'''Star Fox: Assault''' (スターフォックス アサルト, ''Sutā Fokkusu Asaruto'') is an action-shooter hybrid video game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] developed by [[Namco]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. Additionally, it is the fourth released title in the [[Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]]. ''Assault'' was released on February 14, 2005 in North America, on February 24, 2005 in Japan, and on April 29, 2005 in Europe and Australia. | |||
''Assault'' returns the ''Star Fox'' series to its space-combat roots after the previous game in the series, ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', took a more action-adventure approach. ''Assault'' takes place one year after the events of ''Adventures'' and introduces a new enemy named the [[Aparoid|Aparoids]], a race bent on the assimilation of the [[Lylat System]] into their collective mind. | ''Assault'' returns the ''Star Fox'' series to its space-combat roots after the previous game in the series, ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', took a more action-adventure approach.

''Star Fox: Assault'' was first announced on May 8, 2002. It had a tentative release date of April 2003 for Japan, and would be developed by the same employees who worked on ''Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies'' at Namco. New information about the game didn't show up until a short video montage at 2003's E3 in Los Angeles, which showcased the game's first-person perspective. According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, the video was booed by viewers, and EGM itself said the video was "remarkably unimpressive". | ''Star Fox: Assault'' was first announced on May 8, 2002.

During development, the game had three working titles: Star Fox Armada, Star Fox 2, and Star Fox. It eventually came to be known as ''Star Fox: Assault''. In 2003, the game was intended to be multi player oriented, and the ground missions of the game had a control scheme similar to the on-foot multi player mode in ''Star Fox 64''. | During development, the game had three working titles: ''Star Fox Armada'', ''Star Fox 2'', and ''Star Fox''.

The nephew of [[Andross]], who is [[Andrew Oikonny]] from ''Star Fox'', assumes leadership over the remnants of his deceased uncle's army and starts a rebellion against the forces of [[Corneria]]. The [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]], consisting of [[Fox McCloud]], [[Slippy Toad]], [[Falco Lombardi]], [[Krystal]], and [[Peppy Hare]] (who has retired from piloting), quickly fly in to assist the [[Cornerian Defense Force]] in battle against Oikonny's armada above the planet [[Fortuna]]. After penetrating the fleet's defensive lines, the team pursues Oikonny's flagship to the planet's surface, where he turns to face them by transforming his ship into an imitation of Andross' initial form - that is, a large, floating head and pair of hands - but much weaker (despite his arrogant boasts). Before his battle with the team really lets their guard down, his ship is destroyed by a strange, insect-like creature, which then attacks the team. Fox destroys it, and takes a partial Core Memory from it for research. | ||
Once back at the [[Great Fox]], Fox and the team learn from [[Beltino Toad]] that the hostile creature was an [[Aparoid]], one of many powerful, machine-like aliens capable of destroying entire fleets with little effort. The team then receives word from General Pepper that a distress signal is being sent from the [[Katina]] outpost, and suspect Aparoid involvement. Fox investigates the planet on foot, only to be trapped inside the base with the Aparoids. With the help of a [[Landmaster]], Fox is able to fend them off, and even manages to recover an intact Core Memory from a large, saucer-shaped Aparoid. However, before it can be retrieved, the Core Memory is quickly stolen by [[Pigma Dengar]], who as it turns out is the one who broadcasted the distress signal, and believes he can become rich from the Core Memory's sale. | Once back at the [[Great Fox]], Fox and the team learn from [[Beltino Toad]] that the hostile creature was an [[Aparoid]], one of many powerful, machine-like aliens capable of destroying entire fleets with little effort.

Star Fox Assault features multiplayer with support for up to four players simultaneously. (Multiplayer can only be played with 2-4 players and not 1.) This mode starts off very limited, with only a few playable characters, weapons, items, and maps; but more can be unlocked by either playing a certain number of multiplayer games or achieving certain accomplishments in-game. Players are able to fight on foot or in a vehicle (a Landmaster, Arwing, or Wolfen), though some stages prohibit certain modes of travel. Playable characters include the entire Star Fox team (including Peppy) as well as Wolf O'Donnell. | |||
Multiplayer mode offers several stages for playing, including stages from the single-player mode, "Simple Maps" (which look like they're made of building blocks), and other new maps. There are also several modes for play available, which can force a certain weapon (sniper, rocket launcher, etc.) or change the style of play (capture the crown, etc.). Also, there are a few customizable options, such as turning radar on/off, turning special weapons on/off, and turning Demon Launches on/off. | Multiplayer mode offers several stages for playing, including stages from the single-player mode, "Simple Maps" (which look like they're made of building blocks), and other new maps.
