Beastly Byte: Star Fox Zero: Starting over yet agian

Star fox has been remade and rebooted as much as Conker Live and Reloaded, but unlike that game, this game actually has heart put into this game with respect for those that has fallen. However, it has taken the original story and adds variations that is different from the past Star Fox games. So in the end, how dose this play out and how different is the game?

Well...

Positives
+ This game is very colorful! Almost smooth 60 FTP, great graphics, and great story
+ The story stays close to the N64 original, while safe, it has it's charm
+ Co-op controls makes the game fun to play with a friend, if one has any
+ New ship transformations unlocks to use in the game, the ones unused from Star Fox 2
+ New challenge mode which is an actual challenge
+ No quest in the game feels the same; Has great verity in each level
+ Game has great replay value because of the multible paths


Negatives- The game was originally designed as a rental since the Nintendo 64 Blockbuster days, making the game four to six hours long. Too short in today's modern games!
- The controls are glued to the game-pad, causing sore wrist for those not use to the controls.
- No real completion bonus, as most of the high scores are bragging rights
- No online play, which most modern games have in today's age
- The controls, like in splatoon, takes time to get use to, adding artificial difficulty where it shouldn't be there
- There just needs to be more options; There's an old saying that's being overused for a reason!
- Stealth missions in this game SUCKS because of bad controls
- Comes with a tower deference game, which should have been a game of it's own to lower it's cost


C+
As much as I want to support good games like this, this game still needs a patch or two. Because of it's short total gameplay, this is most likely a rental thanks to Star Fox's original design. Star Fox is still a fun arcade game, but players prefer the original StarFox 64 as its holds up as a classic. It also doesn't help as remaking the game twice in a row is very redundant when players take in consideration that StarFox 3DS was only made a few years ago. With all due respect to those who has fallen, it's a good game. However, personally recommend waiting until a price drop or a humble sale to grab this game. Until then, thanks for reading!
