![]() The team is largely what separates this game from any other standard space shooter, in that you are expected to care for your comrades well being. The ultimate goal is to exact revenge upon the emperor Andross and restore peace to the Lylat system with your own Star Fox team. The player takes control of Fox within his Arwing, an aircraft capable of launching bombs, dual lasers and doing a variation of acrobatic skills with the C-Pad. From there, Peppy goes on to tell Fox, James’ son, about his father’s fate, and the game begins. However, betrayal sees the team captured, and only one member manages to escape, Peppy Hare. When ‘strange activity’ is noticed on Venom, the original Star Fox team, led by James McCloud, is sent to investigate. An evil emperor is banished to a lone planet in the Lylat System, Venom. The game’s dialogue is so fondly remembered by many that a number of lines have found their way into popular internet culture, including “Do a barrel roll!” And lo, a whole meme is born. Your allies and opponents will frequently chatter over the airwaves, adding new levels of depth to an already outstanding game. ![]() The game is a scrolling flight based shooter which I remember most fondly for the superb voice-acting employed throughout. While Star Fox was, particularly on PAL versions of the SNES, fairly clunky and unresponsive at times, suffering from drops in frame rate which made piloting through barrages of missiles quite difficult, Lylat Wars seized the opportunity to take that formula and turn it into a real winner. More of a ‘reboot’ of the NES title than a sequel, the game is generally regarded as a Nintendo classic. Released in 1997, the game was the first to make use of the Rumble Pak and one of my all-time favourites. Known as ‘Star Fox 64’ by those across the pond, Lylat Wars is the successor of the incredible Star Fox for the SNES.
