps some fans will like the fact it plays so much on the style and feel of previous Starfox games, but I really was hoping for more. It's the overco...
Abstract: You don't need a Nintendo Switch to enjoy the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breadth of the Wild. With what many reviewers consider a masterpiece, and the best selling Wii U game on Amazon to date, The Legend of Zelda: Breadth of the Wild reinv...
Star Fox Zero tries to do too much with gimmicks that simply don't work, while neglecting the core mechanics of its predecessors. Even diehard fans would probably be hard pressed to find many redeeming qualities from this sequel...
