Amongst other things this allows you to travel dead straight but still aim up, left, and right at an acute angle. You can choose which is on the GamePad and which is on the TV, but the cockpit view allows you to use motion controls for fine aiming. What’s new for Star Fox Zero is that the game’s display is split between a cockpit view and the standard third person view. Plus, a summersault move and all-range mode adds a U-turn.
You’ve also got a limited supply of bombs and the famous barrel roll to deflect enemy fire.
The opening stage is always on-the-rails and as well as looking the same as you remember it also controls the same too, with a single shot laser (double if you pick up the right power-up) that can be held down to lock onto an enemy. At its best Star Fox works as a pure adrenalin stimulator, as you duck and weave amongst falling buildings, blasting spaceships and tanks into oblivion, and edging closer to the inevitably over-the-top boss battle. There’s virtually no story to speak of, but as you speed across the open water in your Arwing fighter, the burning city looming up ahead in your sights, it’s clear why one’s never really been necessary. What you’ve got instead is an entertaining homage that’s a little light on content and has an initially bewildering camera system.Īlthough none of the levels are exactly the same as either of the originals many come very close, including the iconic first stage on the perpetually under siege planet of Corneria. Considering those are two of the most celebrated developers of all-time you’d expect a cast iron classic as a result.
What this really is, is a passion project by Bayonetta developer Platinum Games, who have created the game in conjunction with no less than Shigeru Miyamoto himself.
