''Star Fox Adventures'' was released for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]] in 2002. The series took a very different turn in gameplay and style. Originally meant to be an entirely different game entitled ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]'', the series was later branded with the ''Star Fox'' logo and given the ''Star Fox'' treatment of flying missions and the series' trademark characters. However, instead of a basic rail shooter that was common with its predecessors, ''Star Fox Adventures'' was much more of an action-adventure game, similar in genre to the [[w:c:zelda:The Legend of Zelda series|''Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Some gamers were disappointed with the lack of Arwing fights and the use of a "magical staff" but it received decent reviews. | ''Star Fox Adventures'' was released for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]] in 2002.

A year after the crisis at Sauria, a new threat haunts the Lylat and brings up images of past enemies: Andross. His nephew [[Andrew Oikonny]] has taken over [[Venomian Army|his uncle's army]] and has begun to attack Corneria. To add to the threat, a new alien force has come to Lylat: the [[Aparoid]]s. Bent on absorbing the life in the system, the alien invasion brings about devastation to the citizens of these planets, and the Star Fox team is forced to protect them, as long as they can stay alive themselves. | A year after the crisis at Sauria, a new threat haunts the Lylat and brings up images of past enemies: Andross.

''Star Fox: Assault'' was developed by [[Namco]] for the GameCube, the second title for the platform. The game emphasis returned to its roots with its trademark ship-based shooting. However, new features were added, such as the addition of on-foot missions. ''Assault'' was released to mixed reviews, with the main complaints being control problems, the short length of the main game, and the amount of on-foot missions. | ''Star Fox: Assault'' was developed by [[Namco]] for the GameCube, the second title for the platform.
