Review - Star Fox Zero Is A Fun, Fiery And Fuzzy Return To Form | GammaSquad

Does Star Fox Zero take the series to new heights, or is it another crash landing?

superchiller2920d ago (Edited 2920d ago )

What a strange review. The author basically admits that the graphics in this game are mediocre, and then makes excuses for the terrible controls (which don't even allow players to use the any other controller than the gamepad). The forced use of the gamepad for cockpit view, combined with the forced use of motion controls to aim at enemies, and the mediocre graphics, basically ruined the game. Miyamoto once again proves that he should have retired from the gaming industry a long time ago, his obsession with forcing silly gimmicks on gamers has really damaged Nintendo's reputation in this industry.

uhhh . when enemies go off screen on your T.V. never to be seen, you can still blast them up on the game pad using the gyro aiming.

and if we read these SFZ reviews carefully, you will notice that they all say that the game pad controls are new to your brains, fun, but must be mastered.

obviously not intended for wussies!

Star Fox Zero, Was it Really That Bad?

Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?

Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.

Vits901d ago

It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.

CptDville900d ago

Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.

SeTTriP900d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey900d ago

controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..

Einhander1971900d ago

No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really

But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.

I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead

Teflon02950d ago

Finally, someone who knows about Assault. Best Star Fox Multi-player imo.

Neonridr950d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag950d ago

Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!

whitbyfox950d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.

Well, they listed Star Fox Zero as the worst one, so that list is at least believable.

septemberindecember994d ago

I feel like if you're judging the original Star Fox by it's era then I feel you should do the same with Star Fox 2 IMO. Since they are both effectively SNEA games

Sgt_Slaughter994d ago

It's hard to top the N64 version (well maybe the 3DS version, but that should have used uncompressed audio. Without that it's a step down from what it could have been IMO)
